I'll give it an extra star, giving two stars because of Cato's character, my fav!
I'll start my review with what I liked about the show. The first 7 episodes were Amazing! My favorite characters were Rosalee, Noah, James, Stine, Cato, Elizabeth, and John.
I really love the character development of Cato! I loved his character all the way to the end, even though most viewers would question his authenticity, I think he was brilliant!
Stine was willing to save her children by any means necessary which really had me excited every time she came on the scene.
Rosalee was portrayed as delicate but she had the same "fight" in her that Noah had which really had me intrigued by her character.
Noah was a strong, intelligent leader. He was born to be free and he knew it.
I thought James was a great child actor. He caught my attention when he cried. It almost made me cry!
Elizabeth and John loved all people and they were both humble and driven.
Now, this show went downhill at the end of Episode 8.
Unnecessary killings that had no impact on the plot and then they switched scenes so fast introducing new characters that were never explained of who they were. Absolute confusion.
Then Stine's character was absolutely destroyed in Season 2 for no meaningful purpose.
I don't like the turn the writers took in Season 2. I completely lost interest. I only finished watching, out of curiosity of how it would end, but I was completely bored in Season 2.
I will watch the first 7 episodes again and again! Talented actors!
