oliverjayaaby Let's start by not comparing it to any other Z-related series out there. Both in the US and Worldwide.This is the Z-series, that takes it all. Start off with a very well-casted crew, that instantly connects and make it feel authentic. All through the show - even when certain characters like the first dominant male character dies, the show doesn't die.New characters are as well-casted as the dead and those who are still alive - NON-BORING. Each character has their own charm.So... are you interested in a non-milked Z-series? Look no further. If you are a open-minded person, who's open to new impressions - this is definitely gonna get you entertainment in the long run.Enjoy!

christiangolz In relation to TWD, just a disapointment but pretty solid series, can but u havent to watch.

Leofwine_draca Review of Season One:Z NATION is a WALKING DEAD rip-off made by The Asylum, a notorious studio responsible for churning out rip-off movies and silly creature flicks chock-full of lame CGI and the like. On that basis, you wouldn't hold out much hope for this show, but it actually turns out to be pretty likable. I think it's fair to say that the occasional episode is better than some episodes of THE WALKING DEAD itself, although it can't hope to hold a candle to that show at its best.The thing Z NATION does right is the action. The producers know that viewers are looking for zombie action, so they deliver it in spades here. There are no slow spots, no time for contemplative reflection, just onslaughts of the living dead and battles between surviving factions. The characterisation and plotting is adequate rather than good, but the special effects are acceptable and there are some fun set-pieces, like the episode with the radioactive zombies. Plus, a high level of jokey humour, and the occasional inspired piece of casting (step up, DJ Qualls) make this something of a TV gem. I'm already gearing up for season two...Review of Season Two:Well, it had to happen, I suppose. There's been a noticeable drop in quality between season one of Z NATION and season two. This time around, it feels like the writers were really running out of ideas, thus they come up with some ridiculous single-themed episodes which are among the worst of the show. The one with the aliens (too many ingredients in the pot) and the one with George R. R. Martin are the ones that spring to mind.The show is still watchable with lively action and entertaining characters, but the driving plot line feels less focused and the lack of DJ Qualls for much of the running time is another disappointment. I also felt like the writers weren't sure what to do with Murphy, who is becoming something of an annoying presence (despite the good acting of Keith Allan) and sort of gets pulled from pillar to post throughout the series. With season three to follow, I wonder if they can return to the more simple but effective heights of the first season again, or if the drop in quality will continue.Review of Season Three:The drop in quality of this series continues with Season 3 of the show. This is the first one that I actively disliked and it's only the time I've already invested with the main cast that kept me watching. Essentially this is a series of vignettes with each vignette taking up a single episode. There is a long-running story arc but it gets increasingly ridiculous and Murphy has become a caricature by now. There are too many bizarre elements in the story and the show has become fantasy rather than horror with the zombies treated as figures of fun and barely featured at times.The actors playing the main characters, such as Kellita Smith, are still reliably good, but they're given little to do other than react to stuff and go through the motions. The story in this season adds in an annoying ginger kid and some sci-fi elements which don't really fit. Possibly the worst thing about the show is the need to stretch out the thin material to way too many episodes, leaving many of them filler. Will I tune in for Season 4? Watch this space...Review of Season Four:The fourth season is a step up from the last couple and one I actually found myself enjoying. There are still a few annoying filler episodes and lots of unfunny comedy, the nadir for example being the one with the Juggalos, but otherwise this is driven and exciting. I could have done without the CGI overload in the future visions but at least there's a story that drives onward and plenty of incident to recommend this show. You get guest stars like Michael Berryman and Henry Rollins and protagonists who continue to grow on you, somewhat endearingly, as the years roll by.

sandowl This is fun. Full stop.It is a giggle, a bit of drama and a lot of zombie killing.Give it a shot. It's not The Walking Dead and thank goodness for thatHope it continues into at least a fifth season.Thanks for the fun SyFy!
