Just as dour as I'd heard. Does a great job building the world by describing its edges instead of explicitly explaining What Happened. The relationship between father and son is dire and desperate in a touching way, but actual characterization felt too infrequent to really sink in. The story itself was also pretty inconsistent, coming and going as it pleased. Its strongest parts were its small conversations and moral quandaries between protagonists, but I was weirdly bored through a lot of the rest of it. Easy to see how it's influenced other post apocalyptic media over the years though.
