Rain is intriguing at first, as who isn't curious about seeing bits of post-apocalyptic Scandanavia. But to me the most satisfying scenarios of this type are when the embattled survivors are fighting back against a physical enemy, as in The Walking Dead. The problem with Rain is that the enemy is a virus whose mutation and method of transmission I could never quite work out. So for me personally, there is not enough hand-to-hand combat or scientific logic in this prog, but on the other hand, there's plenty of frustrated romance: stealing a quick kiss, then "Sorry, gotta go and save the planet." Are scenes like that popular with viewers, or just with directors who seem to use them ad nauseam ?
