Review of Bite Me

Bite Me (2010–2012)
3/10
Skip this, very forgettable.

Warning: Spoilers
I won't go too deep into this but this is a terrible show. For no second do I buy the premise that (spoiler alert) only video game players are capable of killing zombies because they take advice from video games and that (spoiler alert) at the end of season 2 the military takes orders from a bunch of misfits. I mean, come on, this is the real world and that just insults the intelligence of any human being. I also don't buy the romance that develops between Shawna and Jeff or the friendship that develops between Derrick and the rest of the group. Another thing that I found annoying was that the episodes were only 10 minutes give or take, this makes the story for each episode very forgettable and rushed.

I've seen shows on the internet that are very good but don't succeed because of the limited budget or limited exposure. This is a show that isn't good but has good exposure on Machinima, which targets mainly the video game crowd. Ultimately this show is cheesy, and I still don't understand if it's trying to embrace its "cheesiness" or take itself seriously. If it embraced its "cheesiness" I have a feeling I would be more entertained, but how do you make something cheesy in a zombie apocalypse which clearly touches upon the theme of life and death and survival?
