Reality Z

This show is inspired by the British series "Dead Set". Also set in a tv studio, but this this time It's not Big Brother. This show has all elements of a true zombie flick. All cliches, and a wide range of characters corresponding to the cliche genre.

Still it's fun to watch thanks to the superb special effects. The best shot was the tribute to a famous scene of Day of the Dead (1978).

For sure worth watching if you are a zombi lover or want to get familiar with the genre.

As soon as I heard old Pink Floyd in E1, I knew I was in it for the long haul.

Brazilian adaptation of "Dead Set" which I have no problem with. Zombies both look and act real so that's always a plus considering all of the cheap looking fakes that often ruin these types of efforts. The lines are definitely funny too. However, the actors are speaking Portuguese, so the version I watched was dubbed which is something I personally hate. I did attempt to switch it over but the English captions didn't always appear when someone was speaking.

Considering I usually rate on the lower side of the scale, while it's not as good as "Dead Set," it's definitely watchable nevertheless.

Yes, the first few episodes are basically the Dead Set plot, but it takes wild turns the last half of episodes. I honestly didn't see the ending coming, at all - the last ten minutes is an absolute wtf. I'm excited for a second season. I hope there is another endless bag of cocaine, it was an odd and hilarious note of apocolyptic humor.

I didn't care for the voice overs and ultimately preferred just the captions.

The first 5 episodes I thought was a direct rip of Dead Set but the last was really got interesting when the direction of the series veered off into its own direction. I Loved The Never Ending Bag of Cocaine. Hilarious

First off - this ya not a shot by shot copy of Dead Set. The first five episodes borrow heavily from the original but also adds another story line. The remake characters lacked a bit of punch but nuance is always lost in translation. After episode 5 the whole thing takes a new direction with characters who have much more dimension. As for the similarities in the remake it seemed more like a homage than just a copy - something though to get through to get to Part 2. There is a familiar yet blaring metaphor here about society and it's very apt and very scary. Episodes come in at a quick 25 minutes so a 10 episode binge is realistic.
