It may or may not follow the game, not being a gamer, I don't know, nor do I care. But, it does provide a reasonably accurate portrayal of what it would be like living in a world turned upside down by a pandemic. It's realistic because some of our politicians during the covid pandemic acted like they wanted such a scenario. But the action is very good and measured, the dialog is fine, when you consider the characters are just average people. Some people didn't get the isolated episodes, but it's clear the show is setting up for a long run so it can afford to be methodical in how it is presented. If you really want non-stop action, there are plenty of short, self-contained movies gear for you.
