      Yeah it’s basically Cormack McCarthy’s The Road adapted into a video game, now with plague, subsequently adapted into a TV show.

      Still enjoy it but it can be really bleak.

        If they had added benny and cono este to this episode I'd have have seriously thought about ending my pointless existence. Im glad my wife doesn't watch it with me.

          Wow. Episode 6 Was some of the best TV ive seen recently.

          And some of the best Post apokalyptic cinema.
          I haven't played the game so I don't know what's going to happen.

            Let's be real, 99.9% of Jackson isn't equipped to survive zombies! Let alone pass closures, Nora's closures, or celebrity bears.

                Aren't you all communists? Or just the district attorneys from Oklahoma?

                  Just finished up season 1 of Tokyo Vice. Mostly enjoyed it, and it's kinda nice having to read some subtitles because it keeps me a bit more focused on the show. It's a decent crime drama that also highlights all of the neon weirdness of Tokyo.

                  (spoilers below)

                  All that said, the fucking show just ends mid-stream. They set up a narrative arc right from the get-go in episode 1, and then they make absolutely no effort to bring any kind of resolution to any of the threads of that arc at the end of the season. Most shows end a season with at least some sort of closure to some of the story lines, leaving just enough hanging to bring people back for season 2. This show closed maybe 20% of the threads, cracked some new ones open in the final episode, and didn't even attempt to bring things back around to the thing they set up in episode 1.

                  It's renewed for season 2, and I guess I'm gonna have to watch that once it comes out, but now I'm kinda leery that this is gonna be one of those shows that just ambles along without ever arriving anywhere.

                    I liked it, also liked Giri/Haji. And also Midnight Diner.

                    I'm fascinated by anything Japan.

                          Currently watching this with my partner and we're only on Episode 4. Episode 3 was one of the best episodes of television I've seen in my lifetime.

                            Yeah. Ep 3 was so good... They took something that could have been a 5 minute throw away in another episode and created something beautiful instead.
