Age of the Living Dead

I couldn't even finish one episode. It was sooooo bad.

I think 4 is a fair reflection of the series. I like the concept but I must say whoever did the casting has managed to do what a lot of shows cannot, they filled the show with poor actors. Not one or two mi d but every character I have seen on there has been awkward, stilted with the acting ability of a first year drama class. That said it's not unwatchable but you need to really want to know what happens and so far I really don't care.

Yes, really. I've heard this take on other shows before, and I've always wondered what they were talking about. The show was always either just plain bad, or it was obviously intended to be 'bad' (as with satire) which meant it really was good, given it was achieving its purpose.

Age of the Living Dead is bad. No question about it. The actors, writers, directors, etc. all intended to make something good, but it sucks bad, especially the writing. It's "what the ... are they DOING?" all the way through.

Yet it was enjoyable. Not in a laugh out loud way, although I did laugh a few times, but in a regular amused groaning at each absurd character behavior kind of way.

The acting is enough to fill your existence with regret and right from the first couple of minutes, you know you ought to cut it short. First episode, first actor waking up in a military camp situation... his clothes are lacerated but they're squeaky clean and ironed, he's feeling himself. Next scene features a poor girl wandering New Mexico's countryside... you tell me how she's been walking for hours under a scorching sun but her hair remains impeccable, the dirt on her face is blurry in the right spots and contours her face to a T, her 'old' makeup hasn't budged... I guess that's what it must be like to be the survivor kind.

Seriously bad dialogue with really bad acting.

Save yourself the trouble and go and watch paint dry instead.
