The entire first episode was slow, contrived, unexciting and lacked any true gravitas. Maybe 5g rotting peoples minds has led to this ridiculously high rating. The zombies are slow and amble around lackadaisically, the 'survivors' can't spend more than about 5 minutes without giggling. Furthermore the story although far fetched seems the most believable part of this sordid pigs ear of a piece of zombie fiction. The web-comic which accompanies the first episode on the BBC website, even references Romero, though I find it hard to believe the director has watched and indeed absorbed any of that masterpiece with the way this has turned out. I found myself unable to watch the entire program, perhaps a format closer to that of the Crystal Maze would of suited this more? Why don't the survivors have any weapons? Where did the military go? If the extraction area was overrun why are the survivors heading there? You get no answers and only more questions. My hearty recommendation is to avoid this like the plague.
