Oh, it is definitely more relevant to us (and I enjoy both of the series, plus "The Strain" on FX). To me, the exact scenarios are just sci-fi, they can't happen. However, all of these series could be grouped under the category of "The Walking EBT-less." Suffice it to say that I watch for the plots, the special effects, and to learn how to avoid making various stupid tactical/strategic mistakes.
Yes. I do as well.
