This is based on the graphic novel of the same name. I've never read it, so I can't comment on whether this is an appropriate adaptation.
However, I will say that it is a fun show for the whole family to enjoy. I watched this with my 6 year old nephew, and my girlfriend.
There are monsters, zombies, and an all star cast featuring the voices of Bruce Campbell., Mark Hamill, and Rosario Dawson. There are plenty of references to other movies as well, which is very pleasing to a cinephile like me.
The humor is OK. It plays like a show for kids, which can be annoying at times.
Still, there are worse kids shows out there.

If you're wondering should you watch this with you kid....Easy answer. YES!! Zombie/Monster Apocalypse strikes small town USA, and it's up to a handful of kids (I'm guessing 11-12 years old) to stop them. I'd put the horror on a scale of Scooby Doo or Ben 10 if that helps. I'm only one episode in but my 8 yr old son is absolutely loving it. Movies that work for him have this common theme....kids saving the day doing grown up things like driving cars (remember it's an apocalypse...light traffic), awesome action and animation with the proper amount of jokes (there's a sentence I never thought I'd wright;) Harmless horror/action cartoon perfect for the upcoming Halloween season approaching. Hope this helps.
Now that was a monster slaying, zombie killing apocalypse of fun and loved the animation, the sense of humour and the plot.
I'm never going to grow old for animation because it just gets better every time and makes me feel young again when watching.

I liked the movie as an adult to which the interactive stories format is a novelty, but the kind of horror story sanitized for children vibe really threw me off. There are four kids that are walking cliches who perkily describe themselves as the last kids on Earth after a magical void turned everybody to monsters and zombies. They have fun, they drive a car around monsters or fight them, they die sometimes, but they are always commercial-like happy. It's creepy as hell!
I liked the badge system that kind of lets you know when you finished a particular branch, but there is no way to see how many badges you got or there are still to get, which makes it kind of pointless. I liked the fast-forward system that stops at a decision, but I also disliked that they show an entire scene before letting you choose, so for three choices you have to see the pre-choice scene three times. I liked how they combined the animation scenes in the different flows, although some were a bit off, like failing to get an item, but following with a scene where a kid puts something in the trunk.
Bottom line: a good effort, much more fun than Bandersnatch and more entertaining than Carmen Sandiego. It's still not working as it should, though, as it is hard to feel you are in a story from the moment one reaches the end and has to select from the latest choices backwards, otherwise they lose the choice tree.

The fast paced jump cuts and manic montages reminded me of Edgar Wright's movies so this was a delight to watch. There are plenty of movies and games references around, and small details to notice. The animation is incredible.
Plot and characters are well done cliches, but cliches nonetheless, the whole "crush on a girl that turns to be strong and doesn't need help" thing is kinda passé at this point, but I'll dismiss it as it's the first episode, hopefully they will tone it down eventually, the main character is too endearing to be stuck on this one note joke.
