The wife heads out into the bad area and within a short walk she's seeing dead people shot but apparently they didn't know this? I'm sorry but putting myself in their shoes knowing that infected people were almost unkillable, biting, bloody messes running around in my town and the military setup camp in my neighborhood, I'd be trying to find out what's going on (without being obnoxious).
That is why this show is not good. You don't need boneheads to make the show good. They could have covered this with minimal budget. The writers are just not good enough to cover these topics in detail. That worked fine when you could ignore details in The Walking Dead but now that they are covering the actual start of the disaster and you have to answer questions they just aren't up to the task.
I would have gone a totally different route and kept it in the characters perspective.
I think they did just fine right up to this episode. I would started this episode with the military claiming martial law and sending people home who were trying to escape. I still would have had radio and other forms of communication up telling people they can't leave their homes without the possibility of arrest. I would have taken it to the area of our characters trying to avoid the military and now the continued growth of the undead. You do your stupid personal stories but this episode should have ended with the loss of all communications to complete silence except the gun shots and screaming going on all over the city.
