Because there are so many actual great mysteries in life, it seems irresponsible and shortsighted of me to wonder why people watch network dramas. I mean, on some level, I get it. This level: You are tired from all the other really brilliant dramas available to you and, because you have a clock that has more hours on it than anyone else's, time is not an issue. So, exhausted from thinking, from being challenged, from being absorbed in something ambitious, you say to yourself this sentence: "I think I'll watch something predictable and boring with elements of comfort that harken back to that time several decades ago when television was irrelevant and I sought it out to provide me a mild amount of entertainment value while it simultaneously killed time dead."

Salvation is pretty stupid. Even for CBS, it screams "summertime diversion." This is a show about an MIT grad student named Liam (Charlie Rowe) who has created a formula that can predict when a meteor will hit Earth.

So, just to be clear — this is a show about a meteor that is going to hit Earth — unless someone steps up and fixes the situation. That's it. There is no more, really.

Salvation is a summertime network drama that's not asking anything of you but to give up an hour of your time and lose it forever. In return, you get a low-grade familiar sensation that means nothing but dulls your life a little bit. That's your decision to make, not mine.
