It got a little better as it went on though. Last episode was probably the best, started to get a bit interesting. We'll see next season how good or bad it is since they have a full 12 or 16 episodes.
I think the writers dropped the ball a little bit. Ok so this group of people is just your ordinary every day people right? Exactly like the walking dead. They could have gone a different angle and had the show from a completely different view like inside the government, like someone really high up on the command in the defense could be your lead character, something like that to give us an inside look on how things collapsed within the military. Lots more to cover without feeling redundant from the original show.
