I thought it was good - but nothing spectacular. Seems like another zombie flick with slightly different plot devices and a local flavor (which is why I really wanted to watch in the first place).
Not sure I would give it the unanimous accolades it's getting. But happy to continue watching on and readjust my position.

It may be a minority opinion, but I agree with this. I played the first game back in the day and was never blown away by it like others were. I think it's my inherent aversion/boredom with the zombie genre in the first place. I also know what's happening in the 2nd game and it really doesn't motivate me to play it.
That is one of the reasons why I'm getting my main enjoyment out of this show by location spotting and enjoying the filming around town last year. It's a high production budget show that will be well done and which will bring Calgary and Alberta into a lot of conversations online. I know I won't have a huge emotional connection to the plot or the characters since I didn't with the original game, but that's fine. I have other ways to get enjoyment out of it.
