Admittedly, this series grabs your attention quickly because of its theme. This is the first zombie BL series I can recall being produced and it begins creatively enough. While I am not sure, it does seem patterned off “The Walking Dead” (which was a momentous production in the USA for years). It had hallmarks of the ambience and feel from that Homeric narration. Reminiscing, it harkened me back to the many nights I spent watching “The Walking Dead”, as it did seem to have referenced a lot of the cinematography and plot twists around that series. I was indeed a huge fan of that series until it got platitudinous. Unfortunately, this series suffered the same fate but of course at a much quicker pace. This series yo-yoed from being interesting to just downright doltish. So much time was wasted on going nowhere. There were a lot of very interesting characters in this series that could have enhanced the story or made it way more entertaining and dynamic but were underutilized with the whole story seemingly directionless and pointless. It was obvious a low-budget production because the zombies were rather hackneyed. They looked unconvincingly made-up for being ‘dead’ and frankly were not very gory or hideous. For zombies, they certainly could trodden fast. Ironically, the undead were not the cornerstone or the main culprits in this series. Other humans were, specifically the mercenaries, who were coming for the Immune. Regrettably the way the production chose to conclude this series is almost laughable. It became just a little too “Hollywood” and theatrical to be believable. I was so disappointed in the cliché and tropey ending. For me, the lessons learned not just about life but also about love were with and about the secondary couple; not the protagonists. Open your minds to their issues and do not automatically see them as nefarious. You will gain a better perspective of this series if you do that.
