Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough there is no actual FM radio station with the call sign WYBS, during the 1970s there was a pirate station in Hartford, Connecticut, operating as WYBS at 88.9 MHz. The fictional WYBS in the show transmits at 89.3 FM.
- GoofsWhen the dome lands, it slices a cow in half, which slumps to the ground, sliding on the dome's surface. It leaves no blood behind on the dome's surface, yet when Dale (Mike Vogel) touches it with his blood-covered hand, it leaves a bloody handprint behind. The cow should have left behind blood as well.
- Quotes
Dodee Weaver: We're the only thing on air right now - AM, FM, anywhere.
Phil Bushey: Yeah, the blackout, I know.
Dodee Weaver: No, even if that were statewide, every station our size has its own generator, so why is the whole dial still static?
Phil Bushey: I don't know. But our ratings are gonna be amazing.
Featured review
Disappointing
Alright, no idea about the book and anyway, this is the pilot of the tv series.
I guess you might like it if you like the supernatural and intrigues and mysterious stuff. But I simply cannot keep watching it. Not appealing enough. Maybe I had high expectations.
Acting is bizarre and stiff most of the times: the scene where I would expect raw emotion I dont get much. No one is really panicking. On top of the that camera work and cinematography are plain vanilla and predictable. Storytelling wise... again predictable: conflicts and jealousy and resentment are boiling under the surface, but of course you need to keep watching.
Also: too many characters at once. Unclear who is who and what are doing. I would like to focus on 1 main character who ideally is, at least, a bit interesting. Not sure if the barbie dude is supposed to be our guy but I couldnt care less about him, he's a bad boy with a golden heart ok, and then?
The cow split in half is embarrassingly fake. Not sure why they stayed on that thing over and over.
