I've watched the 2 episodes that have thus far been released. The show was highly recommended to me by several people, and my wife was very eager to watch. Therefore, I decided to give it a try. I knew nothing going in, and had no idea it was based on a video game. Can't say that I wasn't disappointed to discover that this is yet another zombie iteration. Nevertheless, the show is well done, and the actors are very good. However, I couldn't help but see the obvious parallels to Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men based an story arc (minus the zombies), cinematography, and direction. I have to assume that the producers of the show and/or video game are huge fans of the Cuaron's bleak, dystopian masterpiece. Whatever the case, give the show a try.
