We watched the first two episodes, which were dull as dishwater. Then Sal discovered it’s set in the Z Nation universe which would explain a lot as that was a steaming pile of turd too.
Thanks for wasting our time!
That's a shame, Episodes 3 and 4 were where it really started to show its unique spin on things.
My final rating was 7.5/10 so it's not amazing, but I liked that it managed to find its own identity and do something a bit different with the genre.
I still think Episode 4 was particularly clever.

The whole thing is basically a zombie movie in-joke in that the guy makes every mistake possible but just keeps getting away with it and somehow doesn't die. The episode is an extended one-on-one chase scene. And then, right at the end when his luck finally runs out, he is suddenly saved by a far more capable and zombie-smart human survivor, who sustains a bite in the struggle, at which point our protagonist suddenly gets his shit together and quickly, ruthlessly kills the human, knowing that he will shortly turn.
For some reason I really liked that one, it played it straight, but with a knowing wink.
