If you've been missing Giancarlo Esposito (AKA Gus from Breaking Bad)

You can find him again as the delightful villain on Revolution.

If you don't like dystopian stories, this isn't for you. I happen to like that kind of thing. I've only watched the pilot, but it seems pretty good so far. It's been renewed for a second season.

In a nutshell: the USA goes dark—literally. There is no electricity, power, electronics etc. Good guys, bad guys, militia, survival, cities in ruins and searching for the key to turn the power back on.

Although at times it seems a little too family-friendly, and then they let major curse words fly around too, so that's weird.

It's the science that's killing me. You'll get more into it, but I just hate it. That part never makes any sense. Plus there are other weird things about how things are preserved and not.

But Giancarlo is always good. Much better part for him than Mirror Mirror on Once Upon A Time.

Dialog's a little trite at times too, but I'm still liking it.
