Generation Z

Channel 4 clearly will just do anything for a Ben Wheatley commission. Not only that, but what a cast he's managed to assemble.

Don't be fooled by the Big name writer/director or the assembled usually pretty great cast, this site is absolute tripe.

It looks cheap. It feels cheaper. There isn't a single character that you could give a toss about. The script chops and changes so frequently and incorrectly as to give whiplash, and each time it does so you get an accompanying 'place name, X no miles away from the chemical spillage' typewriter effect on the screen. This happens at least 10 times in the first five minutes. It's very very annoying.

The cast have nothing to do. There's no fun in it (admittedly I only watched the first episode, I couldn't bare to watch another second) which is the really shocking thing.

It's not fun. It's not scary. It didn't have anything new to say. It's just absolutely terrible.

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.

When first saw add for this thought was going to be really good and fun and so close to Halloween thought hell yeah.

So can imagine my dissapointment (maybe) when saw this, comedy horror.? Nope not at all was no larfs in this horror was OK but the writing the poor poor writing was just that poor and extremely predictable and the DEI in this made me groan and roll eye's thinking yeah of course it is. But on bright side if can call it that the acting is ok and special effects decant but honestly and sadly that's about it.

This could of been great and so good but nope it wasn't what a waist 'sigh' may of been over generous with rating at best was ok.

P.s. Reaching this word count is a pain and 600 odd words dame.

I will seriously disappointed with the show. It has a lot of famous British TV actors or actresses in it.

The TV show is like a cheap knock off of George Romero's 70's and 80's horror films. The acting is far below standard. The storyline, is something from 40 years ago and poorly constructed.

I know it has different finances to The Walking Dead, but it shows. I'd rather watch the original Night of the living dead movies, over this pile of poop

I gave up on this TV show after a few episodes. The whole plot of it was just stupid. I'm still kind of speechless now at what I've seen. I don't even understand how Channel four, thought 'wow this is a great show, let's air it'.

Truth be told, if I had to wait on this show in any capacity, whether write, actor, director or producer, I would be ashamed and be keeping it off my IMDb.

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.
