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?
I thought The Leftovers did a good job with this. The premise is that one day 2% of the world’s population just vanishes with no explanation which is not devastating to the population, but the world sort of gradually collapses under the psychological weirdness of the whole thing.
