Want to be irritated by every dialogue and decision of every character of a tv series? Watch this.
There's a armed gang of rapist pillagers after you? Might as well waste hours shoving everything from the house into your cars, might as well have family discussions in the middle of the road, might as well take the main road instead of a shortcut, might as well walk around slowly with hands in your pockets when one of the cars breaks down because you got the wrong fuel and instead of shoving the passengers in the other vehicles and move fast, you prefer to dialogue.
The walking irritables manage to be as obnoxious as they can possibly be in their decisions and unidimensionality. The ex wife manages to tick every box of unstable mess of a human being and by episode 2 we already know who is going to trigger the plot knots.
These people also manage in 8 episodes to run into almost every danger imaginable. Feels like a videogame where we go from boss to boss, one worst tham the other. The first episode was great until the armed gang appeared. There was this regular people perspective of a terrible pandemic, but towards the end it turns into another regular apocalyptic action series.
This series has potential, I just hope they're able to dose things up better for season 2. There's no need to throw every card on table at once.
