Has anyone else been watching this?


Whenever I go to download the latest ep all I see are comments saying how appallingly shite this series is and how it'll never match up to The Walking Dead.

Honestly, TWD bored the aresholes outa me, I struggled to the end of 'the farm' season then made it half way through the one with the low-budget Liam Neeson badguy... but man oh man, that show takes zombies and turns it into something that looks like it's always been dead.

Z Nation, for me, is the perfect antidote. Sure it's trashy, the acting wavers here n there, but it's full of what I want. Endless brutal zombie deaths, totally self-aware, hardly any dull n pointless conversations about 'the group' and who's gonna lead. It's just fast paced adrenaline with its tongue firmly in its cheek. The cast are like something out of a video game... The dodgy pharmacologist, the sniper, the spec ops dude... The storyline's have been willing to tread uncomfortable threads too. No spoilers as it's something you wanna go into blind.

I'm not sure if it's campy because it's cheap, or if it's intended to be funny... But this is pure baked material, that's had me devouring it like thin based, double pepperoni pizza.

I give it a solid 8/10.

Season one's just over half way through, and I can't recommend it enough... Especially to anyone who got bored outa watching Walking Dead.

Haven't yet, I like to let first seasons finish before testing a show... But TWD... I agree, fucking boring. Its like were going into season 14 of a show, and the story still hasn't progressed to 'Chapter 2'

Why is it 60% bullshit drama, 40% zombie slaughter scenes, and 0% story? How the HELL does TWD get 5 seasons, and Terra Nova didn't get 2!? We couldn't even get SyFy to pick it up ffs! We get shows like sharknado.... but no real talented writers are left in Hollywood, and when one shows up, they boot them out fast.

SyFy (SciFi) you can always depend on... it is either going to be a really good (but low budget) film.... or a TERRIBLE monstrosity of stupidity, that is SO bad... its fun(ny) to watch....

I could agree with you on the movies 9.9/10 times. But Z nation is kind of a funny and less Im rick and im a badass zombie show.
Its references too drugs alone are funny the doc and 10k are my boys! Have too admit the last episode sucked ass and was a total space filler lol.

Z nation is a lot of fun IMO. Doesn't take itself too seriously, but manages to be entertaining on a few levels. It's a little bit comedy, a little bit drama, a lot of action. I like it.
