So, I just watched the pilot of Between (thank you @EpicFork!) and so for my overall experience:

Not bad.

And I mean that in a good way, "not bad," not in a bad way. Overall, as I thought when Between was first being introduced, it is an extremely interesting concept that has a chance to go further. I thought that the episode was a little all over the place, and that introductions to characters and plot lines were very blunt, rather than letting the viewer figure them out for themselves. But, as a pilot episode, I understand that they want to make introductions. For the performances, no one really stood out to me as being absolutely incredible (sorry @Moden). Yes, Jennette played the sarcastic and cynical Wiley well (as it is a toned down and darker version of Sam, whether one will admit it or not), and I do give Jennette props for the labor scene, but, as of yet, no performance struck me as, "Wow, I can't wait to see more of them." However, again, I do know that it's just the very first episode, so I would have to watch more to make a fair argument.

It seems clear that it's going to be Jesse's character, Adam, whose going to be the, "hero" of the story, figuring out what happened in the town and all, and getting the girl (Jennette). And again, sorry @Moden and others, but Jesse's performance really didn't stick out to me, it actually seemed somewhat wooden and awkward. Yes, it could be argued, "That's Jesse's character!" but still, even if a character is supposed to be awkward, you put life into it; Jesse's acting seemed wooden to me. But again, Jesse could completely prove me wrong in the coming episodes, we'll see.

What I am looking forward to for the show is really more of what happens when everyone 22 and over is dead, and how the society is going to function. I'm pretty confident that the show will get better with the coming episodes, and I'm pretty confident that the show will be picked up for a second season, as all the McCurdians will be giving it 5-Star reviews on Netflix...

I'd give it  2 1/2-3 stars.
