My family gave up a few episodes ago. I'm trying to ride it out still I really think they blew it. They should have really focused on how it all went down - a slow take on the very early stages would have been a great watch. But they failed at this even in the first season, and then for season 2 they stick everyone on a boat. WTF? Missed opportunity. If I didn't have all day every day with nothing to do, I'd have given it up long ago.

Yeah. The whole purpose (I thought) and appeal of the show was to show the spreading of the outbreak and the immediate chaos. It did that for a few episodes and now we're already into the "most everyone is a zombie, it's kill or be killed with the living" angle. It's just a weaker version of TWD now.

Exactly!

Granted they're on a boat, but we're already at the point where it's just like the original, they're just on the run from zombies and bad guys.

They coulda really dove deep into the first few days/weeks of it all going down but they really just kinda flew by it IMO.

I kinda gave up in that just last night I told my wife to watch Sunday's episode without me. But she didn't get around to it so I have a feeling i'll eventually watch 1 or 2 more. Hopefully they're solid and keep me around for the finale.
