Black Summer

[Chief]

Brutal zombie story in the Z Nation universe.

Not a lot of comedy in this one.

Really suspenseful episodes. No black and white choices.

Story moves as fast as the zombies. Hand offs to new groups and beloved characters die in confusion and chaos instead of emotional farewells.

I really enjoyed it and much more suspenseful than anything that the TWD has dished up in terms of suspense and thrill since the Death of Glen over 2-3 years ago now.

Annoyed that the spinoff of TWD didnt resemble elements of Dark Summer.

I liked the fear element of the zombies, felt genuine and terrifying.

Haven't seen it but being a fan of classic zombie flicks does this indicate the turning circle of an aircraft carrier or something more like "28 Days Later"..?

Fast zombies. Sparse dialogue. No long, drawn out monologues like TWD.

The Walking Dead was junk by when they made the spinoff. Fear the Walking Dead didn't need to try to get an audience.

Haven't watched this.

I've watched the first 3 episodes so far and enjoying it. It hasn't got very good reviews on IMDB though.

I thought it was good but had some really weak parts that held it back. Episode 3 and 5 were the peak for me. Suspense in 3 was great and the conniving and planning in 5 interesting. Episode 1 was a good intro too. Epsiode 4 was terrible. A whole episode following an idiot, who somehow doesn't die. Took the danger factor away. I thought the last epsiode was shit too, again due to stupidity.

Spoiler: Last episode

A handful of people become a couple of hundred across episodes and their plan is to walk through the streets together unloading into every zombie they see. One zombie appears so 50 people all start shooting at it from long range? Don't consider noise will attract more? Then that plan fails. Well damn, couldnt have seen that one coming

I'd say more suspenseful than anything twd has dished up since they reached hershels farm.

Really enjoyed the first two episodes they were fast, tense and sort of had a realistic vibe then the 3rd lost me by taking me out of the world. I wont give away the plot spoilers but that whole episode felt so half arsed and cheezy.
Up to the last two episodes now, it does pick up again but they missed an opportunity here this could have been pretty good.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Trash.

Trash.

Yeah OK.

You have to accept the leaps. They leave a lot of it off screen so you have to make the story yourself.

It is chaos - just as you’d expect it to be.

And it’s the Z Nation world so the absurd happens.

 

[Summer Nights]

Agree with Chief’s points. Take the bad with the good and quite suspenseful overall.

 

[Financialpanther]

What I enjoyed the most was the complete lack of melodrama. For me, that’s what sets it aside from the others which was refreshing.

 

[Dancing Potato]

I'm enjoying the intensity and super basic survival over all else vibe so far.

Spoiler: Episode 2

Genuinely burst out laughing when Barbara flew through the window at the end of episode two.
