A few TV shows I watched this winter wrapped up their first seasons last week.
The Passage ⭐
The Passage was incredibly average, which for a network sci-fi horror drama is probably the best-case scenario. That being said, I really enjoyed the final episode of the season that was set after the vampires had broken out of the facility holding them and had spent a month sucking their way across the country, turning thousands, if not millions into sun-phobic blood-suckers. This isn’t the post-apocalyptic setting of The Walking Dead it’s the actual apocalypse where the government and military are still around fighting back, which hasn’t been done on TV before as far as I’m aware. However, the series looks to jump 100 years into the future and go straight to post-apocalyptic territory next season.
If there is a next season, that is.
Project Blue Book ⭐⭐
Slightly better than The Passage, and one series that’s definitely getting a second season, Project Blue Book ended in The X-Files territory with the UFO chasing events of the first season leading the characters to Washington DC where it seems the conspiracy of wanting to hide the UFOs from the public goes right to the top. I’m guessing the creators of this History channel series will keep looking for the truth behind the UFOs for many, many seasons to come.
