Z Nation - is it any good?
« on: August 07, 2015, 05:34:10 AM »
So apparently Z Nation is coming to german TV, so far I've read mixed reviews ranging from shit to good to trash to "trash but good trash" etc.

Have any of you seen it already? What's your opinion?

I only saw a little bit of it, but it was cheap and trashy. I didn't watch enough to know whether it was entertaining trash or just regular old trash, but there was no absolutely doubt that it was trash.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

I wouldn't mind the trash if it was entertaining trash and some of the trailers looked like that. I've seen countless trashy horror films that were really entertaing, so no problem with that. But maybe the trailers showed the best parts and the rest is just plain bad.

I've been meaning to give it a go, but my expectations are pretty low.

I loved it! It is so campy and ridiculously 'bad' that it's entertaining. As long as you go in not expecting Dawn of the Dead or The Walking Dead.....or anything 'serious', like I said....it's entertaining.

I've got Netflix and still couldn't bring myself to watch it even on those bored days. I love me some apocalypse stories, but recently the great storytelling of some of those stories has made me spoiled so now the campy cheesefests like this just make me bored instead of give me a good giggle cause I know it's possible to have both story and action. Z Nation is just all about action and even that is done pretty horribly, I think. I say pass on this and find something worthwhile to latch onto, because this show won't last all that much longer, if I were a betting man. But hey, if there's nothing else on, why not?
