What I don’t like about it: formulaic, padded, poorly written, often looks bad
Review:
Ella Purnell plays a guileless sheltered liberal who explores the wasteland, chasing a series of macguffins and running into Walton Goggins as a hardened cowboy zombie. It’s entertaining enough but twice as edgy and half as satirical as it should be, full of stock dialogue and stretched-out scenes of violence. The animation and soundtrack are both inconsistent, often falling flat.
Content notes (may contain spoilers): violence, gore, brief obligatory sex scene in the pilot
