Zombieverse

Casts made it a cheap reality show. If they were to truly face zombie apocalypse, they won't even survive for an hour. From the first episode, they all were wasting energies running and screaming while accomplishing simple quests. They'd have die of exhaustion from all those running and screaming around in real situation, if not from zombie bites. That's not how you survive an apocalypse. If the show was really unscripted, then I'll have to say they are the dumbest surviver ever with lowest iq. It was really frustrating to continue watching.

I'm giving it 2 stars because there were some rarely funny moments I enjoyed. But overall it'll feel like waste of time.

Season 2: LOL Defconn? From Live Solo on the show? A contestant? Maybe he can finally find a wife and let's hope she doesn't turn into a Zombie! So happy to see DEX - it wouldn't be good w/o DEX and he proves his worth with UDT soldier expertise right from the beginning in ep. 1; he is so handsome and manly, in contrast to some of the other cute but scaredy cat guys (no names but you will see in ep. 1). Will raise my rating to a 9 just for entertainment value. Its cheesy and fun at the same time so have fun with it. Also noticed Code Kunst's military skills and how he steps up to the plate and does what he needs to do too.

Season 1: I gave it an 8 mostly for DEX (fans of DEX know who he is) and for comedy value as I found it extremely funny from the very beginning. It can't be serious but I've seen some great acting amongst the zombies - it is advertised as unscripted per se, but we all know it is fake so it comes out as hilarious. The one actor contestant with the hat with the ear flaps is laughing the whole time - even he can't help it. Dex is playing his cool self as usual and figures out how to escape the zombies in an early quest using his UDT soldier experience. Am kind of wondering if it isn't treated kind of like a mystery dinner where each contestant is given their roll to play in advance, but there is no script. Have no idea about the producing but each episode is a different quest (gas station, grocery store, etc). Will have to see how this ends - 8 episodes in all.

Some fun moments and ideas here and there but overall its just pretty bad and annoying.

The Bad: -Some actors cannot decide if they are in a zombie apocalypse or in a reality-tv show. (half-assed acting comes of as bad and annoying) -Absolutely horrible acting with annoying fake crying by some of the cast.

-Being loud all the time when its supposed to be a zombie apocalypse takes away any small amount of immersion you might be lucky to find.

The Good: -Some of them are not trying so hard to act and it comes of much more fun and enjoyable.

-Some of them are actually good at acting.

Not recommended even for the diehard zombie fans.

At first I thought this will be a horror series. Like a proper fictional story where there is a zombie outbreak but it is already been tamed (much like the end of shaun of the dead) and these characters join this game show where the have to do challenges while also escaping the zombies (basically squid game but with zombies). And it'll be shot much like we are watching a reality show.

But alas, the show is basically just role play.

Knowing these people are actually safe made it hard to believe in it. As well as them unable to truly hurt the zombies (since they are just real people), makes the whole thing kinda stupid (not that I endorsed violence but it is like watching people do tag and run but with zombies).

Dex is the star of the show for sure, but it also made the others looked incompetent by a lot.

A zombie reality show in a so-called "unscripted" setting is a recipe for disaster. I couldn't take it seriously when it was painfully obvious to me that the cast were just acting like they were seeing zombies in real life saying "they'll die" and stuff like that. It felt like the show was belittling my intelligence. And it also made the zombies acting seem fake and not scary.

I can't believe Netflix halted production of a brilliant series like All Of Us Are Dead season 2 and also Kingdom 3 for this, just because this reality show needed the zombie art and choreography team of the former 2 shows. Netflix should better stick with producing zombie fictious series like AOUAD which has proved to be one of the best in the world.
