What do you think? Do you like the Z Nation TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a second season?
Great show, WD lite, funny too. Different kinds of “Z’s”. Kids, a baby and a big he-man.
I loooove it!! My kind of stuff!!
Not ” The Walking Dead”
But I find myself waiting for episode 5
I actually like it . Characters growing on me.
I rate it a B-
Enjoy
Poor mans Walking Dead. A solid meh…
this show is brutally cheesy, if it gets a season 2 I wont be watching, wow is it awful
Give me a break. Cheesy? It’s great! Not too much “drama” but it’s a nice change from Walking Dead, not as much random talking and walking around…more action..the zombies actually look pretty good considering it’s low budget. The show is actually quite good for being a SCYFY show. I think people who hate on it, usually turn out being wanna be “critics” or people with the attention span of a gerbil.
Ok Syfy get it together, enough with the zombies, not impressed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really didn’t expect much more than this from SyFy. Much of what they have to offer is b-grade, at best and every year the new shows get worse and worse. I just don’t really know where to begin on how bad this show is. There are so many things to choose from that I’m overwhelmed! lol This show is almost like The Strain for me. Awful, awful, awful but I keep watching just to see how much worse it can get–and it doesn’t disappoint! William, I absolutely agree about DJ Qualls. I really like him and this is so… Read more »
Wow…so many clueless wanna be critics. What do you expect? The show is great for being Syfy. The acting is nowhere near as bad as people say it is and the details of the zombies are actually very good, aside from the stupid baby in the first episode. DJ is a great addition too and having him on the show as sort of a “captain” is an entertaining concept. What do you actually “hate” about the show? You just said how bad it is and how awful it is, but you haven’t said why? The acting is better than a… Read more »
Typical for syfy network. A real letdown.
Keep it going! Definitely RENEW!
I actually really love this show. Unlike how The Walking Dead has become Z Nation is mainly about zombie killing. I believe this show really has a lot of potential and can be great.
Terrible it is not worth my time left on earth.
I agree z nation sucks can’t wait for the walking dead to come back on four more weeks!!!!!!!
A crack addled special needs monkey could write, act, direct & produce a better show.
Why aren’t you writing it then? The writing doesn’t have to be top notch, but it still makes sense and it’s a fresh interesting change from The Walking Dead. I would say that only a crack addicted special needs monkey would bash the show.
The show is probably just not black and white enough for someone small minded to understand. Sometimes, for some people, It’s hard watching a show when it’s not dumbed down enough for them to understand and enjoy. I’m sure there are shows you could enjoy, like Honey Boo-Boo or Duck Dynasty.
Its not the writing(so much) its the acting and by extension – the directing. Its a Syfy plague, they need to hire quality Directors, stop going to the staff lunch room and volunteering people. Most of the actors in Syfy flicks I’ve seen in other productions act just fine. Its something wrong with the Syfy machine that causes the acting in their efforts to be so bad every time. I agree with much of the writing too – especially when it comes to the dialogue. And killing the best actor they hired for the show in the first episode made… Read more »
I know it’s only one episode so far. But I sat open mouthed at how bad it was. Terrible acting! Terrible writing! I suspect a quick demise.
agreed the action was terrible.. i was especially surprised by Harold Perrineau’s stale acting.. I really thought hed be better.. ill give it 2 more episodes though
I really have no interest in it, but I would love to see DJ Qualls get into something substantial. I really like him!
It’s pretty low budget feeling, doubt it will make it.
if it stays above a 0.3 rating and the season averages out to be a 0.4 then yes itll make it cause it is in fact a cheap show like you said…
I also believe dominion has a shot at being renewed but the huge question mark is if defiance will be renewed…
