What to Know

Critics Consensus

Black Summer has enough undead carnage and a sinewy pace to please zombie fans, but the series suffers from scant characterization and doesn't add much storytelling meat to the genre's gnawed-on bone.

John Doyle Globe and Mail It's formally brilliant, politically loaded, terse and terrifying. Jun 10, 2019 Full Review Elisabeth Vincentelli New York Times Yet if the zombies are defined by frantic agitation, the show itself stands out from the pack thanks to a pensive, almost dreamlike economy. May 8, 2019 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com A bleak, dull affair that mistakes camera movement for narrative energy and has about as much life as the walking dead. Apr 10, 2019 Full Review Nicolas Soto But Why Tho? A Geek Community Out of the 8 episodes, only one episode managed to capture my attention. Jan 22, 2023 Full Review Jorge Loser Espinof A pure B series that doesn't concern itself with critics or what would the fans think, rising as the closest incarnation of Resident Evil... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5 Jul 19, 2022 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn No Es En Serie It is a relatively minimalist series, which favours tension and suspense over character development or even dialogue. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 17, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

D S From what I remember I kinda liked this show haha Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Timothy T Great zombie TV show very organic a whole new more surreal take on z nation. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review luniz 4 Works alright as a comedy. Not brought to you by Carl's Jr. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Miguel Barbara should have put her seatbelt on. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Wayne G This show just loves to drag scenes out, like someone walking around in the woods, or wandering a big warehouse…but after a couple episodes of this you start to get worn out. Reminds me of how Sons of Anarchy always had some slow rock song playing while some dude dragged on a cigarette for 2 minutes, or how Rings of Power basically went nowhere for episodes on end. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Joe S Before long you'll be willing on the zombies Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
