Critic Reviews for Salvation: Season 1

Audience Reviews for Salvation: Season 1

• Mar 22, 2023

  Salvation is outstanding show! It is a multi-dimensional dynamic political thriller combined with brilliant performances by the team of actors... I am appalled that the rotten tomato critics gave unsubstantiated low scores of 45% to the show Salvation which had from 7.0 to 3.4 million viewers (in the summer!)! This is versus 97% they gave to rather boring show Succession which had much smaller audience from 0.5 to 1.7 (at best) million viewers. Who can trust to these 'critics'... The Salvation show deserves much higher score of 95-100% and continuation for another season 3, at least.

  It is a very captivating show which keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.. A wonderful combination of a terrific thriller with smart plot of saving the humankind from the internal and external dangers. Which one is more dangerous? It is not so clear during the development of the events. This show encourages to respect knowledge and smartness, dedication and invention. This is brilliant combination of a political thriller with sci-fi theme which appeals to younger generation of technology-educated people. It is a very timely show and the viewers want to see season 3, at least. How the problems will be resolved, what else is prepared in political battles, will Darius Tanz establish a contact with the arrivals - all these questions need to be answered.. So we meet again the brilliant cast of the show... Although I have a few big questions to the reviews by so called critics..They issued very strange and biased reviews in July 2017, a day before the show started, after viewing only the first two episodes which only setup the dynamics of the show. They did not bother to revise them later when show came to season 2. I completely disagree with all of them. Because the show shown a great potential and terrific plays by the actors. Santiago Cabrera was brilliant playing flowlessly very different aspects of his character at different parts of the show. The same can be said about Jennifer Fennigan and Ian Anthony Dale who presented very well their characters of patriotic young officials in WH and DOD whose only wish is to serving their nation and make the thing right. The younger generation was well represented by Charlie Rowe, a smart MIT postdoctoral graduate who has a real talent and views for innovation. His story become even more dramatic after realising that he was adopted as a baby by a wonderful woman. Also very important were the characters of Jacqueline Byers who brought a very different character of an intuitive writer and hearty female who brings other angle into the picture for saving the humankind. Contradictory character of Melia Kreiling brought a good spice into the fight for survival combined with the wish to be recognised... With all these characters, thrilling plot which reminded me in places the best of James Bond films but with the much more humanised hero - a scientists and technological genius Darious Tanz. I suspect after viewing this series more young people with to study STEM and to achieve some success in research. This is much better that showing films about alcoholics, drug edicts and criminals with they breaks from prison... So what exactly the critics were missing here?

  Yawn yawn yawn. They draw this thing out so long you almost want to see the earth blow up in order to avoid anymore tedious excuses to extend the series. If you must, watch every third episode on fast forward while you respond to social media messages. Trust me, you won't lose track of the plot.

  This is a captivating political thriller developing on the background of the existential threat to the Earth. On some unclear to me reasons, most reviews concentrate mainly on the background event of asteroid and refuse to notice the exciting thriller part, which include intrigues in the powers of White House, large corporations and multibillioners. This series is much bigger and more skilled than the films mentioned in some reviews (Deep impact or Armageddon etc). It is more likely like White House down or Air Force one. But bringing the line of Q17 makes it even more thrilling as many people can now recognise having come through covid conspiracies and the insurrection by trump supporters. I am a space scientist and I found this film fascinating… it has a high purpose, it is dynamic, smart and shows different aspects of human lives. It speaks about humankind, dignity, humanity and family values instead of digging into the corrupted world of drug edicts, prisoners or serial killers like many other series which are difficult to watch to the people with clear minds not affected by any of these stimulants. I would love to see the season 3 as this series appeals to the best parts of our brains.

  Terrible writing, a very low budget and far to slow paced. Possibly the worst show I've ever watched.

  This show started out with an interesting concept and initially seemed like a decent production for a network series. It was occasionally a little unrealistic, campy, jumbled like you would expect from a network series, but it started better than average. However, it gradually deteriorated into much worse writing and dialogue. I couldn't finish the first season and certainly wouldn't give season 2 a try.

  American production companys really sucks. cancelling tv-shows before presenting their audiences with a proper and viable conclusion that is in my opinion the lowest of the low, especially when sending a drama with an apocalyptic suspence, hell we want to know how it all ends....
