If you read through a majority of the reviews on here it's basically fans of the game who are overly excited to see it made into tv form, and thats not what ratings should be based on. Any show that has an IMDB rating in the 9s should be one of the best shows on TV, if not ever, and this is definitely not that. It's basically the same premise as the The Walking Dead but its a slightly different virus so in general people are still wanting to eat other people. This just shows how enormous the gaming community is and what an impact a large group of people can make on ratings. Is it well done, well acted, well filmed etc? Yes of course. Is it worth of anything about 7/7.5? Definitely not.
