Goggins is one of my favorite actors, here perfectly cast again. He displays just enough combination of dash, dread, humor, sympathy and quirkiness. He is so unique. Purnell also perfectly cast, showing the naïveness, vulnerability and strength. Wonderful cast all around!
The story is a drama, in a dark and light comedy, in a mystery, in a sci-fi. For 200 years after the apocalypse, people live underground in tunnel, built by a commercial self-interested company, and they are ready to get back above ground, but something's wrong, the leader is kidnapped, and it's tough to tell who is actually the good guy and the bad guy, which leads to the complexity and the mystery of the characters and the plot.
There's humans, Iron-Man type of soldiers, ghouls, terrible raw state-of-nature humans above ground, a brewing terrible state of sophisticated humans below the ground, a beautiful dog, and creatures, revenge, betrayal and more.
As for me, I like all genres of movies, but it seems that this production is balanced enough to attract a very wide audience, even those who might not gravitate toward sci-fi. If you made me choose between this series and the Marvel movies, this is a far better and more engaging story than the best of the Marvel. The reason is that the story and the themes are so well balanced.
This is a very well-made production. Great casting, direction, sets, and just a great story well-told. Each episode leaves you wanting more.
