looking at what I wrote i don't see one thing in my review that deems this a "guy's show". The "family dynamic" deals with--families. Husbands and wives, daughters and daughters-in-low, brothers and sisters. Women are very central to this show. I'm not getting where you draw that conclusion. You are right. It is just rare for a guy to talk about more than action. And i really don't understand the survivalist thing either: this is more than just a bunch of nuts out in the woods running around, this is about the survival of real cities. As i stated, this is about how *any* of us would react if--some might say when--this happened to us. That is what I am talking about. The dynamics of people when in a"end of the world situation" usually has guys as the central characters. somehow you seem to have gleaned from all i wrote only that it's some high-action paramilitary survivalist series that appeals to guys. I got it from the previews that CBS always shows. They always show action shots. They never show the emotional part of the story. If I conveyed that impression from my words, then mea culpa. It's way more than that. It's ce rtainly not a "big mess". " A big mess " =some many different themes going on at once. And like I said, maybe the superficial description of the plots seems obvious and cliched, but as I said, how it's put together is anything but. You just may not like it, but i think that's personal preference. It is definitely way more than a dumb guy's show focused on nothing but survivalists and fighting. Mayb I should watch it. The preview for the show had a man from Wyoming coming in and taking over. That is why I thought it as a man show. **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.
