The Bite

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.

1st episode, keep on watching, it really can grow on you.

Low budget simple locations but its upbeat .

Lots of zoom calls scenes , surprise how fun was 1st episode by the end.

Update: i tought the last episode , especially last scene was not well directed and written.

The content is so outdated already that it should be shelved as "too irrelevant".

Really bad acting, this plot has actually been done previously by at least two movies that I'm aware of.

A biting satire on current events, taking on the politics and the Pharmaceutical industry. All via an entertaining kind of slapstick within the confined spaces that we find ourselves in today. Apart from dealing with the COVID pandemic, it throws in a zombie virus, ensuring pandemonium of the stupidity kind.

In a delicious way it also takes a swipe at today's society by what has become the dreaded norms. Like forming opinions by researching the internet for fifteen minutes, believing the corrupted to suit your agenda, and the influences of today's stupid social media darlings.

Along the way it has fun with the "soapy drama" and schlock horror films. My best bits is the courier boy who manages to get his job done during the zombie holocaust. Season 2 should be from his point of view and how he carried out his job under zombie duress!

McDonald and Schilling play it to perfection, without going overboard, ensuring there is some silliness and laughter along the way. Maybe the writing needed a bit more development, but when you have the King's in charge (they also created. The Good Wife, The Good Fight, Evil) then I guess they can do whatever the hell they like. So enjoy...

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!
