The Bite

At first I didn't know if I'd like The Bite, but once I started watching, it was hilarious. This limited series is just fun. It doesn't need to be dissected, it doesn't warrant some esoteric ramblings that will bore us to tears, ignore the trolls (most haven't even seen the series and you can tell), it's simply six comedic episodes about a shaky marriage, a virus, friendships and zombies. Audra McDonald is perfect as Rachel...she brings that character to life. Taylor Schilling is also a standout and the Zombies lurching around cracks me up.

Let's get this out in the open ... this is NOT a highbrow drama destined for multiple Emmy nominations.

This is a fun and campy drama/dark comedy that encourages us to look back at the peak of the COVID pandemic and laugh a little at how we handled it. There are those who denied the seriousness, those who politicized a public health crisis, those who were in a constant state of panic, and those who simply tried to help others and continue their lives as best they could. We observe the story's heroes and see the sacrifices, heartbreak and tough decisions they made for the greater good. Fun series. Well worth the time. Just go into it expecting a campy approach, not a serious drama or laugh out loud comedy.

Wish it had more than 6 episodes,watched them all in an evening.

Great cast,acting,storyline,cinematography & music.

Had a perfect mix of drama,humor & horror.

Despite the Covid undertones,it didn't distract from overall premise.

Worth a watch!

Very enjoyable mix of sci-fi, horror, drama, and comedy. Wish it was available to a wider audience so I could recommend it to friends.

I knew if I read dinner reviews that someone was going to call this show 'woke', it portrays a funny science fiction like story that overlays what is happening in the two world with COVID-19, that said, anyone calling it 'woke' is some goofball who doesn't understand that real viruses can be deadly even as much as killing 50-75% like Ebola which only didn't spread as easily as COVID-19, hence their ignorance that spreads to any subject matter regarding pandemics, this series is excellent, what happens IF another virus comes that is both fast spreading AND incredibly deadly?, anyway, this is FICTION, it even proposes that the virus in the show was manipulated, which should make the kooky 'anti-woke' crowd 'happy', long story short - ignore ANYONE calling something out someone 'woke', it only demonstrates their inability to accept anything outside their fox news pablum, peace!
