IMO, the second best zombie show after Netflix's 'Kingdom'


John Hyams' use of extremely long single-takes work to build tension naturally, elevating his series above its ultra-generic logline. It's genuinely thrilling.

Walking Dead is the best one

reply

I think ‘The Walking Dead’ peaked around Season 3 and ran for far too long.

‘Black Summer’ and ‘Kingdom’ are stronger for being shorter and tighter productions.

Wasn't there supposed to be a Season 2 of Black Summer?

reply

It’s supposed to be released in 2020 but was delayed to sometime in 2021 due to the pandemic.

Literally, no other show comes close.

Nope, Dead Set by far the best. Walking Snorefest lost its magic when they started to deviate to far from the comics, around the time they killed of Andrea, then it went to sh*t scary fast.

True - Walking Dead did decline in later seasons. Once they reach Alexandria, the show wasn’t the same. But the early seasons were incredible.

Eh The Walking Dead is still the best imo. I didn’t find this show very good. Too much dumb zombie action and not enough good story and characters

reply

Good story and characters in the same phrase as TWD? You gotta be kidding!!!

reply

Nope I am very serious. How else has it been so successful if those things didn't exist?

reply

GREAT EARLY SEASONS THAT LOCKED EVERYONE INTO WATCHING THE SHOW RUN ITSELF INTO A WALL.

reply

And why was it great in the early seasons? Characters and story. Black Summer has neither which is why its weak

reply

Donno, for me it was a mess since the start, and it become more and more stupid, idiotic drama than good story or characters.

Never could go past second season due to that, too dumb and annoying for me ...
