'Revolution'

<b>What we said then:</b> "The track records of the people in front of and behind the camera on 'Revolution' will probably keep us watching for at least a few more weeks. But <a href="http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2012/09/revolution-review-nbcs-new-drama-looks-for-adventure-off-the-grid.html"><b>a cool premise can only take a show so far</b></a>, and there's some work to do on the character front."<br><br>
<b>What we say now:</b> Although the show is still plagued by logic questions and cheesy action scenes, and it's consistently upstaged on the post-apocalyptic action-drama front by "The Walking Dead," "Revolution" has at least managed to keep its story moving forward at a steady pace and developed satisfyingly complex characters for cast standouts Billy Burke, Elizabeth Mitchell and Giancarlo Esposito. As for the others, well, killing off characters is always a good way to keep the audience guessing, right?<br><br>
