Disappointing series from Syfy, which I stopped early in the season. Didn't expect a top series of course, but I had secretly hoped for fun B entertainment. Unfortunately, it hardly manages to captivate for a single moment.

First of all, big negatives for the casting. Billy Campbell, Alan, has an annoying head at first glance. His face lives up to expectations, because Alan is also just a bloody annoying little man. No charisma at all. Why make such a figure your main character...? What's left?... A soldier who, in addition to having a slightly too high 'gay content', also acts moderately. And perhaps the biggest annoyance: the slightly overweight 'monkey woman', who is supposed to be funny in a gross way, but is not at all. The whole cast is actually an annoyance.

What else does the series have to offer? I thought the pilot itself was pretty good. The isolated atmosphere (reminiscent of The Thing) is nice, and the special effects generally look pretty nice (with the exception of the 'rat fight', which still makes me laugh). Unfortunately, the story just doesn't catch on at all. Nice and incompetent mess too... There's a life-threatening infected guy walking around in a building that you can't possibly leave. How hard is it to track down the guy you might say???. The story cannot be burned forward and there is actually no question of any tension or mystery. But even if that were the case, the characters are so unsympathetic that I wouldn't really care what happened to them.

It all sounds very negative right now, and for the most part I am. However, it is not really boring. It all looks pretty good. But to watch 2 seasons for my pleasure: no....
