Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Brandon Stephens This TV BBC Series stars: Luke Newberry who plays REN, Emily Bevan plays the quirky undead friend AMY, Steve Evets as anti-zombie activist BILL MACY and HELLRAISER II: HELLBOUND's Kenneth Cranham stars as the zombie hating VICAR ODDIE. This series about zombies has a whole new approach about the undead. It has a more intellectual approach than the current WALKING DEAD craze. I know I might catch some heat from that, but this script has more depth and you actually tend to care about even the smallest bit characters in this series. It doesn't focus on the brain and gut-munching that coincides with the typical needless zombie carnage, which may be quite off putting to fans of the gore.Another thing that sets this show apart is the subtle homosexual allegories, but I must say that it's not very obvious to blind eyes so to speak. A big part of the show is family acceptance, as the zombie characters have been reconditioned through medication to the best way possible rejoin their 'living' family and function back into society. There is a strong line of bigotry in the town and a refusal to accept the zombies. The town is portrayed as a bit hickish, so I feel this works with the gay-bashing backwoods town archetype. Mind you, the whole series isn't a anti-gay zombie kind of message. It's more about people and how "The Rising" has affected everyone human and zombie.Season 2 is supposedly in the works, but even without a follow up season this series puts out a big bang by itself and ends perfectly without any loose ends.The series is only a 3 episoder and has a runtime of 180 minutes, but for the short run of this season it crams a lot of heart and some very impressive zombie gore.

Ania I first heard of In the Flesh from Tumblr and I am incredibly happy to have found the show. I would say that this is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. In the Flesh not only provides an entertaining story filled with gripping story lines and interesting characters, but also shows a social commentary of the world we live in. I can not repeat enough how much I love Series 1 and Series 2. I think that Series 2, which has just finished, was perfect. The writing on this show is fantastic and you just want to continue to watch and re-watch. I sincerely hope that BBC Three decides to renew this show for another series. I have already ordered by box set for Series 1 and 2!!

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.

IgnisWolf \Going into this series i knew only one thing about this show and that was it had zombies in it and I needed something to tie me over until the next season of Walking Dead arrived. What i got was an emotional roller coaster which not only takes the typical zombie gore fest in a new and less mindless direction but provides an inescapable emotional roller coaster ride which i would highly recommend. The series focuses on Kieren Walker a recovering zombie who is placed back with his family and has to deal with his new condition as well as the prejudice and hate that comes from the accepting community around him. The concept itself is very interesting and many of the subjects it touches upon has real world and often very relative implications. In The Flesh is not a TV show to watch for mindless entertainment, it looks deeply at real world issues and can get quite dark, looking at ideas of prejudice, suicide, sexuality and extreme religious views. What ever you do don't watch In the Flesh for loads of gore or violence because you wont get much, however this I think serves the show well and its sparing use of violence and gore even more impact when situations do escalate to deadly results.Visually the show is a treat and beautifully shot, with excellent locations and a diverse range of settings its hard to falter the production values of this show. Acting is top notch and every cast member gives memorable performances and I think this is what really brings in the flesh to life. It creates these living breathing characters that you feel for and understand, which makes their problems even more relatable and interesting. I have to warn you though that this is not a feel good tap your heels and skip off into the sunset type of show and I often tell people that if you get into this show there will be more than a few tears shed by the end. To me this show has positioned itself quite comfort next to some of my favourite TV shows. Well worth a check out. Bring on Season 2 is all I can say!
