I am loving this show. It may not be at the height of some zombie cinema, it isn't better than All of Us Are Dead, but it ain't far from it. I was skeptical after seeing over 30 pretty Thai boys and girls on the poster. And there a lot of characters. A lot of red shirts. A lot of extras to be eaten. Although, that being said, the deaths are getting more and more from the main cast now.
I have to contradict the IMDB reviewer who said there was nothing new here. There actually is. Alphas. We have seen a lead zombie in many many movies, 28 Years Later, House of the Dead, Army of the Dead, Land of the Dead to name but a few. But in all those cases the Alpha is the biggest brute of the horde, the huge monster from 28 Years Later, the original soldier in Army of the Dead, the Mechanic in Land. The Alpha here is very intriguing. And the use of emotion too, zombies fearful of the Alpha without the Alpha being a physically dominant specimen. Great stuff all around, I am loving it.
The whole storyline of the menial staff being used is sad. But it is a harsh reality of life. Zombies now self repairing. And getting stoned. This show is better than Happiness, better than Newtopia. It isn't far off All of Us are Dead. And that is saying something.
