Any post-apocalyptic subject matter, tbh. I agree, the TWD zombies were kind of wooden and had little to no progression built in, but still, the over-the-top melodrama existed.
There is drama, backstories and character development, and then there is long-drawn out dramatic dwelling into a character or characters. We started to see this with the love triangle in S02 with Ellie/Dina/Jessie…ZZZzzzzzzzZZZzzzzz. Guaranteed, if this series continues, they will switch up the love interest over and over, much like TWD and much like a soap opera.
I don’t see this being like The Walking Dead. I’m fairly sure they will only be adapting the story from the games and stopping, unless there’s been some news I’ve missed.
The plot of the games is easily readable online, the story isn’t really about the zombies at all. I did find the second season weaker than the first personally, but still didn’t mind it. There’s a lot of unwarranted hate online for the show, particularly around Bella Ramsey, but the same thing happened when they released part 2 of the game. The voice actor for Abby even received death threats online after the second game released.

Well wouldn’t most other post-apocalyptic settings without as third-party force such as extraterrestrials or zombies be always melodramatic?
