I started watching it, and then, first episode (pilot), the mayor and his son need a HAM radio, the mayor learns that there's only one in town and goes "oh no" , but not as in "oh we are doomed" but as in "oh crap, we need to visit that whacko" , so it's a comical moment, and this is after the U.S has been attacked by multiple nuclear detonations yes ?
Okay, so the two go to the house of the "only person in town with a HAM radio", and guess what? he's a prepper.. so, yes, he greats them with a shotgun in their face (but the mayor and son do not get excited from the nutty prepper and treat the person rather comically), and when he is asked for the HAM unit, he replies "that will be 50 cents" , the mayor hands him a bill and prepper responds "I'll get you the change". Obviouly, the prepper is portraid like a nutty, shotgun totting loaner. BIG surprise there. And this is in a show about a major SHTF scenario. What !?
Well, after watching that scene I got pretty sour about watching this show, I can't really expect much at this point.
Did anyone watch it through, is it still worth the time ?
Thanks.
