Because this seems like a paint by numbers zombie show. Tortured protagonist w/ a young ward who holds the key to a 'cure' that he has to protect and guide to...wherever. And along the way he'll encounter sorta episodic 'hazards' that make the job seem far more complicated than it appeared at first glance...
So we just sit back for 10 episodes and wait for the twist that yields a second season.
Rinse/repeat.
Don't get me wrong, these are a couple of great actors and the visuals seem like they're going to be excellent. But this strikes me as a path VERY heavily traveled to this point so I guess I'm just a little perplexed by why this should be seen as a world apart from what we've seen before.

It's strange to say, but I don't think the show is going to raise to the heights of the game. The pseudo Josh Brolin (Joel) and Ellen Page (Ellie) from the games are just better realized and have better chemistry than what I've seen from the show thus far. No shade on Pedro.
