Another gun-centric survivalist series that demonstrates every possible way of blowing or bashing out people's brains with a variety of weapons. At the current rate of attrition most of the cast will be gone by episode 3, which may not be a bad thing...
The first episode was ok . Not the greatest but......ok.
Everyone who didn't like it, I get why, I mean had I not watched any of the walking dead then I would probably had loved it but us zombie fans have been spoiled for the last few years with the brilliant TWD so anything that has any slight similarities will be seen as inferior. If the walking dead didn't exist then we would all think this is great and we would probably forgive the poor cgi but the walking dead does exist so anything else is very much the poor distant cousin.
We've also got the potential TWD spin off going on air in 2015. AMC will be confirming latest developments in next few weeks. 3 zombie shows - the more the better for us fans!

I'll be really interested to see what angle they take with the new TWD spin-off... I get the vibe it'll be just another bunch of survivors wandering across America, but I'd be afraid that would be too much more of the same... time will tell!
Just seen the pilot. Laughable writing, bad acting and terrible effects (but maybe we expect too much from TV these days) but it's somehow likeable in a crappy B movie way.
I don't wish to be pedantic here, because I hate it with my fave shows. Yet this entire episode seemed to revolve around a shortage of fuel. I mean, a country that has multi-million cars, gas stations, abandoned fuel tankers that won't be used because you know Zombies don't drive and won't be using the fuel pumps.
Obviously fuel will become a problem, but possibly about 20 years after a z apocalypse, I'd have thought.

Well pumps in Petrol stations wouldn't work without electricity so unless the station has it's own generator (which I presume the Refinery in this episode did, though it probably would have run dry in three years) all the petrol in the tanks would be useless as you couldn't get to it.
Plus I believe that Petrol "goes off" after a few years so there would probably be no usable fuel left quicker then 20 years.
Can't decide if this is just Bad or so Bad it's almost OK
Might give it one more episode.

Does petrol go off, if so fair enough? Must admit I'm a bit surprised.
Having said all this I should say there is bits of it I find fun, it's hokum, but kind of enjoyable. just think the cast is a bit wooden.
where are you getting this "20 years after the zedapox"?
it's only THREE years!
and i rather enjoyed the first episode, fast paced and had ..... what was it ..... oh yes ORIGINALITY in a well played scenario (the water zombies a perfect example)

Nobody was saying it had been 20 years.
seansnotmyname@ was saying that he didn't think there would be a fuel shortage only three years after the breakdown of civilisation and that it would be more like 20 years before it became a problem.
Probably, but considering its 3 years after the outbreak there were a lot of sprinters last week and none this week
Hey I'm not a big defender of the show, hence my fuel comment, but TBH I think if we're going to carry on watching it, we really need to check logic at the door, it's fun in a way, and I'll carry on watching despite the silliness.

Well it is part made by The Asylum, they have hits like:

I think a freshly farm field full of manure fells better this this show and both are full of s**t, and yes logic and brain at the door to be able to watch this show.
I'm giving it one more ep (though with it being the only thing out on Fri that's probably a lie). I liked the Z-RadioGuy but less so after enduring the 20min drawwwwwwwwn out search for demon-dog. Why couldn't they have made the good-dog a good-puppy ? And as for the rest of the group, meh.
Given up on this already. I could forgive the ropey script, acting and effects if any of the characters were remotely interesting - but they aren't. With all of the new season shows about to start I don't have time in my to watch this in the hope it will get better because I just know it won't.

Definately
I think the rest of the season will be a hoot, not great sfx or acting but a hoot none the less.

Dixn't they say it was only the new zombies that where fast-moving, I could be wrong though.

If they are wise no UK station would touch it.
