A female led zombie comedic drama set in Birmingham. This was actually a reasonable series despite several terrible accents.
Zombie horror films work best on a low budget and having a single barge on a canal certainly helps make this feel like a low budget despite the mainstream actors.
Imagine escaping a zombie outbreak on the slowest form of transport. Then you have Zomboat!

I'll start by saying that if you have watched the UK version of this (Which by the way was made by Channel 4 and Company Pictures and NOT the BBC as these other reviews suggest) You probably won't enjoy this first episode. Its a straight transition of the script with some adjustments.
However having seen shows that were changed beyond all recognition I can say that is a good thing.
The cast are excellent in their roles and the story which is far from the usual tame fodder of American drama is handled with honesty and realism. The characters mostly have their own interests to consider as well as the kids trying to keep their family together.
William H Macy is ideal in a role which doesn't allow him much initial screen time but I'm sure future episodes will focus on him since Frank is such a fascinating character. Can't wait for episode 2.
