My thanks to u/PetyrDayne for posting an article about this show a couple of weeks ago. I was lucky enough to find it on ebay soon after and it really is a fantastic show, admittedly not Dostoyevsky, but fun as hell.
I have no idea how I missed it, I absolutely love Grindhouse and 70s exploitation media and this is a deeply loving homage to both. Every stranger is dangerous, there is gratuitous nudity and gore, everyone can fight like demons, the fast cars that run on blood, and an (post?)apocalyptic setting - this show has nearly everything I love. If it was set in space, I’d probably die from joy.
Alan Ritchson plays his part of the sheltered city dweller perfectly and Cristina Ochoa is wonderful as the hard-arse bombshell with a heart of gold, but my favorite is the actor that plays Aki - she is fantastic, creepy as buggery and so very, very threatening.
When I think about it, it is probably good that I found out about this show after it had ended, I wouldn’t be happy to hear about its cancellation in real time.
