Randall-Flagg01 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 Couchpotatoes 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.

tr91 Although I'm fan of Big Brother, I have only just got round to watching Dead Set. I love the idea around this mini series and it turned out to be a great watch.The characters were likable and portrayed well, they was like proper housemates. Having Davina as the host also made it feel more real. The plot was great and progressed at a nice pace, leaving you wanting more after every episode had finished. This action was extremely fast paced and gory, there was also quite a lot of humour which I liked, it was just a good solid drama series in general. Jaime Winstone who played Kelly really stole the show, she was great.It was kept short and sweet with just 5 episodes, 4 of which were only 25 minutes. The set looked great and the zombies were very detailed. The action was thick and fast.The way it all ended might not be everyone's favourite but for me that was inevitable. Overall an extremely good series, better than I thought it would be. Would recommend it to anyone, although it isn't that scary.9/10.

skanklover_69 If you've watched every episode of The Walking Dead and seen all the quality zombie movies such as The Dawn of the Dead remake, Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland etc... and your wondering what's left. The answer is Dead Set.Imagine 28 Days Later the mini series and that just about sums it up. A zombie apocalypse breaks out in London in the midst of the production of the latest series of Big Brother. This premise allows for plenty of social commentary & biting satire. The BB director character Patrick is like David Brent from The Office but even more of a jerk. Hilarious. There is bitter sweet emotional drama too. The action is intense and frightening. Damn those fast zombies. They are stressful. Give me the slow American ones any day. Just kidding. Absolutely loved it! Check it out!
