Honestly, they completely botched it. First, we get this massive red orb that turns people into zombies, and then they decide Michael is the villain? To make matters worse, even "Michael" isn't his actual name! It’s absolute nonsense.
Good grief, what an absolute joke this PBS programming is! If this were FOX, they’d probably rerun it ten times a day just to grab the ratings... but no!!!! PBS insists on airing it at 10 in the morning when everyone is either stuck at work, sitting in class, or dead to the world sleeping!!!!!
