This show was crap but I watched it anyway like a fool, hoping it would get better. Like every HBO show they used sex and dramatic whispering to fill 8 hours of a predictable story. Make a sexy scene with trauma dumping and close up naked shots. Now establish that the characters have truly found peace. Now kill one of the characters at the end of the episode. Everybody cries because they were so invested in that person, not because it was relevant to the story, just because they watched them trauma dump and have sex. This show barely had any story. They kept hinting at some big infected fight like the games, and it never came, and after a few episodes it's like infected weren't even part of the story. Every other episode is just an emotional build up to kill someone off. Episode 3: Bill and Frank have sex a bunch and then commit suicide because Frank is dying and they can't live without each other. Episode 5: Henry and Sam endure a brutal life as brothers on the run, Sam dies, Henry can't live without Sam and kills himself. Episode 7: Ellie and Riley are young rebellious lovers in the apocalypse, they finally grow comfortable enough to kiss and then a clicker bites them. They decide to die together... (even though Ellie doesn't actually die) Basically if you see somebody having sex or generally having an intimate conversation in an HBO show you can pretty much assume they are going to die soon. Edit: 2 years later, like a fool, i forgot how bad this show is and tried to go back to season 2. Left when she became a dad. I now feel like its not even necessary to explain why this show is bad. Holy crap it is some garbage.

Terrible people arguing with each other for 2 hours, and scenes that make you scream at the TV in frustration. Just sounds like being a little kid again and hearing my friends awful parents argue with each other in the next room. Nothing slightly enjoyable about this film, just a headache for me. No smiles or suspense or really anything besides bitter disappointment. Was under the category of comedy and had Will Ferrel so I was expecting at least a laugh or two, but no, really not much of a comedy besides a few awkward laughable situations.
