It starts out incredibly well, especially the first 2 episodes and falls off after that.....The 3rd episode seems pushed to cater to a "Narrative" that is over pushed these days. That episode almost is pure fill in of that Narrative......Hence I would speculate why there is a plethora of 10 ratings for this series......Picks up steam for the next 4 episodes, once again, seems rushed on the last episode or I would have rated this series a 7 or 8. I had never played the video-game so that was not a consideration for me. The scenes with the infected were very good but not overused as the main theme here, its more of a cause of the sideshow of the apocalypse. The post Apocalyptic world and Cinematography were excellent probably the best part of the show......
