The Passage was better. It's too bad, because some money was spent on making this series. They have a scientific reason the "vampires" are happening, creepy evil government plots and all of the end times drama desperation. What they don't have is decent writing or acting. It is very disappointing, because it has great bones. I find the kid character very irritating, but wonder why he seems, at times, smarter than his Dr. Father? I don't think season two could get worse.
