Been seeing this advertised on E4 quite a lot and I believe its due some time this month.

http://www.e4.com/deadset/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Set_(TV_series)

I guess if you are not in the UK, the show wont be quite as intriguing as it seems to be a spoof relating to the UK version of Big Brother and its host, Davina McCall. Looks pretty good anyway and its gotta be worth watching just to see Davina as a zombie lol.


May the NFOrce be with you always.

Code:
The series is made up of five episodes, the first episode is sixty minutes long, the remaining four are thirty minutes in length. The show will air from Monday 27th October 2008 to Friday 31st October 2008.


waited for it for some time , but finally they said when they will show it

1= 60
2= 30
3= 30
4= 30
5= 30
= 180 min

Think about this , 365 days locked in a rat experiment... eee Big Brother House and when you got out the whole world has a zombie infection

Just watched it. Pretty slow starting and left me feeling disappointed by the first half. It gets much better though and having watched it I have to say it was pretty decent, and for something for us Brits lol.

 Spoiler:
 


Looking forward to the next ep. I think I read somewhere it was on all week!

Hell yes.
Just watched the first episode.
Nicely done.
One of the better zombie incarnations I have seen in quite a while.

4.5 out of 5 stars from me. I don't like the Jerky camera during the action though.

looking forward to the rest of them.

LoL.

The trash can for a toilet scene was hilarious.

I'm going to edit all these and splice them together and then sit down and watch it as one long movie when the final episode airs tomorrow. This 30 minute episode stuff is for the birds.
(I still like it though)

Still thinking its one of the better Zombie adaptations in quite a long while. I'm not one that usually enjoys the "sprinter Zombies". But, this one hasn't bothered me with them like I thought it might. I tend to favor the shamblers more. Large groups of them. I hope thats what they do with World War Z.

Seen 3 eps for now and the show fucking ROCKS! I actually enjoy running zombies more than the old-fashioned slow ones. I recommend this show to anybody who liked 28 days later (and the sequel). The climax is less dark but still great.

Great Zombie story.

Right up there with Night of The Living Dead and Dawn Of The Dead IMHO.

I like how they paid homage to Day of The Dead in a few scenes.

Watched the last 3 episodes today. Good stuff, especially since as its British lol. Im in the UK but american tv shows are always so much better. Andy Nyman is hilarious as Patrick and totally steals the show. Nice gore effects too and an impressive ending. It was certainly better than I thought it would be.

I took a video editor and spliced all of them together pretty seamlessly and went back and watched it all in one go. it's fairly long when you watch it like that.
Fits together nicely too.

I hope above all hope they do World War Z justice.
I hope its an Oscar winning zombie flick. lol.
