A nice zombie drama but nothing more
I heard a lot about "All of us are dead" and my expectations were indeed in the drama. However, I think it's not a memorable drama: it was nice to watch, there was some suspense, some gore but the story is really very (too?) basic.I would even say that there are quite a few inconsistencies in the writing... but that's not disturbing since it's not meant to be a deep drama and known for being intelligently written.
What I liked:
- The suspense left in each episode: very good endings each time that make you want to know what happens next.
- The special effects: zombies, sets, make-up, framing, editing.
- The fact that we get to know the different characters as they are really in danger.
- Being able to skip the long, uninteresting scenes and still understand the drama without being lost.
What I didn't like:
- The fact that we don't feel any sympathy for the characters who have been harassed and that they are the real black beasts: why?
- Moments in the script that don't make sense: characters who take actions for nothing and the show tries to justify it but it's not coherent. Many questions that remain unanswered and yet are central to the drama? The explanations of the origin of the virus and its evolution given by the scientist are vague, incoherent and really, we have the impression to be taken for fools.
- We follow several people at the same time, some of whom have no interest whatsoever? We focus 3 halves of the episode on characters who don't exist anymore right after and yet, they don't die... they are just erased from the scenario?
- Unnecessary scenes too long
To sum up, watchable and enjoyable but don't expect it to be the drama of the century as some people say! Have fun!

It's extremely difficult to rate this drama.
Strong points that I loved:- Good actors (all of them.)
- The FX are magnificent
- Colours, contrasts, saturation: the photography of the film
- The costumes
- The moral: you have to keep dreaming even when if you are an adult
- The objective: to denounce school bullying
Weaknesses
- Sometimes a bit long for really futile things
- The ending is a bit too open for my taste and doesn't explain a quarter of the drama.
Good drama but not the best.

Some like, some hate, some moderately liked:I went through these three opinions
Honestly, it's very hard to review this drama because the opinions are very clear-cut: either we loved it, or we liked it a little, or we absolutely hated it.Personally, I went through all these opinions while watching this drama.
I hated it:
- From the middle to the end of the story. It doesn't make sense anymore, we could finish the drama at episode 12
- The acting of the main actress, which sometimes is really bad. However, we see a real evolution of her acting in the drama. She is good at the end hm.
- The 15 min rewinds before each episode.
I loved it:
- The main actor is really excellent. I really didn't think he was great at the beginning but he is just made for this job and this role.
- The beginning of the story : I think the main plot is really good but the explanations are too bad.
- The fact that sometimes I was surprised and/or sad: some scenes really gave me chills etc.
- The FX but woooooooooow. The work of the artists is impressive!
Basically I wanted to put 5 but in truth I still had a good time and not listening to other reviews, this note is personal and only based on my feeling! The drama itself is not worth 7. I would not watch it again but I still wanted to finish this drama.
