Zoo

Still don't understand why this show didn't get so popular. Really underrated show. I literally binge watched this show whole week.. Maybe some of the CG works were little bit awkward.. and the story became strange.. but it was not that bad. The concept and the storyline of this show were pretty amazing. It was like watching the zombie version of animals. For the record, i'm still waiting for the next season. For those of you still didn't watch on netflix, i definitely recommend you to watch this show right now.

Is the premise of Zoo over-the-top? Yes! Of course. It's supposed to be. Around the world, animals are attacking humans. Judging the story within the premise, it holds together. In fact, there are some amazing production values here and some genuine opportunities for thrills and chills. The animal action is nothing short of amazing. Diane from London suggests (James Patterson hired unimaginative and untalented hacks to write Zoo. pays are unimaginative and untalented. "Ridiculous plot, bad writing, absurd action, and silly all around," she says. "Not one character in this trash behaves as if they were remotely familiar with Africa, animals, or common sense." I disagree. Again, within the context of the story, most of the action is plausible and the characters likable and believable. Frankly, her analysis says more about her than about the show. Such venom and hatred directed at Patterson suggests to me a sad, bitter person with a personal ax to grind. Just as with any program, be it the X-Files or NCIS or Games of Thrones must be judged within the context of its own framework. Zoo is not an Alex Cross thriller. That doesn't make it trash; it simply makes it a different kind of story.

Do not come to this show with high sci-fi expectations. Come to watch the writers have fun with the concepts. This is not intelligent sci-fi, or deep drama, it's silly, somewhat macabre, fun, with very occasional character moments. It gets dumber as it goes on, but manages to stay entertaining, to me at least.

Some actors are great, some are just decent.

Right, there are some flaws within the story. The script at some parts is cheesy and unnatural. And there could have been more depth to the characters for sure. And the score is mediorcre at best. Last but not least, it's a shame, that the show didn't get the proper finale it would have deserved.

Even though the message is most important:

Unless humans don't recognise their cruelty towards animals and life in general, it's not even worth to think about giving this series less than 8 stars.

The premise itself simply deserves a 10.

I'm just sad, I found this one so late and that it was cancelled.

We are experiencing a New Golden Age of Television. But, relax, "Zoo" is not part of that renaissance… you will not be vexed by conflicted characters, charged with remembering convoluted back-stories, or tortured by the moral ambiguity of the main plot. Consider "Zoo" an absolution, a get out of high-minded television free card. In other words, bring a bowl of popcorn or a package of Twizzlers: this is "B" television at its best: nature gone wild on a global stage (without much gore, thus far), attractive actors, plot holes big enough to swallow a rampaging giraffe, and just enough suspense to bring you back. Having come to "Zoo" without any expectations, I'm giving this high marks for being just entertaining. I imagine it will tell its tale and disappear from our memories like those Saturday afternoon serials of long ago – in that regard, it will be very successful.
