I hate, I mean HATE that they never gave it more seasons. Netflix does that though. Also, this is nothing like Z-Nation, so not sure why the two are connected. Z-Nation is trash compared to Black Summer. See more Igor L @RT16258822 Apr 12, 2026 In my opinion it is the most realistic zombie series I have seen, naturalistic, raw, and stripped of the usual melodrama, clichés, and cheesy dialogue. People act the way they probably would in a real catastrophe: terrified, panicked, inexperienced, clumsy, and sometimes even unintentionally funny. There is not much talking, which makes it feel more authentic; you understand the characters through what they do rather than what they say. The show trusts the viewer, suggesting more than it explains and leaving space for imagination. The camera work and directing are excellent, creating an intense, immersive feeling, almost as if you are there with those people in the middle of the chaos. With its harsh atmosphere and almost no music, Black Summer feels unusually immediate and original. For me, it is an excellent show, probably the best zombie TV series ever made, and I honestly do not understand the bad reviews. See more David F @RT55571476 Dec 16, 2025 i LOVE this series. It’s ambitious and exciting as well as smart and unpredictable. It feels grittier and more true to life than other zombie stories, and it stands up to repeat viewings. Incredible. See more Brad A @RT04437610 Nov 25, 2025 The writing is soooo very bad. All the things wrong with season 01 of Black Summer (so far): 1- No person looking for gas would drive around for hours in a giant truck wasting gas (for hours) trying to get gas from someone else. That's just stupid. 2- Ryan - the deaf/mute guy - can't say his own name or any words for that matter. He can sign, but no one reads/understands sign language. So how does the blonde girl know his name to say, "Where is Ryan? We need to find Ryan!" ? It's just stupid. 3- Never before in my 52 years of life, have I ever know anyone to LEAVE THE KEYS FOR A CAR in the windshield visor over the steering wheel. It happens in movies - but 100% never real life. It's just stupid. 4- The girl who only speaks Korean. She speaks no English at all. But weirdly as the show progresses, you magically gains the ability to understand all English spoke to her, even though she speaks no English...... riiiiiiight. It's just stupid. .... Okay I finished it - wow that was bad. Not worth watching IMHO. See more Read all reviews
