This show is depressing, claustrophobic, and cliché. It has an assortment of characters and plot elements borrowed from other plays and shows.
There is the disillusioned war hero that decides to sign on as sheriff. There is Lady Macbeth. There is the great leader that doubts her abilities. Of course, there is Romeo and Juliet.
The show centers on a rebuilt town trying to hold its own against a fallen and desperate world. That is the claustrophobic part.
And the whole show is, no doubt, filled with contemporary liberal morality. "We must learn to accept diversity in a new world where everyone is an immigrant." Not that they really are. That is just what we are supposed to accept. Never mind that the newly diverse crowd has destroyed the environment and left civilization in ruin.
I miss shows like Star Trek that centered on a positive future that is moving forward. This show features a world hopelessly lost in the middle ages. Please, no more remakes of Mad Max!
