Reviews

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Sourwolfnewtmas I didn't see any trailers or advertising on TV or online so it was a surprise as I was flicking through channels. At first I thought here we go another zombie apocalypse, more generic characters, predictable plot. I was really pleasantly surprised.The premise is a world where zombies can be cured by a daily injection and are known as PDS or partially deceased syndrome sufferers. They still retain their undead appearance but think and feel like they did before they died.The PDS suffers have to face severe prejudice from the living which in a way is portrayed as a kind of racism. They also must come to terms with how they died and the fact they killed people in their untreated state.There is romance but not in a sickly kind of way which is new. It doesn't focus on this as the plot is so complex and well written, as are the characters. All of the characters are relatable. Even the villains have clear motive to explain their actions.The only downside would be the fact I personally find it difficult to watch any zombie films or series after seeing another side to this world but overall I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes horror series or series with good LGBT and mental health representation.
zotwot Rarely does a drama come along which is original as In the Flesh. I fear that when most people hear it's about zombies they imagine it's a poor man's Walking Dead but actually the two shows have few things in common. The show is all about what happens when zombies are cured and brought back into society. One of the one hand it is a good supernatural drama. "Rotters", as they tend to be known in this world, actually play a bigger part in the second series. There are rotter attacks and a mythology about a second rising. The whole concept is unique and the writers continually add the the actually pretty small mythos. On the other hand though the "partially deceased syndrome" sufferers play a very real-world role. They are symbolic of any race or group of people have been segregated and made a prejudice by the majority due to fear and lack of understanding. The key point is that the undead only cause trouble when they are provoked. There are also lots of other issues appearing in the show, like extreme politics and the effect of religion. A supernatural drama which brilliantly reflects on real world issues, In the Flesh is brilliant. The first series was good but the second series totally eclipses it. I really hope that it will get a third series.
tamaralaurent this TV show is a mixture of all my favorite TV show genres, there's drama, gays, and zombies. At first I really thought I wasn't going to like it because the first season only had 3 episodes and it wasn't possible to get that much story into 3 hours, boy was I wrong. it wasn't a thought out choice when I first saw the show, I just thought it had a catchy name so I started watching it and at first it was a little slow but by episode 2 I was hooked, I laughed I and I cried like crazy (but that just might be hormones), cant wait for the next episode. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.by the way this show really isn't for everyone, so I don't recommend it unless you are the type of person to stay up all night watching a TV show just to find out how it ends. and by gays I don't mean QAF kind of gays I mean a cute little subtle gay relationship that you don't really realize is a gay relationship until it ends.
Not Jim In The Flesh did something most series or movies can't do to me: it actually caught my attention, it motivated me to stay with my eyes glued to the screen and even go back when I didn't pay attention for a minute.The thing I like most about this series is that it doesn't portray "zombies" as other productions. They're not the cruel creatures that come to kill you, even though they can be like that in their most primitive stages. Those who have the so called PDS are as rational or emotional as anyone who hasn't died before.The fact that the protagonist is one of the "zombies" makes it more interesting, for we see their suffering from their own point of view, we feel their struggles to overcome the prejudice that targets them and to deal with the bad they involuntarily did.With its moral questions, innovative plot and entertaining production, In The Flesh is definitely a must see. The only reason I didn't give it a higher rating is that it hasn't yet answered many questions I have, but I trust that new seasons will come and bring the required information.
