Isn't that an old video game? Was it recently remastered like Oblivion?

It is a video game. It was remastered but not recently. It received a sequel and was adapted into a television series.

This might be pedantic, but the sequel was remastered and was released for Windows in the first week of April 2025.

In the context of the PC versions of the original game, it has been remastered and remade, in that the PC version development started after the release of the original remaster of the console version for PS5, which was itself a remake of the PS4 remastered version of the original PS3 version.

I think the original comparison to Oblivion was fair and accurate.

Never seen it. Not even sure what it's about.

They're much more limited though. Heard of the series, but it's not Must see Thursday because I'm not in an office and know I can pretty much tune in whenever I want.

Ok?

In your particular group yes. I haven't really heard much about it (some, but not much).

This isn't an attack on you - just a further point towards a split world. Something can be huge with one group and barely heard about elsewhere.

Yet another zombie dystopia story? What is the gender ratio of people who watch these type of shows? I assume it must be 90%+ men.

Gender is a social construct, or did you miss that newthink memo.

Did you just assume their gender?

Maybe "it" was referring to sex.

You can just use "they/them" if you don't know their gender. Much less offensive than calling someone an "it" (unless it's something they've specifically requested)

> Yet another zombie dystopia story?

The zombies are just a backdrop, the real story is focused on just two people, and it’s really heavily centred on their relationship and personal choices.

I'm still watching shows from the early 2000

Early 2000s to early 2010s here... I agree with GGP that we have more content than ever, but I don't agree that it's better. There definitely seems to have been a fall off in quality the past 10 years or so. The few good shows nowadays end up standing out even more than they did back then not because they're better but because the average has dropped.
