One of the same writers from The Leftovers worked on this show. Weird timing to release this type of showbut the first episode is really damn good.

Kind of the idea of what if theres a global pandemic where the flu spreads instantly and wipes out most of mankind. Slightly terrifying.

really? Oh fuck. I cant imagine being in that cast and crew and seeing the pandemic unfold after shooting that first episode :O

the first episode is basically the start of a more severe pandemic. Its freaky af knowing that this first episode was shot before covid. Jesus.

They don't.

That's not a spoiler, as that isn't a plot point of the book or anything

It was a good read. Just kind of learning about the life of these separate groups of people, somehow connected, living life in this new world. You get parts about their life pre pandemic as well. Nothing too heavily plot driven, just slice of life kinda.

Was a good audiobook to listen to while jogging

ya the tv show cuts between time in a really interesting way. Switches between right at the start of the pandemic, 2-3 years after, and 20 years. Is kinda tricky to follow at first
