There were a few things was dissapointed with in the run up to the show, it was overhyped as being great, and the casting seemed just to keep HBO favourites on the book in some cases rather than look for the best to fit a roll.

We watched as the story was altered, the overplay of the frank and bill episode(especially the deaths) who were minor game characters that some forgot, and the lack of clickers, bloaters etc as the journey was far less eventful than the game ever was. It just felt it was trying to hard to win the approval of modern audience when ignoring features of the game.

What it made up for was keeping to most of the story, the great scenery of what happend to society, bt it lacked the spores, the monsters, the horror and tension. It was too soft. As if scared to frighten the audience. It was just another failure of a game adaption to me.
