I love me some post apocalyptic fiction but this show is so full of Malthusian and eco-fascist shit I checked out half way through the most recent episode. Patriarchal shit "humans are the virus" shit I just fucking can't. Fuck whoever wrote what this is based on and fuck whoever decided to turn it into a TV series.
Wait...

...so the protagonist isn't a young college kid doing a geology project on his own out in the middle of nowhere possibly dying of a poisonous snake bite when the plague hits?
That seems like an unecessary change.
the snake bite is still there; but yes, no college roomates and he lives out in the middle of nowhere in an upper middle class house to himself.
