I found this while looking for zombie content, and it's fairly near. Think of a Contagion type of movie but nobody trusts each other.
Typically in these apocalypse films the characters are so terrible that you kind of want them to fail. Here, they came close, but there is enough humanity and futility lumped together that I actually care about these survivors struggles.
If you like thoughtful, dark, and a bit frustrating character studies of adversity in the context of a pandemic - this show is a worthwhile watch.
