I am writing this after watching the first 4 episodes.

I don't understand all the superlative 10/10 reviews I am seeing for this show. To me it felt like just another apocalyptic end of the world zombies show.

I have never played the video game related to this. But Perhaps lot of the people who are writing these 10 /10 ratings are comparing with the video game. But it is crazy that they decided it was excellent after watching the first episode.

The show is based the premise that everyone in the world is infected with some fungal infection which turns them into zombies. The survivors are dealing with the aftermath. The story picks up 20 years after the apocalypse.

I thought Pedro Pascal was good in the show. Otherwise rest of the cast including Bella Ramsey as Ellie was very annoying and not worth the trouble watching.

If you want to watch just another zombie show then go for it, otherwise you can skip it.
