Reality Z

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.

The first 5 episodes I thought was a direct rip of Dead Set but the last was really got interesting when the direction of the series veered off into its own direction. I Loved The Never Ending Bag of Cocaine. Hilarious

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.

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.

I enjoyed this series. I really hope for a secend season. Original and mixes stuff from other zombiemovies in it. i had moments where i was really having a laugh (first 5 episodes) and some where i was just attached to the screen thinking.. oh, whats gonna happen now? (last 5 episodes)
