After a few minutes of watching this first episode, I stopped it to check that this was actually the first, and that I hadn't by mistake come into the series halfway through. This was utterly ridiculous. We suddenly have conversations between people we don't know, in places we have no idea where they are, about things we don't understand. The acting is pretty dire throughout, especially by the lead girl Frannie. It's just weird, apparently shot on a budget and boring. To make The Stand boring is quite an achievement.
