[Television] Fear The Walking Dead - Season 1

Right so I didn't do a post episode per episode because I wasn't sure how this series was going to be. Low and behold I watched the whole series in one sitting - I was hooked. All six episodes smashed in one go.

It's based in the same universe as The Walking Dead but from the beginning. I love this because in the Walking Dead with Rick being in a coma we were thrown straight into the apocalypse. With is series we see how things started and how the military tried to get involved. It's interesting to see reactions and what people would do to survive. It makes you seriously think about what you would do at the start of the apocalypse.

Would you believe it?
Would you think the army could control it?
Would you think the government had your best interests at heart?
How far would you go to protect your family?
What possessions would you want to save?

It's brilliant and thought provoking.

Many reviews said it was slow but to me that shows lack of imagination and lack of patience. Slow is good, it's real. Life is not constant action and this is based on what REAL people would do.

Brilliant stuff. No spoilers here. Cool.

[Television] Z Nation - Season 1, Episode 8.

SPOILERS

As the heard, or zunami, passes through the nearest town the gang hold up in a mortuary. The zombies are trying awfully hard to get in so their only option is to hide in the morgue fridges. They break in and slowly pass through.

Murphy has recently realised he can walk amongst the dead without fear of getting eaten, he apparently does not give off the same smell as the normal human would. As the gang are waiting for freedom, Murphy goes looking for some supplies.

Citizen Z aka Simon, has a weird hallucination of a Russian astronaut crashing to his base from the International Space Station, turns out the madness was actually a strange way of his subconscious telling him that he and his dog were lacking oxygen - the dog is thankfully okay and I sighed with relief.
Citizen Z refers to the year '3AZ' so we now know it has been 3 years since the outbreak.

No sign of Addy and her boyfriend.

[Television] Z Nation - Season 1, Episode 7.

Bit of a slower episode, the gang finds a group of people out in Kansas who believe they are completely separate from the zombies as all of the 'z's have headed to the cities'. They're in search for a new car but they have to win their way to a new super gun through a zombie shooting range, a gun that they then hoped to swap for a decent vehicle. Addy and her boyfriend get separated from the others as a massive zombie hoard is headed their way - a 'zunami'. Zombies started filtering through and now it's time to get the hell out of there.

[Television] Z Nation - Season 1, Episode 6.

The team whole up in what seems to be a sanctuary until a religious nut ruins everything by claiming the apocalypse is the second coming and believe that zombies are the 'resurrected'. Murphy almost saves the day which ends up in an untimely death of one of our favourite  characters.

[Television] Z Nation - Season 1, Episode 5.

The team cut short with the chopper and end up residing in Roberta's pre-apocalypse house. This is due to a freak storm on the way and the group need shelter immediately. Roberta is giving it everything she has in trying to find her husband.

Murphy gets a new haircut, but could this be the start of a possible liability?
