The characters all suck ass. They didn't go into the actual outbreak at all. There was no build up of anything. IMO there wasn't suppose to be. This was a hit the ground running virus / bacteria ?? That moved so fast nothing could be done. WE came in or were introduced to the story line & characters as the ball was already rolling. During one of the episodes the background (radio or tv) said something had already affected people across 6 / 11 ?? states.
No making you hate or love any characters at all. I get we're supposed to hate the main military guy and he's the worst guy in the series to this point but... is he? Is he really? Who's the protagonist? Who are we supposed to gravitate towards? All of these characters are helpless liberals without a clue. Yes they are. Remember this takes place in L.A using the back drop of the L.A. Public school system as it's center.
So we have l.a. union teachers WHO HAVE THE MENTALITY OR BELIEF THAT the government WOULD HAVE TOLD THEM if something was wrong (STRIKE 1)
The father / boyfriend DOESN'T BELIEVE IN GUNS low and inside (STRIKE 2)
WE are seeing the deterioration of a major urban area, along with the breakdown of society. Combine that with people who have NO SURVIVAL INSTINCTS (outside the former south american .gov interrogator) Believe someone will save the day. THINK the military is there to hep them AND so far refuse to take up arms to prolong their own survival you have what IMO real life would take place (STRIKE 3)
The only people who had their shit together who stood a chance of bringing everyone together are long gone now and it's just a bunch of chickens running around with their heads cut off
You're forgetting the black guy / salesman / con artist being held with the junkie kid. He's not only on the ball. He's about to use the kid as his fall guy to escape. Who will be shot first some junkie or the slick guy throwing him under the bus.
and, to me anyway, I'm just as concerned about their well being. Bad acting. Bad dialog. Bad plot. No budget. This, my friends, is a sucky show.
