joppatowne Definitely a series worth watching. Truly hope Netflix picks it up for a series. It is a series that keeps you guessing. The suspense was not overdone and despite the supernatural theme, it was a plausible plot. I enjoyed the actors and the scenery was spot on. I am a recent subscriber to Netflix pushed by my husband for Daredevil (another good show). So I decided to see what else Netflix had to offer. I was pleasantly surprised by this entry. I thought it would just be something to pass a stormy day, but it absolutely held my attention. I immediately went to the web to see when the next episode would air. I wasn't yet able to figure out when, but I will keep checking.

thescookies I'm intrigued! Can't wait to see more! """SPOILER ALERT""""""" I was slightly disappointed about Them being captured so soon. But I'm sure it'll add to the build-up and discovery of the truth about the black smoke. I'm leaning towards a government cover-up about some sort of alien species. It seem to only affect those filed with despair and hopelessness. A.m. curious to find out why she has so far Bern spared. Please continue production! And keep Jonas, I remember this actor from Misfits, love him! I've stated all I had to say about this show. Not sure why there is a ten line minimum. It doesn't take a book to say whether or not you like a show!

Randy Eischer We're introduced to a bad cop who passes out while taking drugs, a pair of drunken twits trying to make out, and finally an interesting character--the daughter of the passed-out cop, who's trying to get ahold of him while talking about the trouble she's going to get in for sneaking out of the house. And then she's killed in the explosion, even before the title comes up.So we have three duds and one compelling character--one reason to keep watching, in other words--and that reason is taken away less than 90 seconds later. So I lost all interest and stopped watching.Is this the first show these folks have ever written, because they did a lousy job of trying to draw me into this one.

brenjamesuk Just wanted to to say to all those reviewers that keep saying things like 'It's ambiguous,' 'It feels like nothing was resolved,' and 'I'm no wiser at the end as to what the explanation was That's because this is a pilot!!! As the director says:"The thing I had envisioned was quite a long story. The movie that I was pitching them was essentially the beginning of the mythology, and with success we would have the opportunity to do more, so television sounded really exciting to me, given how it has evolved over the past several years — the novelization of television. Also, many of the networks are really getting creatively engaged with genre material, which was not always true in the early 2000s and going back."And:"It's really only the beginning of the story, according to Walls. "'Residue' Season 1 is really an extended pilot and should be thought of that way," she said. "Netflix don't necessarily do the Amazon- style pilot season. But 'Residue' is really more in that model where these first three chapters are live before the existence of a full season."So now you can all stop moaning about it and trying to be clever! And get to supporting it so the rest of the story is resolved - with a full series!http://www.indiewire.com/article/how-to-sell-a-TV-show-to-netflix- 20150401
