Inspired by the zombie universe of George A. Romero, "Day of the Dead" takes place in a small town where an ordinary day takes a terrifying turn when the dead begin to rise. Townspeople Mayor Bowman is up for reelection, Jai is hours away from his wedding, Luke has a party to attend, Lauren is going to lead a funeral, McDermott has a mystery to solve, and Cam has a lawn to mow. This ode to Romero's flesh-eaters is a reminder that sometimes all it takes to bring people together is a horde of hungry zombies trying to rip them apart.

Its total lack of pretensions make it almost irresistible. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

2/5
This is the best version of Day of the Dead since the original movie. And that is really, really depressing. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 10/15/2021
This new version of Day Of The Dead tries to mimic that formula, but doesn't follow through with good enough storylines or characters that we care about. Go to Full Review

lon g @Grimeslon 12/02/2023 Disappointing at best. The dialog is ridiculous and cringy. The whole show seemed like a parody of the zombie genre. Syfy takes shows that are supposed to be horror and turns them into comedy See more Cristian s @cristiansj 05/11/2023 Bueno a ver la serie es mala. Punto. El tema acá es que: 1. Lo ultimo que habíamos tenido de la franquicia es la película "Bloodline" y esta temporada al lado de ese esperpento parece una maravilla. 2. Sus "defectos" en realidad son lo que siempre fue: todo muy clase B, flojas actuaciones, mucha sangre, muchos efectos prácticos, humor negro, maneras ingeniosas de matar zombies e inconsistencias varias (por dar solo un ejemplo en los primeros capítulos los zombies son imparables, no mueren y solo se los puede retrasar lastimándole las piernas mientras que en los últimos capítulos caen como moscas, 2 balazos y a otra cosa). Pero como dije la saga siempre fue esto, es lo que esperaba ver cuando llegue y es lo que entrego así que no puedo decir que este desilusionado. ¿Esperaba mas? Francamente no y eso esta bien. See more mario l 10/29/2022 I thought Z Nation was the dumbest zombie series ever. Until I watch this one. Nothing to do with Romero's legacy. The worse is that I watch all the episodes. Here's my piece of advise : If disappointed after 2 or 3 episodes, stop right there. If not, well, carry on and enjoy ! See more 05/01/2022 Crappy!!! It's a zombie show should be fun in a horrific non-preaching way …..and it's not!!!! Could the dialogues and characters be any more boring and irrelevant…the best thing that could happen is all the main characters be eaten immediately….. See more 02/26/2022 Love this show. In many ways it's the opposite of The Walking Dead. So don't go into it expecting a zombie soap opera. Instead, it's great zombie killing fun in the Romero vein. Enjoy liberally. Social commentary to be expected. It's Romero for gods sake. See more 01/15/2022 Look normally I am against rating shows I do not watch and entire season of... but I could not get past episode 2 before I determined it was just too stupid and i hated it. Just do not watch it. See more Read all reviews
