Black Summer

Those Black Summer zombies can really move. I finished episode two but am not relating to the characters yet.

Stephen King says he's into it.

I suppose there's always a new generation coming up who's just discovering cultural tropes that older people are sick to death of, and they need their own fresh takes on them. Zombie effects have certainly improved since my generation was scared shitless by the original "Night of the Living Dead."

I watched an episode. It has some potential but I'm so behind on other shows I don't know if I have time for this yet

I enjoyed it. It focuses on people trying to survive and not a lot of back story.

I quit after Episode 4. Fantastic beginning ultimately devolves into the same old "been there/done that" scenario. Acting is ok, but we felt the producers must have gone out of their way to find the ugliest and most unappealing cast ever.

Time to give zombies a rest, I think. Over-saturation has made zombies unscary and ho-hum.

Only on episode three, and though the stupid decisions the characters make are frustrating, I suppose that’s part of the genre. In a lot of ways this is what The Walking Dead should or could have been. Visceral, bleak, tense and legitimately terrifying at times. No preaching and over long repetitive monologues to slow it down. Hoping it gets a second season.

I really enjoyed it but the first half of the season was better. I thought the cafe scene was the standout episode. Will there be a season 2?

Based on that shitty Sy-Fy show about zombies, which was created by The Asylum as a blatant Walking Dead ripoff that in typical Asylum fashion has horrible writing and production value and is just created to make a quick buck off of scamming idiots who mistake it for the original property. Not interested.

It's nothing like Z Nation though. I struggled to get into that show, but I've heard it got a lot better in the second season.

R10 It’s the same creative team though, which makes me reticent. Also I’m pretty sure The Asylum still produces, right?
