    Can't say I liked it, kinda lost interest somewhere and mentally switched off. Can't even recall how it ended...

    Just not my idea of a zombie drama.

    I think this is gonna be a marmite show... you either love it or hate it...

    My opinion on this show...I think I quite like it. Very interesting spin on the mythology that I've only ever seen once before in a french film called Les Revenants.

    Just wondering something though... the guy playing the vicar... Doesn't he play Dr Channard in Hellraiser 2?

    I liked it can't wait to see where it goes, nice to see the zombie genre going other places before it gets stale.

    Yeah, I liked this too - I'd imagine it's the sort of thing I'd Dr Logan dreamed about in between bouts of giving Bub 'new things to play with' and making speeches about 'keeping them from wanting to eat us'.

    I'm glad they didn't jump on a bandwagon and produced something little more thought provoking, okay it could all go to hell over the next couple of weeks, but it will be interesting to see where it goes.

    I really enjoyed it! Liked the premise, and just hope the next two episodes use it to best effect!

    No. I've had too many crazy hyper girls like that in my life. No space/time/energy for another.
    For 1 night maybe.

    Finally watched the third & final episode. Really enjoyed it. Some of the characters and their motivations were very cardboard (questionable) but still a great bit of drama!

    There seems to be a big loose end with the zombie web activist guy... All seemed a big unanswered question there!

    My only real complaint was just how dumb some of the characters were behaving. eg:-
    - Parents making son pretend to eat.
    - Bill Macy just not realising his son was just like the 'rotters' he wanted dead? Really?
    - etc...

    Still some good ideas/drama in there though!
