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.
