The Feel-Good Part

The Disappointing Factor

The violence may be over the top or too non-sensical for some, and it may be appealing to only a niche audience. It doesn’t exactly bring anything new to the table, and with very predictable plot points and situations, it misses the mark.

The characters who are the survivors of this dire situation are up for a challenge where they have to make decisions for their survival and try to not fall prey to the assailants.

They have their adventures as you follow their individual stories, and build rapport and chemistry with other characters. One can look forward to these aspects of the series.
While the story isn’t the most compelling or mysterious, it is nonetheless entertaining and may even be characterized as silly or goofy in parts. If one is not turned off by excessive violence, they may enjoy the various characters, who are the antagonists. and their peculiar and bizarre characteristics.
Star Power
The voiceover artists have done an excellent job in conveying the character’s emotions, and their sincerity.
