    "Mediocre"
    Based on what I've seen, I don't understand how this is being billed as a comedic drama. There's no comedy involved, as far as I can tell. It seems more like a weekly zombie flick. If they're going for the "Hot Fuzz", "Shaun of the Dead" or "Fido" vibe, they've missed it. Completely.

    On the other hand, it's nice to see a good zombie flick now and again. I can't see myself watching this on a daily basis, though. It's just too dark. How can you connect to the characters in an environment like that?

    I will not be tuning in for this show...moreless

    It's NOT a cop show, it's NOT a reality show, it's actually something new and worth watching. In a similar vein to Cape Wrath (known in USA as Meadowlands) it's a creepy tale about....no, while should I spoil it for you. This show is worth watching and finding out for yourself. It has been a long time coming for a show with a NEW idea that can hold its own. As yet this show, god knows why as yet to be picked up. It appears the networks prefer to re-hash old shows instead, like having a young Brit girl playing the Bionic Woman or doing a dramatic adaptation of Groundhog Day in Journeymanmoreless
