"Apocalyptic good and evil, undercut by its own structure"
After a genetically engineered plague wipes out most of the world's population, the handful of survivors find themselves drawn toward one of two figures: a gentle elderly prophet promising community and hope, or a charismatic drifter offering power and vengeance. Adapted from Stephen King's sprawling novel, the show jumps around in time rather than telling events in order, aiming for apocalyptic dread and biblical-scale good-versus-evil stakes. It looks handsome and has a strong cast, but the fractured structure saps momentum, and the tone stays grim and self-serious rather than gripping throughout its short run.
