Death Valley

Sometimes it is hard to understand how Hollywood works. The super dreary Zombie Nation goes on for years while this spot on zombie comedy gets cancelled after one season. It's been six years and everyones in awhile I catch myself really missing this show. Loved the humor and the gore. Thought the casting was great and the characters really likable. Bring it back please!

Somebody said Zombies are the new vampires. I don't really care (since I like both so much), but I can't help but wonder why my favorite new shows have zombies (am I the only one with a countdown for The Walking Dead's second season?).

Just like the old show COPS, Death Valley starts out with a chase, two cops following a bloody faced woman through a small convenience store. There's shaky video as the videographer (is that even the right term for the person who follows the action?) chases after them and catches the shocking and somewhat funny conclusion to the chase.

Anyway, I love this show. It has just the right amount of earnest police procedural to balance out the bloody gore and humor of cops chasing after zombies and vampires in Los Angeles.

If you think this will be a one hit wonder, think again, like other good cop shows, it's the characters that really carry the show, but I am hoping for some kind of overarching plot, maybe something to do with a vampire prostitution ring, werewolf mafia, zombie ultimate boxing, something ridiculous, of course.

Death Valley hasn't hit a high with a cop like Captain Jim Dangle (my fave cop from Reno 911!) but you can't go wrong with characters like "John John" and my Death Valley favorite, Joe Stubeck, who made me giggle so much I almost spit out my coffee.

Anyways, I'll be tuning in for more.

Where the hell did this come from? I'm guessing the surprise mainstream success of The Walking Dead has opened the door for a whole new genre of horror/gore based TV series, and this one actually manages to have fun with it!

The humour is low brow with an endless stream of one liners but I'm a sucker for that when it's done well, and when you throw Vampires, Zombies and Werewolves into the mix you can't go wrong (as long as the effects budget is there that is.)

I've only seen one episode so far but I hope this takes off and doesn't get cut-off mid season like some other gems that have come out recently (Walking Dead, V, etc)

all i can say after viewing all three episodes is...WOW! i love reno 911, i love anything to do with zombies, and the added vamps and werewolves is just a plus, as there not the lame sort of vamps. this show has everything I've ever wanted, from the two bumbling idiot cops spewing one liners and eating choco tacos, to the two kick ass cops flirting with each other while dishing out punishment to all sorts of ghoulies. the gore is pretty decent for an mtv show, the humor is on par with movies like super bad and the hangover, as well as shows like reno 911 and stuff like that, and the camera work isn't too bad either. i was expecting some horribly lame take on the genre by mtv...but they actually made a new genre as far as TV shows go! i know i just said it, but the amount of gore, the action, and the comedy make this show priceless. when the idiot cops were talking and the bigger one said "do u kiss your mother with that mouth?" and the other one said back "i french kiss my mother with this mouth...", "what?!!?", "oh yeah shes not that hot...", "what!??"..."actually she is pretty hot"...i almost pee'd my pants lmao. just watch it

When I first heard about this show I wrote it off as just another stupid MTV show. I never really gave it a chance when it finally started airing, I would watch a few mins of it every now and then but I never really sat down and gav it a shot. Then finally once it appeared on Netflix I decided to watch the entire first (and last) season, and man did it surprise me.

One of the main things that shocked me about this show was that it actually has a very interesting story, the episodes play off of each other in a very cool way. I expected it to be a "Reno 911" rip off with zombies/werewolfs/and vampires thrown in, but it actually takes on a life of its own with nice plot twists and likable characters.

All in all this is an excellent series with very few flaws. Its a bummer that it was not renewed for a second season because this is really a gem. Definitely check this out. 9/10
