In 2010 the prime-time shows will face some stiff competition in the Sci-Fi genre. Bringing together an apocalypse, science fiction, aliens, and drama all together in one, NBC is looking to be a key player in Sci-Fi.
Here’s the synopsis:
Day One chronicles a global catastrophe from the perspective of the residents of a southern California apartment complex. In the wake of a mysterious event that has shattered lines of communication and (literally) changed the shape of the world, the survivors must work together to both rebuild and save the Earth from a menace that might have already consumed countless other worlds…
Here’s the trailer:
A buddy of mine who actually works for the show tells me that the computer graphics and music are all temporary. Since the show isn’t supposed to be out until January of next year, it gets me even more excited. As you may recall, this was one of the things that really turned me off from V.
If they can get the dialogue going a little better, improve on the graphics, and stay away from cliches, it has a chance at being successful. They will have some tough competition with V and Lost both starting in mid-season, so perhaps this will make them really invest in the show. Competition is always good for the consumer.
