This drama centers on teenage zombie Kieren Walker, who returns home after his death in 2009 to a less-than-warm welcome. He's part of a zombie group that has been reanimated and treated for PDS (Partially Deceased Syndrome), but the zombie-hating Human Volunteer Force, which is backed by local churchman Vicar Oddie, is adamant in its stance against rotters despite the government's agenda of acceptance and tolerance. Kieren must confront the community that rejected him and deal with haunting flashbacks of what he did in his untreated state.

Mike Hale New York Times 05/09/2014
It's a family drama - a sensitive, moving and sneakily humorous one - in horror story makeup. Go to Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 05/08/2014

In the Flesh isn't just a timely allegory of intolerance and racism. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide 05/09/2014
Flesh aims high as an allegory of social prejudice and political extremism. Go to Full Review Caroline Preece TV Equals 05/05/2014
Whether it's the bleak, bleak tone, the horror imagery or the indisputable human truths it chooses to show, this is a series that isn't afraid of going to those dark places, shading them in with a whole load of grey in the process. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Larry L 10/20/2024 Worst piece of doo doo that I've ever seen. The special effects were very poor. poorly written dumb story. Must because I'm older man nothing makes sense anymore so you give High review to every piece of crud that comes out and of course I watch it and it turns out to be bad. See more merance a 10/25/2023 Such a good show. Why didn't they renew? Watch it, you won't regret it. Even if you don't like zombie flicks, give it a try. Full of great characters, social themes with just a touch zombies thrown in. I mean PDS people. See more 10/11/2019 I still cannot believe this amazing show got cut so short. I will never not love this show. Favorite anything I've ever watched. See more 07/17/2015 Just as good as the first series with a bonus three episodes. Even more lovable characters adding ideas of terrorism and radical religion into the mix of brilliance. again, heart wrenching but at the same time ever so slightly less morbid and only adds to the thought provoking questions raised. See more 03/19/2015 I really wish they hadn't cancelled it. See more 01/11/2015 This show is amazing- right up there with Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. I love it!!! See more Read all reviews
