Reality Z

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.

I'm a fan of zombie movies, I've to say I was a kind of sceptic about this one, even more because I never watched a brazilian movie before and also after seeing some negative reviews, but I have to say I enjoyed it, the production, actors and make-up are pretty good. The plot won't blow your mind away, it is more a kind of A-B-C zombie movie, but it is pretty decent to watch. What I liked most is that it was very unpredictable, and I mean VERY unpredictable. Good for Brazilian productions, it was a good starting. I can't wait to watch the season 2. Congrats.

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.

Why some people are trying to take a zombie comedy serious? The first 5 episodes are an official Dead Seat remake but the other 5 are original script adding a new path for the series.

Don't listen to the others saying it's just copy and paste trash, I think it's done a good job using the original material's story telling and then expanding on it.
