Sadly Over-hyped

Really Surprised!

Best movie ever!

A lot of fun.

I just finished the second episode, i was going to stop after the first but i thought it might get better...i was wrong.Its like the real world but with lame zombies. they sit around laughing but there's zombies all around them its ridiculous. I'll stick with the walking dead thank you [ i mean no thank you when it comes to I Survived A Zombie Apocalypse] I guess i cant give my opinion unless i write 10 lines of text so here is what else i think is wrong with this lame show! who can't survive 7 days? they have water and so food,but they sit around talking who will eat what food. Come on if it's a life and death situation i'd go hungry, they only have to be there 7 days. the point is try again because the show is lame.

The production value is dire, the idea has promise, but the actual material is dire, loathsome and shoddy. For instance in the first episode, watch out for the 'wedding dress zombie'. First, she chases our survivors to the shopping entrance, the survivors barricade the door and block the windows with cardboard. So at this point the 'wild, violent flesh hungry' zombies know 'food' is inside... yet cut to the very next scene, the frenzied zombies have all marched off and put themselves behind a fence, some distance from the entrance, really? This permits the survivors to grab a military crate dropped from the sky. Then the next scene, the zombies have grown bored of the fence, to return to the entrance. It's appalling... to think George A Romero got it so sublimely right in the 70's. Avoid this show, it's only merit is it's guaranteed cancellation.

Horribly misjudged.Incredibly, it actually combines the worst aspects of different genres: We've got the moronic, boring waffling of Big Brother AND poorly made, low-budget, story-free zombie stuff.At least actual Big Brother features 'genuine' morons.While Im putting the boot into this rubbish: the 'army voice-overs' sound like the stilted scripting of a 1990s video game.Low production values is not necessarily a death-blow but this not only looks like a 3rd year drama project, it is unforgivably dull.(Imdb want more lines, but I think you get the idea...)

The entire first episode was slow, contrived, unexciting and lacked any true gravitas. Maybe 5g rotting peoples minds has led to this ridiculously high rating. The zombies are slow and amble around lackadaisically, the 'survivors' can't spend more than about 5 minutes without giggling. Furthermore the story although far fetched seems the most believable part of this sordid pigs ear of a piece of zombie fiction. The web-comic which accompanies the first episode on the BBC website, even references Romero, though I find it hard to believe the director has watched and indeed absorbed any of that masterpiece with the way this has turned out. I found myself unable to watch the entire program, perhaps a format closer to that of the Crystal Maze would of suited this more? Why don't the survivors have any weapons? Where did the military go? If the extraction area was overrun why are the survivors heading there? You get no answers and only more questions. My hearty recommendation is to avoid this like the plague.
