I see it's based on the book by Hugh Howey, who also did the Silo series which I really enjoyed the TV adaptation of. I'm wondering if it's any good as I don't have a lot of time for starting too many TV shows at the moment.

Thank you so much for this, I don't really read books so I'm enjoying reading and re-reading your comment. There's some really cool sci-fi in here after all! I wish they could have gotten to this more quickly in the show. I didn't need a whole "jump the shark" episode of "will the hero fix the generator before everyone dies?" when I know that's the main character and there are more episodes in the season lol.

Insane that that he would kill everyone on the planet save for a hundred thousand or two.
