If anything they need to do MORE telling in some places, at least as far as the past is concerned.

Definitely. But I think they need to do more showing as well. Part of the reason why the story lacks a sense of urgency is that we don't get to see what we're fighting for. Who lives in the City? What happens if we fail and the perimeter is breached? There has to be some way of showing this, but it never happens.

Yes, Earth is a wasteland, but that happened in the distant past. It's not visceral enough to create a real sense of urgency. We need to see why the Darkness is a threat right now.
