Well it's a remake of a series that predates Lost. Does that help? LOL It feels nothing like Lost. Very different characters and very different motivations for their actions. With 99% of the world dead by the end of episode one it gets to the meat of the series pretty quickly.
If I'd compare the feel to any show it would be Jericho. Some of the same problems and struggles but with a lot less people and guns. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Omari Confer <clockwork...@...> wrote: > > Any genre work with surviving parties reminds me of "Lost"...... > > I want variety dag nab it!!! > > (Cant wait for The new Global Frequency to air!!) > > c w m > > On Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 5:29 PM, B Smith <daikaij...@...> wrote: > > > > > > > What about Survivors reminds you of Lost?
