i am angry

I like it much better than The Walking Dead. It’s all about suspension of disbelief… It’s much easier to believe a parasite could affect the human race then the concept of zombies. No matter how much time I gave TWD, I couldn’t get past the zombie apocalypse theme. At least Brain Dead had a theme running parallel with current government mixed with humor, satire and (fairly) good writing.

So sorry this show is not being renewed. Love the story. Love the actors. Great ensemble. You care about the characters and that makes it a nail biter.

Loved the season! Please reconsider renewing the show.

Of course it wasn’t renewed. All good shows get the axe. The lame, tired cop and hospital show stay on for years! This is why I mostly watch Amazon, Netflix or HBO. There aren’t but two or three show on regular tv that are worthy of watching.

If Robert and Michelle King had a four-season plan for “BrainDead” which would have saw its future seasons take place in Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Hollywood, I think “BrainDead” should have become exclusive to CBS All Access (like that “The Good Wife” spin-off series that the Kings are also doing). Sorry that “BrainDead”‘s ratings and viewership were so low, and I actually skipped a couple of episodes.

Of course. Just because it was funny, well written and cast, etc.
I’m very sorry to see it go. I really enjoyed it and would love to see someone pick it up. I promise to keep watching.

The show was brilliant and funny. I’m not surprised it was a one-season deal, just disappointed. They did leave an opening for more shows, though, so maybe someday….

Not suprising that it wasn’t renewed, since it was billed from the start as a limited-run series. Limited-run (previously called a miniseries) means that there’s one season only, there was never going to be a second season.

Of course, sometimes if the ratings are good enough, the network will turn a limited-run series into an annual series. This almost always results in a disaster because the last few episodes get stretched out into another season or two, completely destroying the pace of the show. (See “Under the Dome” for a recent example.)

Literally, a NO BRAINER. It wasn’t the best summer show by far. Animal Kingdom was tremendous and Queen of the South was also better. Someone said Braindead was smart? It was too stupid for me.

The best summer show bar none and from what I’ve seen on CBS, better than most of their fall programing. A good satirical comedy that likely was too smart for most people

The cancellation is not surprising. Brain Dead was too smart for weekly network television. Under normal circumstances, I’d expect to see it picked up by Amazon Prime, Netflix, or some cable outlet. But the story line concentrated on the infestation of the bugs from outer space, so once their Queen was killed, it was done. Too bad, Mary Elizabeth Winstead was great and the up-to-the-minute nature of the political backdrop made a lot of fun. It was far better than I expected. But like Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip before it, it makes for great binge watching, so find… Read more »

Sorry to hear that. Loved the show.

Tragic… This was one of the good ones… Would’ve at least made a great addition to add to their failing OTT app, CBS ALL Access.

Too bad, Braindead was the best new show that came out over the summer. The acting was great and the comedy was hilarious. I especially liked the weekly musical recap.
