As we are being continually overrun with zombie movies and shows, it has been expected that we’d be getting some kind of backlash, something highlighting the more sensitive side of the undead. There was the Warm Bodies movie recently, and now we have BBC America gifting us with a 3-night mini-series about “”Pds (Partially Dead Syndrome) sufferers” and their re-entry into civilization, entitled In the Flesh.

Here’s a clip, followed by the BBC America press release:

BBC America’s co-production "In the Flesh" tells a very human story... about the undead. The mini-series springs to life with a special broadcast event, premiering over three consecutive nights.

Zombie teenager Kieren Walker isn’t comfortable in his ‘undead’ state. He didn’t want to come back - he wanted to be dead. After his suicide four years ago, his friends and family thought they’d never see him again. But then, shortly after his funeral, thousands rose from the dead. After months of rehabilitation and medication, the zombies, now known as Pds (Partially Deceased Syndrome) sufferers, are gradually being returned to their homes.
