Still

The Weeping Angels, the silent assassins from Doctor Who. They are statues that are locked in as long as someone is looking at them, once you blink or turn away they move toward you. They don't kill you per se, they send you back in time, as if you never existed, and they suck your energy at the same time.

Basically STILL has taken the idea of The Weeping Angels and made it into a zombie series of a sort. While not a bad idea, I would love to see something truly original come out of American shows. As time goes on, America shows tend to be derivative and unimaginative. With little effort. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a bad show, it's just frustrating to watch as the original idea is not that original.

I watched this more than a year ago, and it's stuck with me.

1. Zombies, of a sort. They never move while you're looking at them (hence STILL). They move a lot while not being watched. If they touch you, you join their ranks.

2. Sandwiches. Normal sandwiches, shot as if they were the focus of some sort of erotic kink.

3. The radio broadcasts, utterly clueless to what is going on.

4. Society disintegrating as more and more people become Still, and some of the side effects.

5. Some people figuring out the rules that the Still must follow.

The camera moving away from one of the Still was always a bad sign. Nothing was particularly terrifying, but the mood of the series really pulled me in. And it's stayed with me.
