Particularly zombie apocalypse, but also more generally as well. Many seem to be about post-apocalypse, but the chaos and confusion at the beginning seems like such a fruitful idea. Yet that’s so rarely done/done well as far as I know for zombie movie/shows, except for shows like Dead Set UK. Is it because of the budget, or that such shows/movies cannot be milked forever like TWD?
By “this”, do you mean the lack of media about the transition? So “The Stand” is just a rare example for books?
I love close examination of that transition, it’s usually anxiety inducing, ethic-questioning, rule-breaking that is really great to see. When the dust settles post-apocalypse, these things seem to be taken for granted.
