Good re-watch

[catalyst2]

Spent most of the day watching Survivors (2008) - Series 1 - heresy though it may be, this is as good as the original although I have to pretend that the original is a different series altogether. Part of the original's charm is the utter lack of knowledge of any explanation for the pandemic - it just happens and sweeps all before it.

Ironically, part of the charm of the 2008 re-make is the effort to explain a little of how and why (especially in S2) - it just means that the original and the re-make have completely different feels to them and focus on different perspectives.
