Reality Z

First off - this ya not a shot by shot copy of Dead Set. The first five episodes borrow heavily from the original but also adds another story line. The remake characters lacked a bit of punch but nuance is always lost in translation. After episode 5 the whole thing takes a new direction with characters who have much more dimension. As for the similarities in the remake it seemed more like a homage than just a copy - something though to get through to get to Part 2. There is a familiar yet blaring metaphor here about society and it's very apt and very scary. Episodes come in at a quick 25 minutes so a 10 episode binge is realistic.

Yes, the first few episodes are basically the Dead Set plot, but it takes wild turns the last half of episodes. I honestly didn't see the ending coming, at all - the last ten minutes is an absolute wtf. I'm excited for a second season. I hope there is another endless bag of cocaine, it was an odd and hilarious note of apocolyptic humor.

I didn't care for the voice overs and ultimately preferred just the captions.

You'll see an enjoyable story with action, suspense, strong characters and a good slice of refined humor. Worth it!

As soon as I heard old Pink Floyd in E1, I knew I was in it for the long haul.

Brazilian adaptation of "Dead Set" which I have no problem with. Zombies both look and act real so that's always a plus considering all of the cheap looking fakes that often ruin these types of efforts. The lines are definitely funny too. However, the actors are speaking Portuguese, so the version I watched was dubbed which is something I personally hate. I did attempt to switch it over but the English captions didn't always appear when someone was speaking.

Considering I usually rate on the lower side of the scale, while it's not as good as "Dead Set," it's definitely watchable nevertheless.

Dont be stopped by some very negative reviews. Finished the show in a day, never a dull moment. Looking forward for a second season. If you like the walking dead you will sure love this show!
