This story has been around for a while, so at this point it's difficult NOT comparing it to either the book or the tv mini series. Why did they feel the need to make another version of the exact same thing? Basically it comes down to someone wanting to make a Walking Dead show, but not tie it to one of the 30 existing spin-off series. The original miniseries seemed like the ideal format because the book is pretty long, but I would think that the amount of filler you would have to add to make it 9 episodes would drag the story down-- which it does.
The acting and production aren't bad and the story is a classic, but I feel like it deviates from the source material in order to adhere to some disingenuous corporate agenda hoping to establish a The-Stand-a-Verse or something.
A 7/10 is being generous, it could easily be a 4-5.
