Into the Woods

In “Revolution,” the suburbs take on the look of medieval villages, with crops everywhere and chickens running loose.

I’m a great fan of dystopic and post-apocalyptic literature and movies. When good writers let loose their imaginations on where trends might be leading, or what a post-industrial world might look like, they always come up with something interesting.

Now, usually I’m years behind on stuff like this. But thanks to Hulu, Apple TV, and an improving Internet connection, I was able to watch the first episode of NBC’s new series “Revolution.” The first episode was broadcast last week, and I think the second episode, which I have not yet seen, was broadcast last night.

I’m not yet prepared to give it a good review. I haven’t seen enough of it. But so far it’s worth watching.
