'The Passage' Season 1: Despite elements of horror, Amy and Wolgast's relationship takes the lead as the show's lifeline

Amy being the test subject, and Wolgast being tasked with retrieving her for the medical trial is enough to make them enemies, but what we see instead is a change of heart in both.
UPDATED JAN 15, 2019

In an era where science fiction and supernatural beings are the two biggest sensations when it comes to genres for TV shows and films, Fox's latest series, 'The Passage,' does the remarkable job of mingling the two. Adapted by Liz Heldens from the Justin Cronin novel of the same name, 'The Passage' tells the story of a young orphan getting roped into a dangerous medical trial which ends up turning its subjects into superhuman vampires wreaking havoc, leading to apocalyptic destruction. But all of that aside, there is also one of the most special elements of the show which helps it shine despite the negligible shortcomings, and that happens to be the relationship between the 10-year-old protagonist, Amy, and her rescuer, Brad Wolgast.

The official synopsis of the show describes it as: “The Passage is an epic, character‐driven thriller about a secret government medical facility experimenting with a dangerous virus that could either cure all disease or cause the downfall of the human race. The series focuses on a 10‐year‐old girl named Amy Bellafonte (Saniyya Sidney), who is chosen to be a test subject for this experiment and Brad Wolgast (Gosselaar), the federal agent who becomes her surrogate father as he tries to protect her.”
