Review: (#1) While it doesn’t appear that the producers wanted to ultimately go this route, it remains the most inventive and visually interesting of all of the designs. (#2) This is the best of the rest, a not particularly enthralling design that uses the fire motif in the most appealing and least corny or haphazard way. (#3-#5) There’s not a lot of variance between design 2 and the remaining three, each focusing on different ways to differentiate themselves, including different fonts and backgrounds, none of which seem to improve on the prior.

Review: As far as apocalyptic dramas go, this one doesn’t quite set what’s actually happening that will destroy all of Australia, but it does seem clear that it may be localized. There’s some standard survivalist drama here, which doesn’t make it seem that exciting, but appearances can sometimes be deceiving.
