Black Summer

I hesitated to watch Black Summer on Netflix at first, because I thought it was just another zombie TV show, and I was getting tired of the whole zombie thing, overall. But I recently saw it, and I'm glad I did, because Black Summer is very good.

Taking place in the opening days of a zombie outbreak, Black Summer is a supercharged race for survival just as society starts breaking down around the characters. It's gripping, fast-paced, and (unlike other shows) doesn't get rid of the zombie threat in exchange for lame soap opera. There are no scenes of interest for "those of us," but Black Summer is still an enjoyably scary ride. Recommended.
