This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Better Late Then Never

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

After watching all 9 episodes of this series yesterday, I am now left with an empty feeling that can only be filled by re-watching the show, and looking at (and creating my own) fan works.WARNING: The show mentions depression, PTSD, suicide and self harm. If you find any of those things extremely triggering then approach the show with caution. Mentions in series 1 are stronger than in 2...Other than that, I cannot recommend this programme any more! It's perfection for many reasons. The story line is interesting and keeps you on the edge of your seat at all times. It's easy to follow and still has so much potential. Quite a few things have been left unexplained, but I am hopeful for a 3rd series that will tie up most of it. The protagonist is gay, but the writer has not treated his character any differently to the others. Often, when a non-hetero character is written the story lines revolves around their orientation or they are a minor character that were included to keep the non-hetero viewers happy. Keiren however, is just like anyone else -- a regular teenage boy. There should be more TV shows that write their non-hetero characters this way and don't take away from the storyline.Furthermore, the gay relationship is shown like any other hetero relationship. This is not a show about gay people, it's about "partially dead" people (zombies) who are trying to fit back into an xenophobic society. I cannot credit this enough!That brings me onto my next point: xenophobia! This topic is strong throughout the show, right from the onset. It really demonstrates how society acts when they are faced with something new that they don't understand. It makes you think about racism in today's world.All mentions of depression, ptsd, suicide and self-harm are so accurate. I found 3 of the four things above quite triggering, but I really respect how they were written. They were't exaggerated or undermined in anyway and I could relate really well.All in all, this is a brilliant show that deserves a 10/10 rating and more series to come. I am hopeful for more of this beautiful masterpiece.

If you are looking for high levels of carnage and violence with little backstory or character appreciation and development, this show is not for you. Similarly, you will not enjoy this show if you find certain forms of love distasteful.If you want characters who you are going to love and hate, who are a little messed up and dealing with it, who can choose to change or stay stubbornly steadfast. If you want some meaning with your undead, something raw and real and fantastic - this is the show for you.This is not a Walking Dead, end-of-days tale of an infectious epidemic that finds hope only in the form of a bullet and a fate worse than death at a bite."In The Flesh" is strife and horror at the hands of those closest to you. It's finding safety in people you just met and spite in the town you once called home. It's where the most monstrous are the ones who've been Living all along.

\Going into this series i knew only one thing about this show and that was it had zombies in it and I needed something to tie me over until the next season of Walking Dead arrived. What i got was an emotional roller coaster which not only takes the typical zombie gore fest in a new and less mindless direction but provides an inescapable emotional roller coaster ride which i would highly recommend. The series focuses on Kieren Walker a recovering zombie who is placed back with his family and has to deal with his new condition as well as the prejudice and hate that comes from the accepting community around him. The concept itself is very interesting and many of the subjects it touches upon has real world and often very relative implications. In The Flesh is not a TV show to watch for mindless entertainment, it looks deeply at real world issues and can get quite dark, looking at ideas of prejudice, suicide, sexuality and extreme religious views. What ever you do don't watch In the Flesh for loads of gore or violence because you wont get much, however this I think serves the show well and its sparing use of violence and gore even more impact when situations do escalate to deadly results.Visually the show is a treat and beautifully shot, with excellent locations and a diverse range of settings its hard to falter the production values of this show. Acting is top notch and every cast member gives memorable performances and I think this is what really brings in the flesh to life. It creates these living breathing characters that you feel for and understand, which makes their problems even more relatable and interesting. I have to warn you though that this is not a feel good tap your heels and skip off into the sunset type of show and I often tell people that if you get into this show there will be more than a few tears shed by the end. To me this show has positioned itself quite comfort next to some of my favourite TV shows. Well worth a check out. Bring on Season 2 is all I can say!

In The Flesh did something most series or movies can't do to me: it actually caught my attention, it motivated me to stay with my eyes glued to the screen and even go back when I didn't pay attention for a minute.The thing I like most about this series is that it doesn't portray "zombies" as other productions. They're not the cruel creatures that come to kill you, even though they can be like that in their most primitive stages. Those who have the so called PDS are as rational or emotional as anyone who hasn't died before.The fact that the protagonist is one of the "zombies" makes it more interesting, for we see their suffering from their own point of view, we feel their struggles to overcome the prejudice that targets them and to deal with the bad they involuntarily did.With its moral questions, innovative plot and entertaining production, In The Flesh is definitely a must see. The only reason I didn't give it a higher rating is that it hasn't yet answered many questions I have, but I trust that new seasons will come and bring the required information.
