I agree with an earlier reviewer: I'm not sure I'll make it through to the end. 20 minutes in and I already have a strong suspicion that this might be the worst movie I've ever watched.
This movie is absolutely terrible in every way. Plot, conversation, acting... Everything. I'll give you an example:
In one scene the main character is having a flashback. He's in a (terrible as usual) conversation with the bad guy, Eddie. Eddie is holding a glas of tequila in his left hand and his hair is up in a ponytail. Cut to another angle and all of a sudden his hair is down and the glas is gone. Cut back again and the ponytail and glas is back. Cut again. No ponytail and he takes a mouthful of tequila from the bottle. What the...? It's amazing to watch all the inconsistencies in this production. They are everywhere and they are hilarious.
I won't give anything away, but the end leaves me with a feeling that the producers of this mess will hit us with a sequel. I'm looking forward to it, but at the same time I don't think they will be able to raise enough money for it. I would love to see it. I haven't been this entertained in a while.
Was there a script or did they make the plot up as they went along? Was the budget over or under 5 bucks? Was this flick made by 4th graders? Did they make it this lousy just to win some kind of award? The questions are piling up minute by minute.
BTW: Did you know that the point of a satelite phone is that it's easily traceable? I just learned this.
I urge you to watch this movie. Watch it as a comedy/parody, not as an action flick. It should be used at every film school as an example on what NOT to do.
A note to some reviewers: You know that the average of 1-10 stars is 5 stars. Right? How can you give a movie you dislike as much as you say a 5 star review? Your words doesn't match your rating.

Jonah Hill and his co-workers created a masterpiece here!
The story is told at a rather slow pace without silly effects or music to enhance them. There is music - good music - but never where it's not needed. The dialogue feels so real that it feels like you're right there with the actors. Also it's filmed in 4:3 to give it an authentic feeling of the mid 90's and the skateboard films that was shot back then.
As a photographer I also were caught by the beautiful imagery. Clean, simple, raw... Fantastic!
I can go on and on, but I won't. Just see the movie. Hopefully you'll fall in love with it too.

The script is so thin it's embarrassing. I would be ashamed putting my name on it. Seriously ashamed.
Lots of people complain about the actors. These people doesn't seem to understand how little the actors have to work with here. I'll list some of the dumb stuff going on:
Those are just a couple of the things that bugs the hell out of me after watching S1.
What's nice about the show and what could have helped propel it to the top of the genre is the photography, the fact that the episodes are short and themselves divided into short chapters and the fact that the zombies remains as athletic after turning as they were when they were alive. Nice touch.
I get the impression that the creators worked really hard on the framework but when it came to filling this beautiful frame with equally beautiful art they ran out of juice. Or money. Or both. That's sad.

- The carachters keep shooting at the zombies torsos. That's scripted. Totally stupid, seriously annoying, but scripted.
- How likely is it that a young japaneese woman doesn't know a single word of english? Let alone travels to America without knowing any english words? They do teach english in japaneese schools. This nonsense is written into the script.
- The airforce are constantly bombing everything. Yet there's no bombed out buildings, huge craters or other traces of bombing raids. Scripted.
