First aired: September 21, 2017.
What do you think? Do you like the Zoo TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
This series is one of the best on TV. Unusual it may be, but it holds your interests and leaves you waiting for the next episode. Do not cancel this show.
I just love the plane. I want to live on that plane.
This series has been renewed for a 3rd season. Bizarre and illogical as the episodes are this series keeps the viewers’ interest. Now we have our characters on the hunt for a sabre-toothed tiger, a jelly fish that cleans bones, a renegade biologist, sloths that cause earthquakes. It can’t get any better than this.
And the beat goes on, I can’t see what other foolishness that can come up with. Why did Nora Arnezeder leave the show, she was the class of the characters?
Since plesiosaurs were mentioned in last night’s episode who knows what other animals the writers will come up with. I just hope the writers don’t go down the path of rampaging dinosaurs
I liked the 1st season, but this season has dissolved into a bunch of emotional wrecks. Most of the show evolves around personal crisis, it’s draining.
What really stood out in this season were the episodes where Jamie was lost in New Brunswick. The editors really didn’t do their job because the mountains visible in some of the shots are definitely not found in New Brunswick- BC yes.
This show is a joke , story line jumps all over the place , random things just occur to make the story line so unbelievable it’s more like a bad comady script . I’m continuing to watch it just to see how bad it gets , maybe that’s what there hoping so this brutal show stays on the air . Please do everyone a favor and cancel this junk . Or it might not be able to be cancelled because they will just hack into the ratings and make it the most watched show ever , seeing how they can… Read more »
I think the show’s “weirdness” makes it entertaining. We have earthquake causing sloths, ants that electrocute people, lizards that cause deep freezes, jellyfish that clean bones, etc.
Renew
Great show..good acting..lots of action..I call that entertainment..thankyou
Episode 4 has a death. I hope this character has not been killed off. So far, this season is better than last.
I really like the show and now so does my daughter. hope it keeps going
This show is a joke. There are so many things wrong with it. I think they accidently hired comedy writers this year. I liked it last year even if it was fall out there. This year is like big joke. I sit and point out all the errors to my husband and then say I can’t believe it so much I ending up laughing. Ants are so smart they can get into a factory and the people trying to stop the run away so new people figure out how to work everything in the plant to save themselves and others.There… Read more »
Not to mention in the first episode of season two ( I think it was the first episode, anyway…), the large-looming physics liberties they take. The most horrible one being that they drive a Jeep onto a jumbo jet’s ramp, just as the jet begins to take off. That means that the Jeep had to have been driving between 250-300 miles per hour. That is one powerful Jeep! The writers take so many liberties that it sucks any trace of plausibility right out of it, leaving the viewer to ask, “What’s the point?”.
You’ve got that right! Anyone who thinks this show is amazing has already had a frontal lobotomy. You have to suspend all intelligent thought to sit through these completely implausible scene. Like shooting a fire extinguisher results in a fire ball…hahaha that’s hilariously ridiculous. Or that a person only notices something is wrong when they see they are leaving a blood trail, and then proceeds to pull out a 3″ nail from their foot they hadn’t felt earlier. Not to mention that she out ran a bison which can run far faster than the best Olympic sprinter, and two wolves.… Read more »
I’m sure you watch more exciting shows like the Kardashians! Some of us enjoy the science part of it and are tired of the same old story lines.
No I don’t watch the Kardashians, never have, because I don’t like fake implausible storylines. It obviously doesn’t take much to excite a simple intelect though, so I can see why you’re enthusiastic about this series. The objection to this series has to do with the utter implausibility of the scenes in this story line and the bad directing. If you actually liked the science part of a series, as you claim…hahaha… you’d be disgusted with this misrepresentation of science in every form. Science fiction must be plausible in the world and time frame it is depicted in, this series… Read more »
Don’t watch the show if you think there is so much wrong with it.
It’s different and I like it.
I watched season 1 and thought I remembered liking “Zoo”. Watched the premier of season 2 and remembered why I thought it sucked so horribly. About a trillion things going on, but only one or two of those things have any relevance to the story… which ultimately goes nowhere. But, if I choose to overlook that fact, the show then hits us with stinky physics for the sake of telling a story. Without giving away too much, while giving an example of their stinky physics, just consider the speed of a land vehicle versus the speed of a jetliner. Then… Read more »
I watched the promos and I don’t think having human being infected with the same virus is the best route to go. I think the writers should have stayed closer to the ending of the book for Season 2. Next Tues is the first episode of Season 2.
I like the series because its entertaining not because I am an advocate of animal rights or any leftwing fringe think tank.
Hellooooo, I watch tv to be entertained period. If and when I want to be involved thats my prerogative not yours.
What a great show! I hope it comes back! Please renew!
