As such my oppinion may change.
If you watch it, it will. Basically small town, all the dead rise and return to their lives. Husbands go back to wifes, children return to school, etc. The main conflict revolves around a murder/cover up which would have slowly unraveled. But then you'd also have other issues like where do you put all the people from the cemetary (in various states of decay) which would have provided other plot lines to follow through. Close to "Brilliant But Canceled" territory.
Alright, watched it. My oppinion noi, meh. You are right the premise is good. Could make an excellent series. It's just that everything's solved in the pilot aside from "why are there zombies here?" That murder is already blantently solved, they showed how people react to various loved ones coming back, and they managed to show a store keeper defending himself against a zombie. All in the damn pilot. I mean geeze leaves nothing much to look forward to in future episodes. It's like making a "Lord of the Rings" tv pilot with a big climax being the ring falling back into the fiery chasm from whence it came and, expecting a series ok after that.
Plus the creators seem to be anti-women given the chosen backbone story. Essentially abused women get courage to kill their abuser. Abuser comes back to life and, gets to further torment them. Also, woman who becomes a necrophiliac and, jumps to have sex with her zombie used to be husband. The only woman cop just hides in the police station and, is told to leave the room for Zombie guy & cop guy to speak.
Finally by taking away the zombie weakness of decay and, shot in head = really dead. Any immergent resistant movement is kind of pointless. Oh yeah show already showed how usefull a resistance movement is.
All in all, still glad CBS passed on it. It's not the complete trainwreck I thought it was gonna be but, it doesn't make me want another episode. The story is essentialy told. There are a few minor loose ends but, loose ends happen with any series. It basically doesn't need another episode. It's like a movie that's okay as is.
(Yes I realize "now" is misspelled "noi" I left it for the luls)
