Hardly a Review: Revolution

This week’s going to be a fairly big week for post-apocalyptic reviews, but seeing as we’re in 2012 did you expect any less from tv show writers? I mean they need inspiration... and if it’s not 12 feet in front of their face it doesn’t exist! Yeah, that was a pretty low joke, but let’s face it, the worlds ending in three months, there’s no way they’ll find me in time. Anyways onto a show I’ve been looking forward to for months, and I’ve finally had the chance to catch the first two episodes.

Revolution is a post-apocalyptic adventure story set 15 years after pretty much every invention and major discovery made since 1850 mysteriously stops working. In the intervening decade and a half, the governments of the world have collapsed and been replaced by the militia’s who were sensible enough to grab the guns before the food. Remember citizens, in a survival situation, always go for the guns first. The story follows Charlotte Matheson and her posse as she tries to rescue her imprisoned brother from their feudal overlords and discover the part her father played in the blackout, and how it can be undone.
