I figured you'd have a thread on this one, Cheezy. If not I was going to start one, so I searched first. But funny how it slipped through the cracks and no one seems to have anything to say about it.
I too just burned through BSG on Amazon Prime, and decided to look up this one. I'm only on episode 3, it's interesting, but the jury's still out for me.
To me it's more like walking dead then BSG.
I've had a few WTF moments, because I keep feeling like I'm missing something. I know from reading the wikipedia that they start the story 6 months into the alien occupation, but it leaves a lot of backstory unanswered, and I think that's what I don't like.
I am interested to see if the Pope character develops, and he integrates into the community, I like him I think more than any other characters, It seems like the only three dimensional characters in the show are really him, tom and the doctor. Everyone else just seems background.
Maybe that's what I don't like, and maybe it's too soon, but the ensemble is really flat, though there could be some interesting plots and sub plots with the other characters. That's what made BSG, and makes walking dead so good, is all the characters have personalities and plots around them, with few "filler" characters. Here everything mostly revolves around Tom, and the only other two characters that have depth is the woman doctor, and Pope.
I know it's new in the series for me. Hopefully it will get better the deeper into the show I get. It has potential.
