Review: Z2136... the final season has begun. UPDATE MAY 26... a disappointing ending... feeling both rushed and somewhat forced.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 15, 2014
"Z 2136" is the final season in the 'Z2134  series' co-authored by Sean Platt and David W. Wright.This e-book is a part of a Kindle Serial, where the reader gets all the installments for one price (in this case $1.99). Each weekly installment is automatically delivered to your Kindle reader.UPDATE: May 26, 2014 (having just finished Z2136)Highlight of Z2136... Chapter 30: a stunning, jaw-dropping segment featuring Liam, Chelsea and Katrina.Another chapter that stood out, but in a negative sort of way, was Chapter 56 featuring Calla and the some Zombies.Overall a great series except for the final few chapters that just stretched the limits of believability (believability within the context of the tale). With an end-sequence that to me, felt rushed and somehow incomplete. It reminded me of a series that was originally intended to go on for another season or two but the authors decided to finish it now. And this ending oozes of a decision to "end it soon"... resulting in 2 3/4 seasons of great story telling that succumbed, when all is said and done, to the temptation to bring out the executioners axe. I somehow expected better.Overall 3 season rating... 4 Stars (with a loss of 1 Star for the hurried conclusion)END UPDATEoriginal review...General theme <spoilers>This episode follows Ana, Liam and Katrina as they attempt to rescue Adam. However, unbeknownst to Ana and her colleagues, Adam is already part of the next Darwin GamesSome thoughts on "Z2136: episode 1"...1.) well written and edited.2.) there are several surprises and unexpected twists.3.) a cliffhanger ending.4.) if you've forgotten the details of where last season left off, there's enough 'recall' during this episode to get you up to speed.Impressions:The final season has begun... let's hope the boys finish with a flourish.Ray Nicholsonraynicholsonsreviews@hotmail.com@ralannicholson
