I want to give it five stars.... because of the second season, the acting, and the exceptional directing and dialogue.
But, the first season and some of the second, had too many nonsense things that were hard to ignore. Like not closing doors behind yourself... not locking doors, or securing the building you're in first... never thinking to grab ANY kind of weapon.... only two cars working, when there are hundreds of empty cars... killing people over gas, like there's not PLENTY of it available in the empty cars of dead people... or, stupidly watching people die knowing they're about to turn and kill you.... and there's lots more! Again... season 2 was better about it... but... still bad.
But... for me... the great things significantly outweigh the bad. The intensity of some scenes is fantastic... and the camera angles keep you always watching. Definitely worth a binge.... I think if I'd only watched season one... I'd have been disappointed.
