This movie is a unique story on its own while writing a love note to it's fanbase. Story & characters are unique and fun with some campy humor to fill in the gaps. The storytelling is really good and you don't get that need to check your phone to see how long you have been sitting there. I would gladly see any future Ghostbuster movies that expand on these characters story. Avoid spoilers and descriptive reviews about the story. The ending was great and the 30+ years of waiting for this follow up movie was worth it.

Before watching the first episode, I was pretty excited to see another alien invasion series. After watching 3 episodes I can say definitely the aliens could not invade and wipe out humanity quick enough. So far in the story we got a multitude of "stories" that do nothing but portray everything with a negative light of humanity. I was looking for that one person I could relate to and hope they were the beacon of light...yeah still waiting. The bouncing of back and forth between the stories don't help much either. I don't complete understand this line of story telling that is so common in the last decade. Let's not tell a linear storyline and instead make a storyline that resembles a bucket of bouncy balls smashed against a wall in a room full of bouncy balls and hope we can follow along. The only saving grace was the American soldier gave a damn about his fellow soldier men missing. Finally, someone showing some type of decent humanity(which would of been a 2 star review). Then the twist wants to off the guy with the camel even after being saved and given water(which brings the review back to a 1 star).

Watching the first couple episodes Ive found a lot things story wise don't make sense but I'll excuse that for the overall glaring issues that need addressed. The show trys to bounce around from being taken serious and then shoots all the way to the opposite end of the spectrum trying to attemp comedy. The writers need to decide if they want the show to be more "Walking Dead' or "ZNation". Bouncing back and forth just doesn't work and makes it frustrating to watch. I love the zombie genre but too many writers never flesh out the backstory and build upon it. All they do is just go, look I have a story and it has zombies, and just wing it from there. Would of gave it a 1 star but the effects and costumes of the show look like someone made an effort and I commend them for that with a +2.
