wincesting An extraordinary sci-fi drama for the ages, In the Flesh turns a semi- ridiculous sounding premise into a brilliant, moving and powerful miniseries. I do not write reviews, but I felt like I had to for In the Flesh, because I am so concerned about whether or not it will get a third season. If this incredible show doesn't get a third series, I will be incredibly peeved as well as deeply saddened. What initially had me hooked was Kieren's character. The idea of softy zombies has always appealed to me, I was an absolute sucker for Warm Bodies. This is like Warm Bodies on steroids. The characters are brilliant and the dynamic relationships between each of them is captivating. The series is shocking, it is upsetting and deeply moving. I cried more than once watching it, and for different reasons. All of the actors are fantastic, and the plot in the pilot was intriguing, but is incredibly developed throughout the series. I honestly didn't think that I would be as captured as I am, but it is seriously bewitching. I loved the array of different personalities from the characters, as well as the dilemmas in each of their psyches. Jemima's struggle with loving her brother and hating the undead is one of the more appealing struggles in my opinion. As well, Kieren's struggle with his past and his resurrection add depth to his character that I latched on to. I really love Simon as well, his whole personality and his earnestness and his love for Kieren at war with his loyalty and affiliation to the anti-human contraband. Honestly, the whole show reminded me of X-Men, in a good way. All in all, it is a brilliant show, and I highly recommend it. It has me enchanted, and I will be extraordinarily unhappy and upset if it does not get reviewed for a third season. The writing is beyond excellent, and the direction, the cinematography is masterfully crafted and skillful and the whole production, down to the zombie makeup and the music, is fantastic. An excellent show, one that I will be willing to watch again. 10/10, for sure. Maybe even an 11.

arineat This show is one of the best I've seen in a very long time. The cast are amazing, the writing is complex, but not overly so, and, despite the series featuring zombies, it's very easy to relate to in real life. Issues like discrimination are tackled in an eye-opening way without being preachy. There's representation for the queer community, though again, the queer characters are not solely defined by their sexuality, nor does their characterisation hinge on it. The topics of depression, anxiety, self- worth, self-acceptance, and PTSD are explored in a meaningful and honest way. Add to that the drama of families regaining someone they'd lost and grieved for and you've got gold. I watched the entire series in just over a day and I'm dying for a third one. I can only hope that we've not seen the last of this world as it has so much to offer.

thalassa-90 This TV show is not like most of the movies featuring zombies. In the flesh is set after the apocalypse, where zombies can be treated and they can be a part of the society. The show focuses on the psychical damages of the treated zombies, how families deal with that they've got back their dead family members, the fear of the unknown and the discrimination. Sometimes it's very touching and makes you think about our society. The treated zombies behave just like other people, so don't expect too many brain eating walkers, like in walking dead. This show is not violent that way. But it shows us, that a zombie show doesn't have to be full of blood and brains.
