The greatest movie ever made..!

Strong and Moving!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Season 1 was fast paced, Hunger Games like thrills where twenty year olds compete to stay alive (metaphorically) for a chance at a much better future on the Offshore. The acting appears to be great through it's always tough to tell when you have an English dub over. Season 2 was where the show started to move in a somewhat different direction and a few episodes involving the Cause members on the inland were quite boring. The season ended strong however and the character development for the mainstays has kept me rooting for them. The main issue I have with this show is the fact that I find it difficult to choose a side. Like the character Michelle, I find myself disliking both the people from the Offshore AND the inland. Plus this show leaves so many questions unanswered. Like where does the Offshore get it's food supply? How does the inland survive without any farms? It doesn't seem like anyone actually has a job other than the military and process. Are these the only people left on Earth?? Great show, but I hope these questions get answered in upcoming seasons.

Really nice to see the huge evolution from first to second season. The history is more deep now and the characters are more complex. Congratulations! The third season needs to keep this ball rolling and increasing the quality.

The plot is not a bad idea but not well executed. It is a very incoherent story line. It is suppose to show the human condition and how utopian societies are doomed to fail, but it is not very believable because the characters do not respond in normal human patterns but rather in very contrived manners to force the story along. I watched both seasons hoping it would pull together but overall disappointing. Watching it dubbed makes it even worse so I recommend subtitles if you want to risk watching it. There was enough pull to keep me watching but ultimately left me frustrated, and not because it was some cleverly put together brain twisting plot, but because the writers just did not seem to be able to bring their ideas together in a cohesive manner.

So far, the only versions of the second season I can find are dubbed, horribly. If you can find a version with the original language it might be watchable, season one was a decent time passer. But I refuse to put up with dubbing, the heck with banning guns, ban dubbing first.
