I haven't played the game this is based on, so I'm basing this on the first two episodes and I will update the review after the first season is complete.

The pilot episode has a big time jump and we never get really invested in the main characters for this season, but it does set up the situation and explain the world we find ourselves in. As a stand alone story I'd say it's less compelling than The Walking Dead but it isn't bad.

Episode 2 picks up the pace and gets us invested in the characters. Here we get to see the fantastic scenography and very impressive monsters. The story moves along briskly. All in all it's a great television episode.

If they can keep up the story development and pace from episode 2 this will be a great first season.
