Review: Disappointing
Rating: 2 out of 5

The first Karma story was about as good as the source material, and I awarded it five stars. Since then, my ratings have dropped one star per episode. Not on purpose, of course, but the quality does seem to perish throughout the series. Initially, it was very ambitious and concise, whereas Rising up, even more than its predecessor, wanders about, dwelling a lot with inner thoughts and perspective on silo life already covered better in Howey's works.I was hoping the puzzling third episode to be a transition piece only. With episode 4 being more of the same, I am now hoping for the upcoming final installment to have some redeeming quality to the series and tie it all together. As it stands, I'd recommend reading the first two episodes only.
