Survivors Cancelled
BBC has cancelled the post-civ collapse drama, Survivors, due to low ratings. I am a little bummed but not too surprised. The show follows a group of English survivors after a flu pandemic wipes out 90-99% of the Earth's population. It is an amazing show as it puts average naive Britons in realistic situations of a world after society collapses.
The series begins with a sort of 28 Days Later sans zombies vibe. It progresses to a dramatic thriller that, at times, feels like Cormac McCarthy's world of The Road (although not as bleak). I highly recommend the series to anyone interested in systems collapse, post-apocalyptical scenarios, survivalism, and/or just a good drama with a lot of character development.
The dvd's will be available in the US later this month.

keep me posted when the DVDs come out - although I'll be bummed at the lack of resolution!
Comes out 4/27. I am considering purchase.
A friend of ours has the series downloaded as well as the original 1970's series it is based on.
You will love the show!
So many questions left unanswered, i'm bummed
Neel,
