Also, this needs to be pointed out b/c it's one of The Rain's standout features. The cultural obsession with guns in the US would make such a story told w/o a profusion of guns & bravado impossible to function stateside.pic.twitter.com/TuWflSTSbm

(Sure, my own internal imagery of post-apoc tales is also full of guns & bravado, but that's precisely b/c it was primarily based on American fiction. But as Fallout 4 proved, that can only work for so long.)
