I really enjoy Brit TV, they're not afraid to take on science fiction or fantasy, unlike American TV that likes to dip its toes in and then (usually) runs screaming from the pool to safely wrap up in a reality TV show or a CSI clone.
However we do at least one thing right in our shows... we kick anyone's ass that invades our territory. The show in question is about a group of survivors in England after a deadly flu epidemic that kills off 99% of the population. Hardly anyone is armed, except the bad guys of course, so our little group of heroes are constantly facing others that want to take their possessions. Not only that, but they keep running into bad guys everywhere. As much as I'm enjoying the show, the coincidences are getting to be aggravating. Four people in a ten mile radius? They're all at one house, trying to either rob it or protect their meager possessions. Come on people, there are MILLIONS of empty houses just begging to be searched. Stores and warehouses standing unguarded.
I was a fan of Jericho and those people didn't take shit off anyone. In Survivors, one of the women keeps leaving on her own to search for her son. Does anyone really think that's safe? Yet she's unarmed. What an idiot. The last scene, I had to stop because I was getting annoyed, showed two men driving up to the house our heroes were occupying... like I said, there are only a handful of people left in the world and they all seem to keep running into each other. Sheesh!
