In a sense, Black Summer is The Walking Dead without all the bloated melodrama, kooky villains, and pretentious blabbering. Read full review

Nothing is less terrifying than over-familiarity, and that’s only one of the many problems with Netflix’s Black Summer (premiering on April 11), a bleak, dull affair that mistakes camera movement for narrative energy and has about as much life as the walking dead. Read full review

It's really difficult to keep you on the screen for the whole serie in zombie series. It happened with the walking dead when zombies got replaced by humans.

Black summer is good, is very good for the first episodes when you see what people could do when in real danger and the beginning of the contagion. But then you start noticing the bad acting, especially the annoyingly korean girl talking nonsense too often.. Poor choices of the others and a really rushed hit n run shooting ending all brings to a mediocre series.
I am not completely disappointed, but they need to do much better to keep me entertained another season. Is it really that difficult to find some good acting in zombies movies??… Expand

People did so many dumb things in this show that I was rooting for the zombies.
