Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

sgtbusmc It is just by chance that I had just heard of this series mere moments ago and will now scramble to find where I can watch it...my rating will remain neutral for the time being, until I can give a fair and balance review after actually watching it-----but I had to come online and ask and state that when I heard of this show the first thing I thought of was "The Tribe", it sounds so similar with the young coping in a world where the adults have become a non entity, (and also from New Zealand).I got hooked on "The Tribe" while overseas with the Marines during the nineties and it looks like this just might be a re- fit.

jaimevrl765 The Sparticle Mystery and Between can't hold a candle to this show which also involves adults disappearing. This show goes beyond the teen soap opera angle and adds a great deal of sci-fi mystery to the show. The story is less about, "look at how these kids struggle and interact in this adult-less world", and more about "what in the world is going on, what is trying to kill us etc."One advantage this show has over "The Sparticle Mystery", which has a similar premise and identical target audience, is their non-comical villains. A main antagonist in The Sparticle Mystery was a bratty young child that gained power for some inexplicable reason. The villains and threats in The Cul De Sac are far more thrilling than some 10 year old kid who is mean.I would say that the first season of this show are the beginnings of a great sci-fi show and I look forward to seeing how the mystery plays out. From what I hear this show is getting a second season so I will not be disappointed.
