Freakish

I would describe this as Breakfast Club meets 28 Days Later. High school drama with light humor meets apocalypse. . It is predictable, but I enjoyed it enough to keep watching.. even if the acting feels too scripted.

Really enjoyed this show. Some really fun scares, definitely targeted for a younger audience I think, but good zombies and tension. All around just a fun world to live in. I think it's a rip-off of another show, but what isn't these days. Definitely has a great hook to it and keeps your attention from episode 1. Nothing groundbreaking, but definitely fun.

I entered this show completely blind without having seen so much as a synopsis. And though the situation initially seems intriguing, it quickly devolves into a Walking Dead copy, complete with zombies making those annoying screechy raaaar sounds.. though since all modern zombies (sadly even in the Resident Evil 2 game remake) sound like that I guess audiences approve. Nitpicking aside... my greater complaint is that the teens don't feel like teens. They are written as being very dramatic with deep depth and have far more emotional wisdom and intelligence than they should. Maybe you disagree, I leave that to you. The other issue, and I have this issue with all zombie media today (they are all seemingly carbon copies of one another) is that the zombies are of no threat. The first one we meet is easily dispatched by an unarmed teenager. This doesn't make your villain feel threatening.. of course like all other zombie media, they barely play a role in this. It is more about the "teen drama".

This is a great show. It has horror and suspense elements but unlike many shows alike, it is still somewhat believable but doesn't take itself too seriously. The cast does their job well and the effects work.

Great balance between shock value, comedy, and romance. The social media influencers did an excellent job with the acting (much better than I would have dared to expect). The dynamic between characters is great, and I found myself instantly wanting to watch the next episode at the end of each one (perfect for binge watching).
