Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I have to say I wasn't really expecting much from the show but I was interested to see what it was like. About 4 episodes into the first season I had to ask myself should I keep watching this? Glad I did. After watching 4 seasons I'm really looking forward to more! You should give this show a chance!

I binged through this series in about a week, and I loved it (almost) every step of the way. The first three seasons were gifts from gods, with good and hilarious characters, a nice plot, and great mini-stories almost every episode.The first season was great. I was very disappointed in Garnett dying so soon, but Warren growing into the lead character was great. This season also had some pretty damn dark shit in just one episode (Season 1 Episode 3, Philly Feast) that it's, lack of a better term, competitor Walking Dead hasn't gone to those levels (in my opinion at least). I also liked the Sisters of Mercy (Season 1 Episode 11) in not just the episode but the community. It was serene and beautiful.Season Two was another great season. I LOVED the Red Hand. A group that punished people who wronged others... I love it! I also liked the Zeros. A post-apocalyptic drug cartel seems nice and realistic. The way it ended also really set up for Season Three.Season Three... the best of the four seasons of Z Nation. Great plot, some of the best episodes, amazing villains (The Man, and Murphy for a large chunk of it). I loved that Murphy became an antagonist and really surprised me. Personally, I didn't see him as an antagonist. He was trying to save people, but not going the best way around it (Kinda like my opinion on the Saviors in The Walking Dead). The Man was also a great antagonist. I just don't know why, but I just loved him.Season 3 also had a lot of great episodes. The Election, No Mercy, Everybody Dies In The End, and, my favorite episode of Z Nation to date, The Siege of Murphytown. ("Come to papa, you half-breed sons of bitches!") Season 4... needless to say was disappointing. Had a good ending and promising start, but just wasn't good in the end. Sergeant Lilley was just a wannabe Addy who good or funny at all. And Addy... her eye wound was never explained, and it has bugged me ever since I saw she lost it. Season 5 will hopefully bring a lot of answers and good episodes to the table. If you haven't watched this show, YOU NEED TO WATCH IT! I highly recommend it.

Having watched all 4 seasons, I can say this is way more entertaining that TWD is. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a TWD fan, but the recent seasons have been a bit of a snooze-fest. Z Nation doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's what makes it so good. Despite the sometimes gratuitous zombie-killing scenes, and the ludicrous types of zombies the group encounters, the show still manages to have compelling characters that keep it highly entertaining. It's really everything a zombie show needs!After watching the first two seasons I could say that if you're looking for a complex and compelling storyline, TWD is better. But after watching the next two seasons, I really can't remember being that entertained by TWD. They develop more of a story that befits its ScyFY channel origin (it does become more sci-fi towards season 4), and it doesn't really compare to TWD genre-wise anymore. If you're looking for an entertaining, kinda-morbid zombie fest with surprisingly compelling characters which develop really well in the later two seasons, this is the series for you. I went from hating Murphy to loving him; that's how satisfying his character progression was. It's way more nuanced than I expected without being too grim or serious. Can't wait for season 5!

I'm writing this to warn you about this dreadful piece of garbage. I was looking forward to watch this, I'm a huge zombie genre fan and I love a good scare. I enjoy watching blood, gore, horror and thrilling movies and series, so I was pretty exited to watch this.I gave this series a few try's and every time I did I started cringing and was irritated over the lack of ambition and bad acting. I mean a zombie baby??!! I was so shocked over the bad special effects and CGI.The story is not that bad, I have to admit that, but that's it. This needs better acting, better effects and you need to turn down the blood festival.
