NBC's 'Revolution'. The new Terra Nova?

In case you didn't know, Revolution is a New show coming to NBC. Similarly to Terra Nova, it is also a Post-Apocalyptic show about "starting over" , beginning fifteen years after all technology on the planet mysteriously shuts down. Ironically enough, a family is the central cast, also like Terra Nova. It's about learning how to survive and making a new start when we are thrust back into the dark ages. It's a mystery show of how all technology on earth suddenly shut down all at once and why and who could be behind it. There could be a bigger motive behind it all.

Terra Nova similarities

Starting over after an apocalypse and learning to survive in a new world.

Jungle and woods trekking (cities and towns consumed by plants)

Antagonistic militia, reminding me just a bit of the Sixers

A family is the central focus of the show. Teenagers involved, lol!

It does seem like a spiritual successor to Terra Nova. Makes me wonder if NBC thought they could take a shot at a show like this after Fox dropped the ball with Terra Nova. Only thing missing is the time travel and dinosaurs, .

I'm not implying that is really is inspired by Terra Nova, just that the premise is similar. Family starts over in a new world without technology after the apocalypse and there is a bigger plan, a bigger plot behind everything. It does sound similar doesn't it :). I mean I'm not sure if all technology on earth shutting down is the apocalypse per say since it isn't a result of war or the planet dying, but still, the world is changed.

Anyway, here is the trailer if you haven't seen it yet. I personally will be giving this show a chance. Been looking for a show that was similar to Terra Nova since it was canceled.
