I hesitated to watch this series because I'm generally not a fan of video game based productions and a bit tired of the apocalyptic zombie genre. Nevertheless, I decided to watch it after hearing positive feedback. I think it was well written and very well acted, but suffered from serious bloat. This would have been an outstanding series if it had been edited down to six episodes. There were several episodes that added little, if anything, to the narrative and could have been addressed instead by way of flashbacks or shorter scenes. In terms of acting, Pedro conveyed sincere emotion and can express volumes with his eyes. Bella's character excelled at being obnoxious while at the same time eluding sympathy and concern. She is a gifted young actress. I would recommend the show with the proviso that you may need sit through some drawn out and somewhat superfluous scenes (and episodes).
