Just started watching, it's decent.
But I'm tired of these lead femal characters in movies/tv/books who have some goal, don't care about anything else, don't care who they hurt, and do nothing but ignore all the people trying to help.
Yea yea you're strong and independent; Jesus frick realize some people know more than you and give good advice...

I'm still trying to figure out how the worst actor on the show got the lead role.

Would you rather have a female lead who stands around waiting for a sparkly vampire to save her?

Haven't male characters been doing this for decades?

Edit: Seriously, how is she any different then Sam on Supernatural?

I caught the first episode but haven't brought myself to watch any after that yet. I love the premise but the execution is awful. I would far prefer to watch a real adult, probably in his or her upper 30's or lower 40's, who has the full benefit of an education received prior to the blackout and uses that knowledge along with his or her life experiences and pragmatism to win the day. Instead we get this dumbass teenage girl who knows nothing but thinks she knows everything. I am tired of these shows/movies that dump inexperienced kids into these situations. Let's give the adults a crack at it.

Maybe I am wrong but anyone growing up in that world wouldn't be so dramatic. Death and despair would seemingly be commonplace. Yet she overreacts and gets so damn emotional about everything. Every negative thing I have said about the show has be the result of getting pissed off about her most recent crying or brooding spell. Once you see her in a scene you start noticing all kinds of dumb stuff that otherwise you would have let slide.

For you people who say "but this isn't a real world so don't point out real stuff". Just because it isn't real doesn't mean it doesn't have to be believable. Charlie wouldn't be that damn emotional or stubborn in that world or she would not have lasted 30 minutes after leaving their village.
