ShangLuda
Admirable film.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

As usual i look for trailers or reviews before starting to watch new TV series, this being new, fresh and not reviewed i just gave it a shot.After seeing the first episode i have 5 things to say, unfortunately most of them are goofs from the series:1.- The outbreak is supposed to happen because of the launch of the 5G (next gen internet velocity of mobile phones) and because is starting to mutate human minds and DNA, this being funny because 5G affects the internet or connection range of a mobile device not a freaking animal lol...unless humans are interfaced biologically with wireless internet (biotechnology-augmentation) i don't see this possible ;d...anywayz this was passable...2.- "The army" has set 4 tests to identify zombies:-If dude has cellphone, its a zombie -If has red and itchy eyes, its a zombie (like we cant see the f*cker 's rotting). -Skin lesion, zombie -...and the old balance test, basically if dude cannot stand with one foot and touch his nose, its a zombie xD3.- The survivors get some missions for surviving until they get extracted from the military...first mission: 2 dudes have to risk their lives for a couple of sleeping bags and pillows they have to get from the stock room (notice that they only have to stay 6 days before extraction and they all are going yolo for sh*ts and giggles...).4.- Although you usually get infected by a zombie bite or scratch...here they say that just by the touch you'll die (facepalm)...but the best part is that you can see this dude, carrying basically every time zombie blood in his hands and he does not mind touching everything with it (eating and sh*t), which pretty much contradicts any logic lol...unfortunately this also happens in other series like the walking dead or even zombie games, being the reason of immunity unknown (no sanitary precautions?)5.- Last but not least at some point, when you think the zombies are classic (not too many abilities) appears this new survivor blond chick (which is actually hot but she was born a male, like a freaking shemale *WTF?*) and a couple of them zombies suddenly start having human abilities such as running (after her) and at some point they are holding and trowing chairs.6.- This being a reality show, has no grand $$$ price...if you saw this funny horror movie called the Wrong Turn 2 thats based on the same survivor reality show of a zombie post-apocalyptic breakout...but has more credibility even if it looks stupid the broadcaster was more legit.Although a zombie post apocalyptic scenario is a futuristic genre of the traditional reality shows out there, this idea seems fairly old. Its just no one really release a TV series yet...this could have being rated 5 (passable) if the things above where corrected...and a very good series rank if they incorporated better ideas like beating and shooting zombies (which i believe would cost some extra budget) and some other things that someone should have pay me to say to make a better TV series...all and all i may watch some episodes for the luls ;p ********** P.D. OMG! after watching the second episode i rate this as absolute crap, basically its all so staged up when the first dude dies its like he knew that its going to happen and guess what? he gets his guts eaten with one bite, so this basically means its not a reality show i don't even know what this crap is anymore, there is no price no competition and clearly the survivor/s or the winner was already staged...so this is all fiction, its basically bullsh*t when you see this cheap actors running and smiling or when on of their teammates died, they are like f*ck it and its just like big brother lame sh*t. ************

People have been comparing this show to Dead Set, its not, Dead Set had a sense of danger and panic. I realise this show is suppose to be tongue in cheek, however I expected the survivors to least act scared instead of laughing, smiling and talking about lady gaga. The zombies felt more like decorations then an actual threat. Although the makeup on said decorations was pretty good I liken them to the chickens on big brother. Something to cut to when the contestants were unbroadcastable, the zombies were FILLER. The filler kept at a nice safe distance whilst the survivors discussed their food preferences, I found the discussion about corn beef wonderfully thrilling (cant believe this show lasted an hour). The tasks felt stupid and unnecessary. In a post apocalyptic scenario I would not risk my life for 7 days usage of a pillow and a sleeping bag (first task). The environment felt too cushy, i don't think a zombie show works with a safe zone. If it were realistic the survivors would ration the water and go without food. If you like reality TV other shows do it better, the emotional and moral decay required to make this show interesting wont happen in such a short duration and with no incentive. Maybe if they were forced to compete for food or a prize...Sadly watching people work towards a common goal for mutual benefit with little adversity feels abit pointless.

The entire first episode was slow, contrived, unexciting and lacked any true gravitas. Maybe 5g rotting peoples minds has led to this ridiculously high rating. The zombies are slow and amble around lackadaisically, the 'survivors' can't spend more than about 5 minutes without giggling. Furthermore the story although far fetched seems the most believable part of this sordid pigs ear of a piece of zombie fiction. The web-comic which accompanies the first episode on the BBC website, even references Romero, though I find it hard to believe the director has watched and indeed absorbed any of that masterpiece with the way this has turned out. I found myself unable to watch the entire program, perhaps a format closer to that of the Crystal Maze would of suited this more? Why don't the survivors have any weapons? Where did the military go? If the extraction area was overrun why are the survivors heading there? You get no answers and only more questions. My hearty recommendation is to avoid this like the plague.

I have given this programme an 8/10.It has been a great start of the programme let alone I have only watched the first episode. This programme reminded me of a series called Dead Set. Not only it is a reality show. I liked how there are different types of people within the programme. There is another reason why I couldn't add another two stars because there was too much GCI within the transitions but other than that it looked great. The programme does have a comedy side to it and the programme is not predictable as well, which is good. I am looking forward to the next episode.
