This all sounds like a good premise for a show but so far I'm NOT hooked. The characters dont have any depth. Even though the parents (Anne Heche and James Tupper) are an IRL couple, I dont see much chemistry between them. Likewise, Karen acts all hysterical when daughter Brianna is whisked away by a flying demon... but I just dont feel it. Yes, I know she's an ex Air Force pilot and is tough...but still not buying it.
Next they travel to a quarantine zone in Yakima and hope that Brianna (if she's still alive) has done the same. That turns out to be not such a hot idea when meteorites ran down and wipe out most of the people. Luckily Brianna has escaped her demon (he was impaled on a tree branch) and headed for the same locale. She hides under a bus during the flaming meteorite shower and manages to live. So far she seems like the smartest person in the Copeland clan.
I'm not sure what "Aftermath" is trying to be? Is a drama or a comedy or something else? The acting is too poor to be a drama. The show is too dry to be a comedy. It's stuck in the "meh" middle. Hopefully they'll decide what they are and act accordingly. Right now there's nothing intriguing enough about "Aftermath" to keep me coming back for more.
