THE AFTER, a new Amazon original series from Chris Carter, creator of the X-FILES, tells the story of eight strangers thrown together during an inexplicable apocalyptic event. Basically, it’s LOST set during the apocalypse, complete with bizarre coincides (e.g., the strangers all have the same birthday) and numerous seeds planted to create mystery.
The mass chaos in the city streets was nicely done, though none of the characters are particularly compelling, it’s strange how these eight people all end up staying together instead of get to their homes, families or friends, and they could have done without the weird LOST plot seeds.
Those criticisms aside, it’s worth a look, and it’s currently streaming free at Amazon here.
