I was very impressed by this premiere. The pacing and overall tone were excellent. Its so easy to get into cheese territory with this type of setting and story, but they seem to be trying to make it "realistic" instead of an over the top gory zombie action cliche. I really liked it. I thought the part where he wakes up in the hospital was brilliant.
