I started watching a show called, Revolution. Don't know if anyones talked about it. Post apocalyptic tv show. Although, no nuclear holocaust, the premise is, electric just shut off, nothing electric works anymore.
Lotta killing and brutality. Definitely alot of inspiration drawn from Kevin Costners "Postman" as far as the setting and feel and a little fallout. (although one direct situation was taken directly out of the postman. Where this hard core murderous officer in the primary antagonist militia group, reveals he was an insurance claims adjuster before the power went out. Very falloutish though with the bounty hunters, bandits and competing factions. You see a map of North America in the "Munroe Republic" headquarters, and its sliced and died into other factions, the only other which I could see was the Georgia Federation. Its been pretty good so far.
The show starts off before the power goes out, but then fast forwards 15 years(where the series actually takes place), but has frequent flashbacks. Although a primary plot point, is there are "12" people that apparently know how to get the power back on, and these factions are looking for them.
Its interesting to find out what many of the people did before the blackout, some are a surprise considering their activities now, some not so surprising.
