I saw a trailer for the show on BBC Three, and it looked really good, the concept of zombie-reality really stood out to me. But sadly after watching the first episode i was really disappointed, it was like watching Big Brother but with "ZOMBIES". I was about to give up on the show, but I decided to watch the second episode, and it was so much better than the first, the missions kept me on the edge of my seat, the zombies gave me genuine shivers, so in conclusion, i would say that, the 1st episode was a serious let down, but don't judge the show after just one episode, the show improves, it delivers on every level,so ill give it and 08/10.

I was looking forward to the self proclaimed "scariest game show on TV" hoping for something a little more edgy than Big Brother with Zombies. Sadly this was all we got first episode, no element of danger, only one or two contestants taking it seriously at all and a pace so meandering I began to wonder whether my TV had frozen. Oh and Greg James(?)I'm still not sure why.On the plus side all the stars are for the make up which in some instances is genuinely terrifying, and the second episode was a lot more action packed. And the action was so funny I nearly spat my tea out. I will be giving the show a few more chances in the hopes that the show improves and gradually has the element of danger it purports to have in the ad.

The entire first episode was slow, contrived, unexciting and lacked any true gravitas. Maybe 5g rotting peoples minds has led to this ridiculously high rating. The zombies are slow and amble around lackadaisically, the 'survivors' can't spend more than about 5 minutes without giggling. Furthermore the story although far fetched seems the most believable part of this sordid pigs ear of a piece of zombie fiction. The web-comic which accompanies the first episode on the BBC website, even references Romero, though I find it hard to believe the director has watched and indeed absorbed any of that masterpiece with the way this has turned out. I found myself unable to watch the entire program, perhaps a format closer to that of the Crystal Maze would of suited this more? Why don't the survivors have any weapons? Where did the military go? If the extraction area was overrun why are the survivors heading there? You get no answers and only more questions. My hearty recommendation is to avoid this like the plague.

I have given this programme an 8/10.It has been a great start of the programme let alone I have only watched the first episode. This programme reminded me of a series called Dead Set. Not only it is a reality show. I liked how there are different types of people within the programme. There is another reason why I couldn't add another two stars because there was too much GCI within the transitions but other than that it looked great. The programme does have a comedy side to it and the programme is not predictable as well, which is good. I am looking forward to the next episode.
