I Survived a Zombie Apocalypse

Horribly misjudged.

Incredibly, it actually combines the worst aspects of different genres: We've got the moronic, boring waffling of Big Brother AND poorly made, low-budget, story-free zombie stuff.

At least actual Big Brother features 'genuine' morons.

While Im putting the boot into this rubbish: the 'army voice-overs' sound like the stilted scripting of a 1990s video game.

Low production values is not necessarily a death-blow but this not only looks like a 3rd year drama project, it is unforgivably dull.

(Imdb want more lines, but I think you get the idea...)

I just finished the second episode, i was going to stop after the first but i thought it might get better...i was wrong.Its like the real world but with lame zombies. they sit around laughing but there's zombies all around them its ridiculous. I'll stick with the walking dead thank you [ i mean no thank you when it comes to I Survived A Zombie Apocalypse] I guess i cant give my opinion unless i write 10 lines of text so here is what else i think is wrong with this lame show! who can't survive 7 days? they have water and so food,but they sit around talking who will eat what food. Come on if it's a life and death situation i'd go hungry, they only have to be there 7 days. the point is try again because the show is lame.

I saw a trailer for the show on BBC Three, and it looked really good, the concept of zombie-reality really stood out to me. But sadly after watching the first episode i was really disappointed, it was like watching Big Brother but with "ZOMBIES". I was about to give up on the show, but I decided to watch the second episode, and it was so much better than the first, the missions kept me on the edge of my seat, the zombies gave me genuine shivers, so in conclusion, i would say that, the 1st episode was a serious let down, but don't judge the show after just one episode, the show improves, it delivers on every level,so ill give it and 08/10.

I have given this programme an 8/10.

It has been a great start of the programme let alone I have only watched the first episode. This programme reminded me of a series called Dead Set. Not only it is a reality show. I liked how there are different types of people within the programme. There is another reason why I couldn't add another two stars because there was too much GCI within the transitions but other than that it looked great. The programme does have a comedy side to it and the programme is not predictable as well, which is good. I am looking forward to the next episode.

This series is end of the world Big Brother. However, I have no idea how the 10 survivors actually made it through the undead because they are totally inept. The conclusion the viewer will draw from watching the first episode is that these people did not survive because of skill, they survived by dumb luck.

Seriously, none of these people had the forethought to make basic weapons, set traps, or even bother to try and fortify their bunker. And instead of putting brain cells toward defending against the deadly horde, they sit around discussing 1st world problems until they are given a task to perform.

Adding salt to the wound, only two out of the ten actors would win a role in a community theater production. Viewers will immediately catch on that the dialogue is all ad-libbed and poorly so. The actors would be booted from an improv class on the first day. (I literally watched long enough to see the worst actor of the group die. I was still left unsatisfied)

The wrap around material (British soldiers doing plot exposition via radio and the unfunny animated zombie survival guide) is idiotic and clunky. The narrator, with his smarmy, flippant comments, really needed to be the first zombie kill. It was as if they had no idea what tone they wanted.

The technical side is where this show goes completely off the rails. Supposedly, the audience is only able to see the survivors via surveillance cameras and drones. However, the filming mainly consists of hand-held shots like a full camera crew was present with the survivors throughout their bland "ordeal". The show also spends and inordinate amount of time time doing zombie glamor shots to pad the episode run time. Also, you can hear their body mics rustle under their clothes frequently.

Even done with an obviously low budget, this was an interesting premise that was poorly thought out and executed worse. This show is truly taking something and making nothing of worth.
