Survivors in Australia

According to Australian TV Blog TV Tonight, Survivors Series 1 is scheduled to begin airing on Australia's Channel 9 from 9:30pm Sunday March 21st 2010.

The blog says:

As a TV drama it works rather well, narrowing in on ordinary heroes to compensate for the fact it doesn’t trade in big screen effects. It’s also refreshing to see a female protagonist in Julie Graham, while the usually charming Max Beesley turns bad boy as a criminal who breaks free from a crumbling prison.

At least in the hands of the Brits the story doesn’t yet descend into earnestness, even if it does require the suspension of disbelief. Hopefully it keeps it up in coming episodes.
