KristineNielsen This is completely horrible - but I cannot stop watching. This show has some the worst writing I have seen in a long time and it is so bad, that it is almost good. There are so many clichés and most of the time, you can guess exactly what is going to happen. The show is executed in a way that is so bad, that you find yourself laughing.The characters are just strange, the plot is even stranger and the dialogue, oh boy. Honestly, it is just stupid - but it is good if you just need something to watch. However, if you want to watch something that is exciting and actually well-written, then you do not want to watch this.

Leofwine_draca Review of Season One:Z NATION is a WALKING DEAD rip-off made by The Asylum, a notorious studio responsible for churning out rip-off movies and silly creature flicks chock-full of lame CGI and the like. On that basis, you wouldn't hold out much hope for this show, but it actually turns out to be pretty likable. I think it's fair to say that the occasional episode is better than some episodes of THE WALKING DEAD itself, although it can't hope to hold a candle to that show at its best.The thing Z NATION does right is the action. The producers know that viewers are looking for zombie action, so they deliver it in spades here. There are no slow spots, no time for contemplative reflection, just onslaughts of the living dead and battles between surviving factions. The characterisation and plotting is adequate rather than good, but the special effects are acceptable and there are some fun set-pieces, like the episode with the radioactive zombies. Plus, a high level of jokey humour, and the occasional inspired piece of casting (step up, DJ Qualls) make this something of a TV gem. I'm already gearing up for season two...Review of Season Two:Well, it had to happen, I suppose. There's been a noticeable drop in quality between season one of Z NATION and season two. This time around, it feels like the writers were really running out of ideas, thus they come up with some ridiculous single-themed episodes which are among the worst of the show. The one with the aliens (too many ingredients in the pot) and the one with George R. R. Martin are the ones that spring to mind.The show is still watchable with lively action and entertaining characters, but the driving plot line feels less focused and the lack of DJ Qualls for much of the running time is another disappointment. I also felt like the writers weren't sure what to do with Murphy, who is becoming something of an annoying presence (despite the good acting of Keith Allan) and sort of gets pulled from pillar to post throughout the series. With season three to follow, I wonder if they can return to the more simple but effective heights of the first season again, or if the drop in quality will continue.Review of Season Three:The drop in quality of this series continues with Season 3 of the show. This is the first one that I actively disliked and it's only the time I've already invested with the main cast that kept me watching. Essentially this is a series of vignettes with each vignette taking up a single episode. There is a long-running story arc but it gets increasingly ridiculous and Murphy has become a caricature by now. There are too many bizarre elements in the story and the show has become fantasy rather than horror with the zombies treated as figures of fun and barely featured at times.The actors playing the main characters, such as Kellita Smith, are still reliably good, but they're given little to do other than react to stuff and go through the motions. The story in this season adds in an annoying ginger kid and some sci-fi elements which don't really fit. Possibly the worst thing about the show is the need to stretch out the thin material to way too many episodes, leaving many of them filler. Will I tune in for Season 4? Watch this space...Review of Season Four:The fourth season is a step up from the last couple and one I actually found myself enjoying. There are still a few annoying filler episodes and lots of unfunny comedy, the nadir for example being the one with the Juggalos, but otherwise this is driven and exciting. I could have done without the CGI overload in the future visions but at least there's a story that drives onward and plenty of incident to recommend this show. You get guest stars like Michael Berryman and Henry Rollins and protagonists who continue to grow on you, somewhat endearingly, as the years roll by.

bshaef Znation is very well written and the actors, especially Doc and Murphy, are great. My favorite alltime scene was when the cheese wheel of zombies came rolling through town. I think that was in season 3. It takes a really inventive mind to create something like that. I also like Murphy's relationship with Lucy and shed a tear when she kicked the bucket. You can always leave it up to Doc to drop a couple of bon mots in each show. I look forward to watching the show every week and have never missed a minute. I used to think TWD was a better show but no more. Znation is better because it runs the gamut of emotions from silliness to terror. Give the writers an A+ as well as the actors.

karakoyunludeniz This show delivers what fans of the zombie genre want to see and it doesn't pretend to hide it; -Quick action. -Lots of zombies. -Constant danger. -No safe hideouts. -Having some FUN in the apocalypse.This show keeps the survivors active and running. Stories take up an episode, instead of a season, meaning they may lack in depth, but give more satisfaction per episode. With challenging obstacles, the characters are smart as you would expect of survivors of a zombie apocalypse.The acting is solid, with some more-known names like DJ Qualls and Harold Perrineau (1), together with a lot of fresh blood. In this show we see better dialogue between a guy and a dog than other shows create between a father and son.Characters are diverse to keep interest, but aren't forced. They get enough screen time as their own, instead of supporting roles.The show pokes a bit of fun at the zombie genre by creating zombie- babies, zombie-dogs, runners, and floaters, which keeps the blood pumping.
