Wonderful character development!

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Did the producers, writers, whoever even glance at the book? If you've read the book, don't bother watching this drivel. Can we start with the fact that it opens with the main character in a car with her sister, despite the fact that in the book it says she is poor and hardly anyone owns cars anymore? Also, her sister Rachel is not supposed to really be in the picture. Where are Carol, Grace and Jenny? Also WHO in the F are the Finemans? Now you're making up characters? The whole initial meeting with Alex is absolute BULLSHIT. And it was supposed to be cows, not sheep.I stopped watching at this point because it was just so awful and I felt bad for the cast because it must be impossible to put forth your best effort with such shitastic writing.Never been so disappointed in an adapted movie. Where was Lauren Oliver during the making of this tragic film?

The show was a watered down romantic rip off, of the movie Equilibrium. With no fighting. Standard easily readable plot line Two characters fall in love. Get split up. Have to then find each other etc.... All the time the big leaders are living secretly with love. The cure is just to control the masses. With the sub plot of finding her father. That we know will never happen until the very last episode or he'll die after series 2. 5 minutes after finally finding him..The whole no love but every other emotion is intact..??? Futuristic nonsense, wrapped up in a Romeo & Juliet package. Standard boring teen romance.

Because I liked the books I was pretty excited about this series and to see how this would translate onto the small screen. After watching the first episode I was pretty disappointed. The story moves way to fast and does not spend enough time introducing the characters or explaining the concept. The relationships between the characters evolve to quick and are very unbelievable.I feel like they really wanted to put as much of the books storyline into this one episode and it causes the whole thing the feel hasted. I truly don't understand why the pace had to be so fast and why they did not just take more time to get into the characters and the story.All and all it was a complete waste of some really good story material. The acting on the other side was pretty good, I was especially impressed with Emma Roberts who plays the lead as Lena. It is a shame that they rushed the thing because they really could have made a great show with this cast and story.

This aired an a pilot episode on Hulu after it was rejected as a series for the Fox channel. I actually wish that I never watched this because after seeing it I longed for another episode, but then after a quick google search realized there would not be another. It's a great thriller romance and the plot is fairly original. I think the actors chosen also played their parts well and none of them came with a predetermined character type that they usually play the role of. Great show and I wish it could have been picked up; I'll just have to read the books to find out what happens.
