About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a zombie story focused on reintegration, prejudice, and relationships more than constant gore, with a distinctly British tone; Not for you if you want nonstop carnage or simple scares like Dead Set.
Pros: fresh zombie premise; thoughtful social themes; gripping emotional drama | Cons: pacing feels stretched; some predictability; uneven character appeal
