You miss out a lot. There is barely any zombies in the show. It deals mostly with things that would occur between human in the context of apocalypse. Distrust and love, losing a loved one in an instant and the following despair, not giving up and loneliness when no one can afford to care, and revenge and other stuff. It’s mostly a character story, and there are barely action scenes.

I'm just sick of apocalypses, zombie or otherwise.

I like the show but

Is a trope that has been played out. The walking dead (a show I did not like) had a dozen seasons of it.

I felt the same after episode one. That changed by end of episode 2. I too am zombied out, but this show is fantastic.

I'd estimate there's been a total of about 5 minutes of scenes with zombies in the last... 3 episodes?

Don't need the zombie trope. Try Stephen Baxter's "Flood", for a refreshing different one.
