Cool, I will rent it then, or watch on the Kindle or something. If you've read The Road, and can take more like that, try reading The Dog Stars by Peter Heller. It seems obvious he read The Road. He also uses a very minimalist style of writing. He injects some slight bits of humor here and there, but it is also mostly dark. I liked it a little bit more than The Road, but I'm not saying it's a better piece of work. I haven't seen plans for it to be a movie though.
There is nothing on TV I am looking more forward to than the next (last probably?) season of SOA. I think the unraveling will be completed, and spectacular.
