There’s nothing here
I LOVE all things zombie - as in, I literally have walking dead playing as background noise while I work. And I just could not engage with this story. The production, mixing, and actors are all fantastic, but there’s just nothing here. It’s barely a story. I couldn’t outline a discernible beginning, middle, and end to any of the series if my life depended on it. There’s a couple mini-vignettes where you think it’s going somewhere, and it just doesn’t. The plot is..well.. It’s a LOT like watching skinamarink, but with a looping track of zombie sounds. Skip this and listen to “We’re Alive” for an original zombie story with fully developed characters and plenty to binge.
