    I saw a trailer for the show on BBC Three, and it looked really good, the concept of zombie-reality really stood out to me. But sadly after watching the first episode i was really disappointed, it was like watching Big Brother but with "ZOMBIES". I was about to give up on the show, but I decided to watch the second episode, and it was so much better than the first, the missions kept me on the edge of my seat, the zombies gave me genuine shivers, so in conclusion, i would say that, the 1st episode was a serious let down, but don't judge the show after just one episode, the show improves, it delivers on every level,so ill give it and 08/10.

    I thought this would be quite entertaining but somehow they have produced a real turd of a show with absolutely nothing going for it whatsoever other than the concept.The show is filled with very stilted radio conversations between two people putting on their best serious voices. This is the British army who, in the midst of the apocalypse, have nothing better to do than shepherd some morons through their simplistic tasks. One was literally to find a photograph of themselves pinned onto a wall. Another was to climb over two ankle height pallets.To add to the dragging pace you've got Greg James, a presenter blessed with all the personality of a dial tone. His lame half-jokes are just shameful pap and filler. On the subject of filler there's also lots of shots of the zombies turning around, all four of them. And yet more filler! The PANTZ system is a "comical" government service message about zombies that is just tedious.I'm amazed they could take such a potentially entertaining concept and create such a leaden uninteresting load of rubbish. This really isn't worth watching.

    I was looking forward to the self proclaimed "scariest game show on TV" hoping for something a little more edgy than Big Brother with Zombies. Sadly this was all we got first episode, no element of danger, only one or two contestants taking it seriously at all and a pace so meandering I began to wonder whether my TV had frozen. Oh and Greg James(?)I'm still not sure why.On the plus side all the stars are for the make up which in some instances is genuinely terrifying, and the second episode was a lot more action packed. And the action was so funny I nearly spat my tea out. I will be giving the show a few more chances in the hopes that the show improves and gradually has the element of danger it purports to have in the ad.

    People have been comparing this show to Dead Set, its not, Dead Set had a sense of danger and panic. I realise this show is suppose to be tongue in cheek, however I expected the survivors to least act scared instead of laughing, smiling and talking about lady gaga. The zombies felt more like decorations then an actual threat. Although the makeup on said decorations was pretty good I liken them to the chickens on big brother. Something to cut to when the contestants were unbroadcastable, the zombies were FILLER. The filler kept at a nice safe distance whilst the survivors discussed their food preferences, I found the discussion about corn beef wonderfully thrilling (cant believe this show lasted an hour). The tasks felt stupid and unnecessary. In a post apocalyptic scenario I would not risk my life for 7 days usage of a pillow and a sleeping bag (first task). The environment felt too cushy, i don't think a zombie show works with a safe zone. If it were realistic the survivors would ration the water and go without food. If you like reality TV other shows do it better, the emotional and moral decay required to make this show interesting wont happen in such a short duration and with no incentive. Maybe if they were forced to compete for food or a prize...Sadly watching people work towards a common goal for mutual benefit with little adversity feels abit pointless.
