Daybreak
Kevin Costner is a big deal rancher. There is talk of an oil boom. Costner is obsessed with being a landowner and has a lawyer son. There are loads and loads of characters and exposition. Danny Huston growls. Costner does not speak, he orates at his kin and at a developer.
Costner's character has manly men sons. Some bitchy slut sister hangs out. Blow-ins are unwelcome and they cause trouble. Dutton (Costner) sends out a posse to move a river. There is gunfire and death and drama. This was okay soap.

The Trouble With Maggie Cole 1x05
Maggie instigated all this trouble. Maggie's in a huff with Peter her husband. Why's she upset? I've no idea what she's whining about. Maggie is stupid, stupid. I've literally no idea what the issue is until exposition reveals the son put someone in a coma and gave them a TBI.
Maggie perjoratively referred to people in discreditable fashion and now runs off due to manic egotism. She demands validation and is despondent and trenchant in her awfulness. Maggie's not conscientious. She's ghastly. Alex is ghastly and a thief and the money (now burnt) belongs to his demented grandmother.
People eat raisins from 2007 and this show is in dramatic decline. Will Maggie piss off? There is no lasting resolution. There are disastrous consequences to Maggie's gossip girl carry on. Nobody is guided by humanity. Maggie is ignorant and deluded. Alex does a pre-meditated attack.
Why are people pandering to Maggie who raged and defamed people with her deluded theories and she spewed conspiracy theories on a platform? Why nobody has sued her is shocking. The landlord reveals he is AWOL. Alex has general purpose hate/rage. Maggie's profoundly harmful and has a mission to disrupt and distort. Alex is also profoundly harmful. This was slow and nonsensical.
Alex is horrific and this ep was repetitive and dull. There is no massive upheaval or change. This was all mundanity. The school sceretary, Karen, kisses Peter in this grinding emptiness. This was ineffectual and Alex screams incoherently, burgles and attacks Roxy and a child. Alex is erratic and yet the police aren't called.

Zeus
Divina must be taken care of. Why is there power? There is an absence of strategic vision. The police show up. The producer plans to kill zombie Divina. A congressman lurks snorting cocaine with other survivors. Nobody has skills or common sense. The director rants and rarely if ever reaches a place of contentment. There is corpse defilment and bad and evil thoughts. No.

“Stupidest idea I ever heard.”
“Beyond that gate lies hell itself.”
“Hell delivered up the dead.”

The End
Levi's group show up at Olympus. The tv dream has turned to dust. The director is tied up. The city is ruined and there is gunfire and a sense of uselessness. The director is disgusting and eaten. This is not traumatic as the cast all die at the hands of biters. People are trapped and new unscrupulous morons will take over the plot I suppose. No.
Best Lines:
“Useless idiots!”
“Little late for regrets.”
“Old crazy guy we got locked in the bathroom.”
“You're on bucket duty.”
“Community of hippies.”
