Episode 4 - 5
Just finished these two episodes this morning.
Season is proceeding good in my opinion. Like I stated early, it’s gonna be a slow burn series.
With these episodes on how they are playing out, the main theme is about the characters and how life in this world is affecting them.
The infected are just there in the background. This is not gonna be a series with each episode overloaded with wall-to-wall action of the characters killing infected. If you want that, go play the game.
I love the CGI being used showing the devastation of this world. I liked how they showed a Love’s Truck Stop and a FedEx Freight facility being I frequent those places as a OTR driver.
My future ex-wife Melanie Lynsky made her debut in these episodes. Her character was shown as we saw mainly being focused on her emotional attachment to losing her brother, instead of focusing on proceeding in making life better for folks in Kansas City. Which led to her and the whole cities downfall.
The two brothers was interesting. The older brother dealing with the guilt of what he did, that emotional stress and trying to care for his little brother eventually led to his downfall.
Episode 5 bringing in the infected for that big battle played out well with that swarm of infected pouring out like cockroaches.
Gonna let a couple of episodes stack up again before watching.
