Revolution (Pilot Dir John Favreau)

Revolution is an upcoming american tv series set 15 years after all technology stops and the nature has retaken the world. The series follows the Matheson (with another character having the second name Neville I'm calling this an I am Legend reference, the scenery being overtaken by nature is also visually similar to the I Am Legend with Will Smith in) family one of which knew why the "lights went out" before his death and the others who are trying to rescue their kidnapped family member.
Take a look at the trailer:

Hulu have kindly shown the first episode before its premier and I have to say its ok. It is exactly what you would expect from the trailer so thats good and it is good however I am looking forward to some footage thats not in the trailer when the next few episodes come out. Not a lot of complex story has been revealed yet and the series is already playing with the restoration of tech. The one fight scene is pretty wicked and the general attention to the way the world works without technology gives the series a feeling of realism and adds an intelligence to the odd situation. Without many well known actors the show is a fairy big risk however the pilot is directed by Favreau and the series is created by the mind behind Supernatural and we all know how long thats been going! So overall I did enjoy it and its one to keep your eye on, if it gets better as it develops we could be looking at one of the next big series however with only 7 episodes this season its going to have to pull audiences in fast so be sure to check it out.
7.8/10 (I know exact right)
