    the series is created and showrun by Karl Schaefer and John Hyams, both of whom previously worked on Syfy's Z Nation.
    Ummm, that's not good. 'Z Nation' was rubbish.

    But, will hold fire and check it out anyway.

    Hmmm, so's 'The Goldbergs' and 'Modern Family' Moon.

    There's plenty of shite still on the air.

    Anyway, we'll see what they can come up with for this show. Hopefully, it can do the zombie apoc some justice.

    It just sounds a lot like Madison's story from Ftwd /Rick's story from TWD so the bar is low
    You smell that? That's the smell of spring, and I love it. You know what I love to do in spring? I love to come out into the woods, to walk amongst the budding trees, to smell and taste the hint of renewal that hovers in the air like a heady perfume, and to listen to the song of the birds who have returned from their long sojourn south. And bury the people I killed during the winter...

    Runners? Pass.



    Seriously, though ... doesn't look like it's for me. I wasn't keen on what I saw in the trailer, and the clickbait articles (ads, really) banging on about it being "better than TWD" are not only stupid but also annoying.

    It's also 'Z Nation', which I abandoned ages ago because it was shite.

    I'm halfway through. Its actually ok. Nothing we havent seen already.
    It's basically a 4 hour tv movie split into parts with WWZ movie zombies.

    This ended up being a 6 hour movie and you know what? I freaking loved it.
    In a nutshell it's in the segment format of the WWZ book, set in the WWZ movie universe.
    And all produced by The Asylum.
    It's grim as it should be and worse case scenario, runner's who turn instantly upon death. A real clusterfuck.
    The acting is way above average, characters interesting. Storytelling is often told from multiple perspectives and never seemed gimmicky to me.

    Give it a chance people. I watched the whole lot in 2 sittings which is a rarity these days

    Edit..

    It also has one of the best zombie chase scenes I've ever seen.
