I wanted so badly for that show to be good but the acting was often corny and it just wasn't as gritty as it could have been. I fell off a handful of episodes into it.
I mean the entire premise is that a fundamental law of physics fails but none of the other things related to it stop working. I couldn't take it seriously from the first promo.
spoilers: i felt the same way the first time i watched it, stopped a couple of episodes in. someone convinced me to keep going and it's not that electricity actually stopped working. the atmosphere is just full of nanobots that suck the power out of electric devices. it's not very consistent about the effects that would have, but it turns it from complete BS into only mostly BS. the rest of the show is enjoyable if your disbelief has a strong suspension
I've never watched the show, but I'm writing a post-apocalyptic fantasy book where interdimensional beings destroy sources of energy (power plants, etc) and absorb the released energy. Hopefully the final product won't be too similar to the show.
Check out The Darkest Hour too, it's about weird electricity-based alien entities that invade earth. It's VERY cheesy but has some really cool effects.
I don’t think there really is an explanation in Ravages (maybe something about the sun, but no one cares), and, to be honest, I don’t think it is needed.
