The Passage (2019)
8/10
Ratings make a second season iffy . . .
13 March 2019
If this show doesn't come back for another season, Saniyya Sidney (who played a throw-away orphaned child intentionally turned into a vampire by a medical research project) deserves to get a show of her own. Her tough, yet vulnerable, performance was the heart and soul of the show. She's a terrific young actress I hope we see a lot more of in the future. She stole every scene she was in by virtue of her talent and screen presence.

As for a second season, episode 10 seemed to do double duty as a season and series finale. As final episodes go, it made a good series ending and if the show doesn't come back, I'm good with it after watching the episode.

Unfortunately, The Passage was aired at a really lousy time and its ratings weren't good. It's chances for renewal are iffy. Fox must not have had much faith in the show to schedule it when it did. In my time zone, it went head to head with The Voice and The Bachelor. Talk about a no-win time slot.

If it's indeed gone after one season, it's bound to come around again on Netflix, Hulu, or Prime. If you missed it when it aired, check it out there. It's a better show than its ratings indicated. IndieWire called it bleak and beautiful. I have to agree with that description.
