So here it is, fine. I return to the IMDb, after some months -- or is it years?? Planning to make comments about a specific "Red Widow," character (irwin). But then the, IMHO, totally inaccurate ratings score, for the whole series, so far?? its bogus. It caught my attention. And what was that number??..I FREAKED OUT!!, lol! Because, WTF?? Reason??: the IMDb rating/score, was way too low!! Again, because, IMHO, this TV series is not anything less than AWESOME!! Newbies? Do NOT believe the seemingly eligible or the hype, that the moms demographic, is true! It is NOT!!.. And it's not their fault, OK.?? Because, maybe yes, I'm just a random video participating human movie director/producer who could use - in a gazillion different ways - a ratings boost? Fine. But plz. don't judge me & also pray the sincerity my super sincere coaches is easily revealed.
"Persons Unknown" turns out to be an unexpected surprise for the better! When I first read that it took place in a ghost town I decided (at first) to never watch it. But I discovered this is no ordinary ghost town (it's fairly modern). I saw that Kandyse McClure would be in it and right away I remembered an interview she had given. In it she mentioned she'd be playing the role of someone very opposite of her Battlestar Galactica (2004) character, Anastasia "Dee" Dualla. This is what got me to watch because I thought that detail alone might make it worth a viewing. But by the time her "Persons Unknown" character arrived on the scene I was hooked. A small group of people under a lot of pressure confined to a tiny, fully intact but otherwise unpopulated hamlet? Makes for great drama and a compelling mystery. Good casting/talent overall makes it all the more interesting. This one season 'mini-series' will keep me watching until the last episode. I do appreciate when a well acted show gives us at least a handful of seasons. But this model (13 scheduled episodes) is much like the incredibly well received Korean 'k-dramas' that are becoming popular in the west (many are from 16 to 20 episodes). With the right story it's definitely a model that works, too. Would love to see more well made serials that are similar re: this format.
Pray ABC keeps this one on board. It's already an interesting drama/sci-fi/mystery and I'm really wanting to know who (I really suspect it's a "what") Beta is: the one that makes major decisions for the human astronauts but has remained in shadow so far...The cast is excellent and well seasoned (I do not mean old!) -- this automatically lends a trusted measure of character to the series. I rarely watch anything on a regular basis - but I have remembered to view "Defying Gravity" every week... and if you want to know the overall 'climate' of my other IMDb comments check the other posts attached to my account - always a good idea around here (O; .
