Salvation
 
I watched the pilot for Salvation last night and absolutely loved it, it is definitely my cup of tea. The story is excellent as is the production quality. I looked it up and the guy who produces it did Spiderman, the new Star Trek films plus a tonne of other films you will all have seen. The show description is below and I strongly suggest everyone gives it a go. It is by far the best series I have watched this summer (until GoT starts this weekend :))



Quote:

An MIT grad student and a tech superstar bring a low-level Pentagon official a staggering discovery that an asteroid is just six months away from colliding with Earth. Without alerting the public, MIT grad student Liam Cole and tech billionaire Darius Tanz team up to save humanity from this impending apocalypse. Keeping it secret will complicate life for Liam and those closest to him.
Meanwhile, the government has its own approach. Grace Barrows is both the Pentagon Press Secretary and a single mom, and she deftly navigates the complicated waters of both jobs. Deputy Secretary of Defense Harris Edwards has been tasked with running their own top-secret plan to deflect the asteroid. Meanwhile, Darius recruits an aspiring sci-fi writer, Jillian, to work on a theoretical approach to saving humanity - a project that might prove to be all too real.

I have downloaded this to watch tonight.

It is one of those series where you want to make sure the curtains are closed and you have got peace and quiet so you can concentrate and enjoy it. The best way I describe it for anyone who is interested is a mix between Armageddon/24/Designated Survivor.

Re: Salvation
 
Watched it tonight.

I cant say it stood out, had all the usual plot lines in it.
However, it wasnt bad either, so I'll give a few more episodes, see how it pans out.

If they really start dragging it out though, I can see me getting bored of it.

Re: Salvation
 
yeah, I can understand it covering a whole season and I looked it up expecting it to be a mini-series. When I saw it was a normal tv series I thought "what are they going to do for season 2?"

We may have a seen a lot of it before but it is nice to have it in a series and not a movie because it means we get a weekly dose.

General Maximus 24-09-2017 21:57

Re: Salvation
 
well I have just watched the finale and can't wait for season 2, I just hope it gets renewed. You know a series is good when you crave more and I definitely do for this one. The story was excellent and paced perfectly over 13 eps. I wish it was a full season like Designated Survivor where they could tell the complete story because if it gets cancelled I am going to cry.

Re: Salvation
 
I'm not holding out hope as networks seem very fickle.

However, aside from Big Brother, its been the top viewed summer show for CBS, levelling out at around 3.5 million viewers, and a good 0.52 score in the 1849 demo.

Just watched it and I loved it too, you're right General, it's a "must watch" for SciFi fans!

It's just finished it's first season run so let's hope CBS renews it for a second season.

Re: Salvation
 
CBS has renewed Salvation for a second season of 13 episodes.

cimt 19-10-2017 03:31

Re: Salvation
 
Ohh, I guess I'll have to finish watching the first season. I dunno where they can take it like but that might be more obvious in the final episodes...

General Maximus 19-10-2017 07:15

Re: Salvation
 
excellent news, it is too good not to renew it. Depending where they wanted to go with it I would be quite happy seeing them launch the arc into space and turn it into a proper scifi series and see them land on Mars and how they create their new civilisation.

Re: Salvation
 
Just watched the Season 2 finale.

I can safely say, I did not see that [ending] coming.

General Maximus 19-09-2018 18:01

Re: Salvation
 
haven't seen it yet, I am watching it tonight.

What streaming service is this on, i see S1 is possibly on Amazon Prime?

Looks like i may have to use Kodi to watch it.

General Maximus 19-09-2018 18:29

Re: Salvation
 
You should give it a go. It is a bit far fetched sometimes but the production quality is excellent and at the end oc every episode you just want more more more.

Where is S2 available or do i have to resort to other means for getting it? :D

General Maximus 19-09-2018 19:21

Re: Salvation
 
As it has only just finished in the US i doubt a UK broadcaster and air date has been organised yet.

Yes that is my plan.

Paul 20-09-2018 03:26

Re: Salvation
 
or use "alternative" sources for the entire season pack.

flipping heck talk about a curve ball, I think that is the biggest surprise/shock I have had in a very long time as far as tv series go. I was wondering all the way through this season what they were going to do because there is only so long you can drag out the impending doom for. It seems like a bit of a random thing to do but they have obviously thought about where they want to go with it for season 3. I am very intrigued.

SnoopZ 01-10-2018 23:13

Re: Salvation
 
I have just binge watched both seasons and OMG I need more damn it give me more!!!

General Maximus 01-10-2018 23:33

Re: Salvation
 
Yup, it is very good. Fingers crossed it gets renewed.

Its odds are not good, its viewing figures were down by 25% on last year.

It depends on whether CBS decide its easier to run with it for another year, or risk something else that might fare even worse.

General Maximus 03-10-2018 09:21

Re: Salvation
 
They need to renew it for one more season and let them know it is going to end so they can wrap up the main story and finish off the characters nicely, they deserve it after everything they have been through.

Paul 21-11-2018 02:58

Re: Salvation
 
It got cancelled.
