Awesome, thanks! I’ll run it past her. I know it has a highly rated storyline so that should help.

I suggested watching it to my wife and she pulled the usual “urgh I hate apocalyptic stuff” and refused but then her friends said it was good and she showed interest. Go figure. Good luck, it’s an awesome show.

I had almost the exact conversation with my wife. I suggested the show to her but she doesn't like gore and extreme violence, which I told her was in the game, but we watched the first episode anyway and now she's hooked.

The game is much worse when it comes to blood and gore imo

The game makes it personal, a TV show isn’t even third person since you’re passive so events that can be quite horrible in the game could be shown from a more distant perspective as they did with the bloater.
