LeightonJames Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I'm actually looking forward to watching this show.
L3OUGH Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Hmm when does this kick off? I was unaware of this show! Who reckons it's going to be like 'The Walking Dead' or attempt to be as good as that?
6Foot2 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Posted March 4, 2013 Hmm when does this kick off?... More information: Link: BBC Three - In The Flesh, In The Flesh Trailer: Enter Kieren's world [No scheduling data yet] Note: BBC warning: Upsetting scenes in this clip.
L3OUGH Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Hmm, still looks worth the watch! To at least give it ago anyway.
witch Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 10pm March 17th. It is a bit of a different storyline as they manage to "cure" zombies

witch Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) So..what did you think @DaveP? I wasn't hugely impressed for a lot of it and then it slowly began to grow on me. I thought Kieran's parents were remarkably calm about their son returning especially as he committed suicide as well as being undead. I liked the twist with the character whose wife came back. I think it will be worth watching next week Edited March 18, 2013 by witch
EvLPhenom Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Wasn't very impressed with it. I thought it would be like The Walking Dead type of show but wasn't expecting the whole cure the zombie type thing and was a little disapointed. May give it another chance and hope it grows on me.

I second this! I was expecting something along the lines of The Walking Dead. Hay-ho. But yes, pretty disappointed, it's only 3 episodes long as well...
6Foot2 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 So..what did you think @DaveP?... I wasn't hugely impress I am afraid [i would go so far as to say I was a little disappointed] I will watch it again as I wasn't able to concentrate on it fully last night. Perhaps it will improve with a second viewing?
LeightonJames Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I forgot this was on. I'll give it a whirl on th'iPlayer
LeightonJames Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Watched Episode 2 lat night. Will see this through to the end but it's not all that to be honest. Shame on you BBC for ruining a very good genre.
witch Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 It was a bit sloppy I thought. For example, if the sufferers have lost all the colour in their skin and eyelashes, wouldnt they have lost the colour in their hair as well? Would Amy have hair if she died of leukaemia? And even if she didn't have chemo, sufferers usually lose a lot of weight before they die - she looks pretty solid to me. The sudden acceptance of the rotters by the town seems a bit iffy too - why hasnt anything been done about the shooting of the old lady? They seemed so anti and now it is OK? I get that Rick didn't eat local people but even so... If they don't eat - how are they surviving? Why are their guts rotten and not the rest of them? So many questions... Still, I thought it was at least a different take on the genre and it could be worked up into something good. How they are going to sort it or come to some sort of conclusion in only one more episode I can't imagine.
6Foot2 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Forgot to watch it last night. Time to catch up on iPlayer.

They seemed so anti and now it is OK? I get that Rick didn't eat local people but even so... This is the bit that got me too. Bill seems VERY hypocritical to me and loses a lot of his character's strength by behaving in the way he did in last nights episode. I also suspect some homosexual undertones between Keiren and Rick. The conversation in the car made me think that this was the case, which also explains why Keiren killed himself when Rick died.

E_G_R2 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Well i'm enjoying it. Its not and in no way tries to be like The Walking Dead (which i also enjoy) and yes its full of un answered questions and improbables but to be honest who knows what would happen in a Zombie outbreak. In World War Z the Zombies eat but don't digest so why bother? His parents just don't get it, trying to feed him and giving him drinks. Denial springs to mind.
witch Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Yes I agree - they don't seem astounded that the son they lost to suicide is back. I wouldnt let him out of my sight!
E_G_R2 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Yes I agree - they don't seem astounded that the son they lost to suicide is back. I wouldnt let him out of my sight! Though they tried that but Dad had to go off to work
