Revolution appeared to be one more okayish formulaic show from around the JJ Abrams people.
The main whore can't pull it out of her ass for long and it gets bad here and there, broken surfer flower look or not.
The main MILF seems to get carted from Lost to V and elsewhere and everywhere they shut down shop sooner or later, so they might not drag this shit out like Lost, which was fucked out after season two or so and became more and more ridiculous each episode.
I guess if they style up the clichés in The Americans properly, that might have more potential.
The retro shit's worn out soon, too, I guess.
Sci-Fi is expensive unless it's all Falling Skies dark future thrift.
