Zombiverso

Casts made it a cheap reality show. If they were to truly face zombie apocalypse, they won't even survive for an hour. From the first episode, they all were wasting energies running and screaming while accomplishing simple quests. They'd have die of exhaustion from all those running and screaming around in real situation, if not from zombie bites. That's not how you survive an apocalypse. If the show was really unscripted, then I'll have to say they are the dumbest surviver ever with lowest iq. It was really frustrating to continue watching.

I'm giving it 2 stars because there were some rarely funny moments I enjoyed. But overall it'll feel like waste of time.

People need to understand that "unscripted" doesn't mean that the cast knows nothing. Obviously they do know that they're in a reality show and what they need to do to survive, otherwise they would harm the zombie-actors. But their reactions and characters seemed genuine to me. I found it really funny and interesting. It is a reality show, so you don't have to question their actions, it's not a movie nor a series. Some people didn't like the fact that the cast laughed and seemed to enjoy it, but I really liked that, because it made it more genuine for me. I think that it was really entertaining and I would like to see another season with different cast!

A few episodes in, and i like this somewhat improvised reality show. From their reactions, etc., it seemed to me the contestants were told they'd start out being on a reality dating-type show but that "something" would happen and they would then be on their own.

I can't imagine that this is any more than minimally scripted, because the producers obviously spent a lot of time setting up the various locations and situations, and it doesn't make any sense that they would do that for people who are just reading lines. From their reactions as the dating show starts to go sideways they seemed genuinely taken by surprise.

The "something" turns out to be a zombie apocalypse, which they are supposed to somehow survive. They travel around together to complete various escape-related tasks (and try to avoid being taken out by the zombies). You can also tell the zombies are really into the concept.

For imported shows like this, i much prefer the original audio accompanied by subtitles. The voiceover is kind of bland, and doesn't really match what was very likely more honest reactions to what's going on. Would recommend for fans of reality (and, sure, zombie stuff too)

Some fun moments and ideas here and there but overall its just pretty bad and annoying.

The Bad: -Some actors cannot decide if they are in a zombie apocalypse or in a reality-tv show. (half-assed acting comes of as bad and annoying) -Absolutely horrible acting with annoying fake crying by some of the cast.

-Being loud all the time when its supposed to be a zombie apocalypse takes away any small amount of immersion you might be lucky to find.

The Good: -Some of them are not trying so hard to act and it comes of much more fun and enjoyable.

-Some of them are actually good at acting.

Not recommended even for the diehard zombie fans.

At first I thought this will be a horror series. Like a proper fictional story where there is a zombie outbreak but it is already been tamed (much like the end of shaun of the dead) and these characters join this game show where the have to do challenges while also escaping the zombies (basically squid game but with zombies). And it'll be shot much like we are watching a reality show.

But alas, the show is basically just role play.

Knowing these people are actually safe made it hard to believe in it. As well as them unable to truly hurt the zombies (since they are just real people), makes the whole thing kinda stupid (not that I endorsed violence but it is like watching people do tag and run but with zombies).

Dex is the star of the show for sure, but it also made the others looked incompetent by a lot.
