Mom tries to cross zombie-infested Los Angeles to find her daughter. The Walking Dead, except with fast zombies instead of slow zombies, and any plot considerations totally replaced by people shooting each other. I can’t even figure out how everybody got a gun — everybody has one, but I never heard anybody say, “Here, have a gun” or “Hey, I found some guns!” They’re all assault rifles, too. UPDATE: I don’t know if I’m watching a remake or an expanded cut or a new season or whatever, but it’s much better than this original review. Maybe I missed a couple of episodes on the first view? Worst episodes are still like halfway decent walking dead episodes, but some of them are quieter, almost black mirror-style (in terms of mood) vingettes, more realism than a lot of zombie fare, and everybody definitely doesn’t have a gun now. There’s a weird “Lord Of The Flies” type episode that takes place as they try to shelter in a school they thought was abandoned but isn’t; followed by most of an episode of one unarmed guy trying to escape from one zombie and it’s actually really watchable.
