The apocalypse, presented with a Hollywood and progressive sensibility. According to what we’re seeing from Hollywood, the collapse of civilization following a major outbreak wouldn't be terrible. It seems that people who are immune would simply remain in their familiar suburban areas, passing the time until they encounter some friendly neighbors—perhaps even forming relationships and starting families, without any real problems or difficulties. You just never know. There won’t be concerns about roaming packs of hungry dogs, disease-carrying rodents, decaying bodies contaminating water supplies, critical infrastructure failing, nuclear power plants experiencing a situation like Chernobyl, or people resorting to violence in a country where firearms are readily available. So, don't try to escape to the countryside; remain in the city and things will be reasonably fine. "Black Death 2.0" can just go away. If you find this believable, then you might also accept the basic idea behind “Earth Abides.” I haven’t read the book, but I suspect it's more grounded than this ridiculous portrayal. If the screenwriters had taken cues from the bleak and desperate world depicted in the early seasons of "The Walking Dead," the result would have been much stronger. I don’t see any problems with the performances or technical aspects; it’s just that the narrative falls short. Ultimately, the story is so unbelievable that it doesn't hold up, and everything else feels like a consequence. It’s only worth watching if you think "the food chain" comes in pre-portioned containers from the grocery store.
