First let me say that I know nothing about the video game that this is supposed to be taken from. What I can say from watching the first episode is that it appears that this series and I guess the game is that it emulates, is that it is a "rip off" of The Walking Dead. As an avid watcher of that series from the very beginning I cannot be impressed with this. While The Walking Dead lost its way in the later years, the take off from the graphic novels was genius. This series appears to be directed towards those people who either missed watching TWD or were too young to watch. The only good comment I can make is that The Last of Us gives a cause for the "infection." I think I'll log on to Paramount+ for a dose of the good old days.
