Zomboat!

Ok, so I don't usually write reviews but.. dang. This is one of the best shows I've seen... in forever. The acting, the humor, the zombies, the terror, the dialogue, the EVERYTHING. This show nails it all. It's so rewatchable especially if you're just looking for something that's light hearted, creepy, and easy to follow. As someone who's watched every zombie flick and show out there, this show is an absolute must see. You won't regret it.

Using a canal boat to navigate a zombie apocalypse is a great low budget idea for a series, and it is able to work in a lot of English-ness to it for a niche appeal of it goes abroad. There is also a lot of room left to grow in the series as the scope is very small for the most part in the first series.

Where the show falls down, at least in my opinion, is in the comedy writing and references. There is a point when they specifically criticise The Big Bang Theory, yet a lot of their references feel so on the nose that they could have come straight out of a horror version of the show (I was reminded of it even before it was brought up!). The jokes are just kind of lame and make you roll your eyes more than actually laugh out loud. It just lacks the nuisance of better comedies and with better writing the show would probably be much improved.

Overall it's a fun throwaway show that definitely has a niche appeal enough to give it a watch, it's just a shame it's humour is so broad.

Found this little gem while browsing on Hulu -- Zomboat! I (oddly perhaps) enjoy a unique treatment of the zombie genre, and Zomboat is definitely unique. It's quite well produced, acted and conceived -- even down to the quirky longboat our heroes commandeer down the narrow canal leading to London while escaping zombies. The many references to pop culture and wry humor, combined with charming dialog took me by surprise. With only 6 episodes in total, the story ends rather abruptly across the final episode. I could've enjoyed more. This isn't Gone With the Wind, but it absolutely is Zomboat!

The Comedy is Perfect The Acting Flawless The Premise ... So much fun Give it a try Cant wait for Season 02.

Completely enjoyed it! I laughed and smiled a lot and was sorry the season is only six episodes. Hopefully there will be more.
