Z Nation

I like zombies. The zombie apocalypse is an utterly ridiculous idea given the fact that the planet would be 100% uninhabitable roughly 10 days after the loss of power disabled the safety controls on nuclear reactors and chemical plants, but still, they're fun stuff.
I've hate-watched The Walking Dead since Shane died. The Romero films are wonderful. Loved the Dawn of the Dead remake. I think Shawn of the Dead and both Zombieland films are great fun. Army of the Dead was great.
So about a month ago I started on Z Nation. It's produced by The Asylum, wo gave us the Sharknado movies, as well as cinematic treasures like Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus.
Folks, this is how a zombie series should be done. The black humor is abundant. There are ridiculous situations. People joke. One person pukes, and everyone around them pukes. It's low-budget. The CGI is borderline terrible. But damn, there's a good story here, and people you're invested in freaking die.
Very few shows should go past 5 seasons. This one went 5, and I would have happily watched a 6th.
And on another note, check out Black Summer, a prequel of sorts that's just mean and nasty. Very bleak, that really addresses how awful people would be when society breaks down and people are starving to death.
