A grumpy man works really hard to take a young back talking girl to Denver because she might hold the key to curing the fungus that took over the world. The 'zombies' are scary, but most other people are worse.

I enjoyed this show far more than I thought I would - given that I have never played the game and am generally not a horror genre fan. However, what I enjoyed most was figuring which scenes were shot in the places I frequent in my home-city of Calgary.

Those who don't care for the horror genre may be pleasantly surprised by how much they enjoy this show. The biggest draw are the fleshed out characters and the ways they react to each other and the world they explore. It is truly a character-driven story with jump scares being few and far in between. That being said, there are some truly unsettling and downright depressing episodes with scenes that are difficult to watch.

It is a good series, but I am concerned that future seasons (if it continues) could easily fall flat in comparison.
