What a great zombie movie (actually a 5 part series). Pros: gorecharacters you care aboutgreat overall ideatensiongood jump scaresCons: fast zombies, but hey, they work herethe Patrick character is way over the top. I get that's what they were going for but I would have shot the bastard.

The reason I checked this out was the man who created it (Charlie Brooker) also created Black Mirror, an anthology series I really enjoy, and to be honest, I was kinda disappointed. Now I isn't the worst series I've ever seen, it's actually pretty decent (the I episode being Episode 2) I didn't care about the majority of the characters, the only one I remotely cared about was Kelly. The first episode spent a little too much time on the reality show, to the point where I felt like it was bogged down by it, now while there were a couple sequences that were thrilling, but one of the worst things of the series is whenever there's an action scene (or any intense scenes there is) the camera shakes so much that I'm more distracted than in the edge of my seat (there was even shaky cam when a zombie was just simply in a pool) and the characters didn't receive much development. So overall, if you're looking for a fun, entertaining zombie series, I would say give it a go, but don't expect too much

When I read what it was about I thought "not a zombie series again please". And when I read it was going to be in a Big Brother house I was really skeptical because is there anything more boring to watch then Big Brother or any other reality show. Wannabe attention seekers that want their minutes of fame, I still don't get why so many people watch those kind of meaningless shows. So yes, I was very skeptical before starting watching Dead Set. And I must admit, after seeing the whole show in one day, that it is way better then that disastrous series called The Walking Dead. Okay maybe some of the actors from Dead Set are as annoying as all the actors of The Walking Dead but that's only because their role is to play a Big Brother candidate and it's a fact that those kind of people are boring to watch. So they actually did a great job with their respective performances. Another difference between Dead Set and The Walking Dead is that in Dead Set the zombies are actually dangerous. They are fast, not like the turtles from The Walking Dead. The horror details are very gory and well done, much better then in The Walking Dead. So in fact, everything about this show is better then in The Walking Dead. But the biggest difference between the American and the British zombie show is that the British one is short, to the point, and easy to watch. The American show is boring, never-ending and completely pointless to watch. Long live the British series. They exactly know how to make a good show unlike the Americans that try to milk out every series until the last drop.

Couple of nights ago i was trying to find a zombie TV show and came across this.Looked on IMDb,this show got 8.0 rating.I thought, OK i could give it a try, after all 8 is not bad at all.some other TV shows that i actually like had the same rating or even worse then this one.I'll start this review saying that this show does not deserve such a high rating.Not at all.What is good in this show-they portrayed well those big brother contestants.Performances are OK,plot too,could pass,although it doesn't develop much. We never get to know why does this outbreak happen-is this a virus?experiment?how is it going to end?nope.no answers there.That's what i really hated about this show.It seems to me,that this show was so pointless.From the first to the last episode we only get to see how they are all being overwhelmed by zombies.No one is being saved.Nobody survived.They all turned into zombies.And at the end of the show you get the feeling that the entire population is dead and there is nobody alive.OK but give us some answers.What is with that french voice from the radio?what did it say?i mean come on what is the purpose to make a show where we are only going to see how the last 6 people on the planet are being killed and turned into zombies?what is the point.i don't see one. I was annoyed with many more things in this show but i'll name here only couple more -ok zombies are in this flick represented like sprinters-and somehow they can't get out of the small swimming pool?no sense there.and it seems they can't really get over fence ,only there are like 20000 of them at the gates and it seems they can't knock it down? -there is a zombie outbreak of some kind and immediately everybody loses phone signal?why?maybe wires caught the virus too I could go on but no point there.This one is just bad flick.You would want to pass it,unless you like seeing pointless TV show about zombies running around and killing everybody.I don't recommend it.
