'The Passage' season 1 has gifted us with some of the simplest, but most remarkable women characters ever
With less than a week to go for the epic two-hour long season finale of 'The Passage,' it is not all that hard to conclude that despite its simplistic storytelling, in an age of binge-worthy shows, the Fox series stands apart as a fun thriller to spend a couple of lazy weekends on. But the paced out action and the show's ability to be interesting aren't the only things working extremely well for the show. Especially when it comes to the characters, because while we have our stereotypical brooding, power-hungry men seeking a dangerous future, the women on 'The Passage' are some of the least complex yet most moving characters ever.
The premise of the show is basically your classic dystopian flick plot; a medical trial aimed at finding 'the cure' to all of humanity's diseases goes wrong and ends up turning its subjects into vampires. However, one particular subject - 10-year-old Amy Bellafonte (Saniyya Sidney) is the only one who doesn't bear the side effects of the trial and ends up with telepathic powers instead. So it is now her responsibility to fight back against these 'virals' aka the vampiric monsters who were injected with a bat virus for the trial. But the interesting thing about Amy is that despite her calm and collected exterior, she has braved a lot of storms on her path.
