HBO‘s postapocalyptic road trip drama serves as a reminder that the best shows of this ilk aren’t really about zombies, suspense or even death. They’re about the things human beings are capable of doing to each other when the walls are closing in, and the unexpected love and kindness that sprout from the least likely places, like a world-ravaging pandemic or a video game.
Ellie is precious cargo. A street-smart orphan, she appears to be immune to the disease that turns its victims into “clickers,” rabid undead so named for the noise they make with their mouths. Joel is tasked with transporting her to a group of revolutionaries who hope to use her blood to create a vaccine. It’s a long, hard, unforgiving road that might bring to mind any number of previous works, including “The Road,” “Children of Men,” “Sweet Tooth” and various zombie stories .
