Generation Z

The first episode was ok and we thought perhaps it's building to something. Unfortunately it doesn't.

The story just gets worse, some of the acting is awful and it's such a shame as the talent available on screen are some of Britains finest, Sue Johnston, Robert Lindsay, Michael Smiley to name a few are all incredible when they have the material to work with. However they're given such unbelievable scripts that it's laughable.

This could have been a great British tv series but it just feels like they creators were given a day to write it, a day to film it and a day to put it together. Shame.

An army truck crashes with a tank of zombie juice crashes - seen that before, ticket updates, seen that before,, boring- seen that before, Just because you put Z or Zombie in the title does not make it interesting of good. That died with Romero and Shaun of the dead! We do not need 6 episodes of this tat. Such a waste of everyone's time to even give this rubbish a bit of time.

Go and watch Danny Boyles 28 Days films if you want a zombie film rather than this loaded full of adverts piece of junk. ITV at its worst, no original ideas and just stealing from the pioneers of the genre who should be ashamed.

Went in blind to this show as I saw it on Channel 4s streaming service. Looked like fun and it has a first rate cast of top actors. The first episode sets things up nicely and since it is a short series I decided to give it a watch. I thought, unlike some reviews, the acting was pretty good but that comes with a caveat. The story line is ludicrious which is should be a a zombie series, but its neither serious enough or funny enough to be fully entertaining. By halfway through the series I was getting restless, storylines were unravelling and characters seemed to suddenly change attitudes for no reason. I stuck with it to the end, so you don't have to. It get 4 because of the start, its a 2 by the end.

Been looking forwards to this since it was announced and after the first episode I was ready to chuck in the towel. The acting was weirdly over the top, the effects were from Poundland, the script was awful and the constant graphics of the current location were really annoying. However I decided to at least watch episode 2 to give it a chance and it got so much better. The character of Flynn and her relationship with Morgan and Steff really saves the show and this is where the comedy occurs. So far we have made it to episode 4 and will carry on watching. It does have its flaws and the first episode is truly awful but if you can make it through that I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Not what I was expecting but so glad it improved.

Edit- now have watched it all and the last 2 episodes were actually quite fun and bonkers. Is the show any good? No, it's awful Would I ever watch it again? No, it's awful Why did I watch all the episodes? No idea, it's awful.

Is it so awful that's it's good? I think so, but definitely not intentionally. Hence I have changed my review from a 7 to a 6.

With all of the horror writing and production talent in the UK I would think Channel 4 could have come up with something interesting - reasonably interesting at least.

But this is one of the most boring 'horror' TV series I have ever seen. It is the standard 'zombie' story - but tedious - so tedious I was glad when it was over.

The only thing that makes it anywhere near more watchable than a washing machine are the talented actors - who seem to be trying to do the best they can with very little to work with. After all they can only work with the story and direction they are given.

Really - don't waste your time with this nonsense.
