BLACK SUMMER (2019)
Summary:
Zombie outbreak!! It’s modern day, it’s a zombie show, so you already know the gist. Now, what makes this one different and fun, it’s that anyone who dies turns into a zombie, not just people who were bitten. Oh and they turn into zombies in literal seconds, so if your dad gets shot, you just gotta leave that hoe, run! The show doesn’t reallllyyy have a main character, it is one of those with a broken storyline so you can see the same moments over and over but from different perspectives every chapter. Oh it has chapters, named accordingly so you can keep up. In short: everyone is trying to reach a safe zone that is government protected, it is called “the stadium”. All the characters eventually meet or cross paths, and they all work together to reach the meetup spot. Loses are had on the way. It will all give you anxiety, but the fun kind!
Review:
This is one of those shows that you will probably stay up till 6am to finish, that’s what I did. Black Summer is the blueprint for cliffhangers. Every single episode. Is it the most amazing show ever? Nah, the acting could be better and the characters are a lil stupid but it makes for an interesting watch. It can be funny sometimes, it can be scary, even heartwarming, but definitely very dramatic, an emotional soufflette, if you will. I like that we get to see many different settings throughout the show. Fun dialogue and generally what you can expect from a zombie show at it’s core. I watched it twice. 2 seasons, 8 episodes each.
Cons: mid acting, personally I find 2 characters unbearable, but overall I really had fun with this one so I can’t think of other cons.
Score: 7.5/10
