[Chelsea · Rating 2 out of 5]

Truthfully, I just didn’t see the point? None of the characters felt fully realized and there was murder and death just for the sake of it. None of the characters want to listen to each other, and if they’re all trying to survive in a sort of post-apocalypse world, their cooperation with each other would have gotten them killed even earlier. 🤷‍♀️
