I am not very optimistic but will have to watch.

I haven’t read this since it was first published, but it seems to me like the series is putting a lot more emphasis on the pandemic than the book did, and less on what came after.

I guess that’s understandable, considering our current situation, but still…

I enjoyed the book but even if the TV adaptation is well made I don’t think I’m ready to watch a series about a pandemic-driven civilizational collapse which ultimately culminates in the rise of a misogynist cult figure right now.

considering it’s directed by Hiro Murai, one of the most creative directors in the golden age of television, I’d be optimistic

It’s a trailer - I wouldn’t over interpret it.
But if anyone hasn’t read the book yet, absolutely do so before watching, just in case it does ruin everything. Well worth it.

Huh, I did not find the book very interesting so perhaps I’m more likely to enjoy the series more? I don’t get very intrigued about post-pandemic stories unless we are talking the original Omega Man with Heston.

Not looking good, truthfully. Bummer
