i must have seen a different film!!

Better than most people think

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I give this show a 9 because although I do miss the gratuitous violence of traditional zombie flicks, I cannot deny the truly unique premise of the show. Rather than fighting to survive against a zombie horde the characters, are learning to live with zombies, who are not the real evil in the show. Instead the evil is rather the bigotry and ignorance of the human race itself, a kind of mindlessness paralleled in the behavior of zombies themselves. I could expound on and on about the thematic subtitles I've detected whilst viewing season one. But that would belabor the point. Besides the outstanding writing, and top-notch acting this show also delivers an amazing atmosphere, Kieran truly looks like an embalmed corpse all drenched in foundation, his haunting glassy eyes white and ghostly reflecting the foggy depths which engulf every scene... blah blah. In conclusion though I recommend this show because it really encapsulates what true horror, good horror is all about, a story wherein the characters themselves discover themselves to be monsters akin if not worse than the monsters they used to fight against.

This show is one of the best I've seen in a very long time. The cast are amazing, the writing is complex, but not overly so, and, despite the series featuring zombies, it's very easy to relate to in real life. Issues like discrimination are tackled in an eye-opening way without being preachy. There's representation for the queer community, though again, the queer characters are not solely defined by their sexuality, nor does their characterisation hinge on it. The topics of depression, anxiety, self- worth, self-acceptance, and PTSD are explored in a meaningful and honest way. Add to that the drama of families regaining someone they'd lost and grieved for and you've got gold. I watched the entire series in just over a day and I'm dying for a third one. I can only hope that we've not seen the last of this world as it has so much to offer.

Familiar ground, some of which was covered years ago in THEY CAME BACK (a movie that seemed genuinely GENUINE at the time). IN THE FLESH takes the basic premise and runs with it- though not always successfully. Essentially a mix of THEY CAME BACK and any one of the dozen or so Vampire series that have saturated screens both Big and Small for the past decade or so, IN THE FLESH nonetheless sometimes manages to be intriguing and poignant. The Institutionalization of The Rotters makes for some interesting (if not exactly always plausible) situations. (To be fair, we're talking about a Zombie teleshow. Whaddaya want, Billy Shakespeare...?) For Zombie completists, IN THE FLESH is worth the time and effort, but, for non-Zombieists, it might NOT be.

Thank goodness they made a second series,it made my day. If you are a true Zombie lover,and appreciate the original night of the living dead , Dawn of the dead. ( George a Romero ) 28 days later ( Danny Boyle ), You should get right into this. Really well written and acted, this series will take you on a great journey so different from other shows on right now. Not like your typical bloody gory movies , in saying that not yet who know's. What if you were brought back from the dead and put back in society , how would you cope.? And yet you know their is so much more to this as the story develops, With only 3 episodes in the 1st season , and I am 4 into the 2nd , the is really motoring along , i heard they just won the Bafta award for best series . Well deserved , i want to say so much more but then this will spoil it for you. So WATCH IT NOW !! MAD IF YOU Don't. Even if your not into zombies this show might really shock you.
