Revolution hits NBC this fall and so far it looks like the only new show that has a chance of a) surviving and b) satisfying fanboys. Sure, it pales in comparison to anything on cable today but since we’re lowering expectations for the broadcast networks, why not give Revolution a chance.

Brought to you by J.J. Abrams the series follows a group of “survivors” after “the world goes dark”, aka, anything that used to run on power doesn’t work.

Iron Man‘s Jon Favreau directed the pilot.
