The hospital scene/coma idea is a straight steal from 28 Days Later, while the 'got to find my son' quest is a straight steal from Survivors. Even the father/son team he meets is a straight steal from characters in Survivors.
I'll keep watching, but its 'been there done that' territory for UK viewers. Funny seeing Egg doing an American accent though

You are aware that the TV show is based on a comic book written in 2003, and as mentioned it follows the comic quite closely.

But are you aware that 28 Days Later was made in 2002? And Survivors aired first in 1975. Just look it up.
Just look it up.
GrahamB wrote:Not really. Triffids involved a hospital but it was really about him being blind - hospital not part of the plot. 28 days was exactly the same. It was the accident/comma/days later/wake up alone/zombies! that was a bit too blatant for my liking. Wish they'd done something a bit different. Stuck/lost on a boat for 20 days would have been good. Something like that.
