More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Z Nation Season 1 All Critics (20) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (11) While there's plenty to laugh at -- like Sharknado, Z Nation knows it's bad -- SyFy's latest original series doesn't take the creative leaps to surprise an audience already too familiar with how to kill zombies. Sep 15, 2014 | Rating: C | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic The 13-episode series has a sweeping, impressive prologue, but the show itself almost immediately shrinks to a small-scale, dark and rustic canvas. This is the same formula that doomed NBC's Revolution. Sep 11, 2014 | Full Review… David Hiltbrand Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic In Syfy's new zombie series Z Nation, the priority seems to be cramming in as much violence and gore as possible. If that means skimping on rehearsal time and retakes, so be it. Sep 10, 2014 | Full Review… Tom Conroy Media Life Top Critic Z Nation opens at a sprinter's speed and for the most part keeps up that pace. The blood flow is constant and the makeup department answers the bell. Sep 10, 2014 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic The mundanely self-aware screenplay includes references to the zompocalypse and lines like "God, I hate moral dilemmas." Oct 18, 2017 | Full Review… Mike Hale New York Times Top Critic My biggest problem with the show is that it's bad by The Asylum's own low standards: Z Nation suffers from not knowing how cheeky it wants to be or should be. Sep 24, 2014 | Rating: D+ | Full Review… Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly Top Critic It was probably inevitable, given the monster success of AMC's The Walking Dead, that another zombie horror series would be forthcoming ... but I'd hoped for something a little less slapdash and cheeseball than Syfy's Z Nation Oct 18, 2017 | Full Review… Matt Roush TV Guide Syfy's Z Nation has everything you want in a zombie show: stiff, shambling creatures who growl and stare with lifeless eyes. Unfortunately, these are the cast members playing survivors. Oct 18, 2017 | Full Review… Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald Z Nation's biggest strengths are its momentum and pacing, along with stopping short of taking itself too seriously. Sep 30, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Nick Venable CinemaBlend Make no mistake, this is still a pretty cheesy hour of television, but they went all out in terms of setting this up as world that has just accepted the zombie apocalypse as a way of life Sep 19, 2014 | Full Review… Jordan Alsaqa TV Equals Even things that would be cool are rendered blah by the flat writing. Sep 15, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media I had no idea what to expect when I sat down to watch Z Nation. Perhaps that's why I totally enjoyed it: Zero expectations. Plus, I decided to give it a shot without comparing it to that other popular zombie show. Sep 15, 2014 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… Henry A. Otero TV Fanatic View All Critic Reviews (20) Audience Reviews for Z Nation: Season 1 Jul 07, 2020 I binge watched on Netflix. It's an over the top gore fest that is fun, funny, sad, weird. I love the characters (my favourite is Addy). It is fast paced and if you want a comparison to TWD, don't. Apart from it has Zombies, it's not the same at all. So much more fun and easy watching. Justine T Jun 09, 2020 focken loved it mate nat z Mar 31, 2020 Season 1 is pretty good, but if you live in the usa just be warned you can't get seasons 4 and 5 on region 1 discs. Brandon B Jan 28, 2020 This show has been like a breath of fresh air in a genre that has become rather jaded. The black humour and cast of quirky believable characters are all part of the Z Nations's charm. When I sat down to watch this I expected another formulaic show aka The Walking Dead. However, The writers display great originality in their portrayal of one groups odyssey through the apocalypse. The concept of Z weed and different types of zombie make Z Nation a refreshingly original take on the zombie apocalypse. Dutch M Jan 04, 2020 The strongest season of the show. Dexter B Dec 15, 2019 allot better than the walking dead LOL Austin H Nov 15, 2019 Watchable, funny and gory Edmundo A Nov 08, 2019 Was good at first... but then got confusing and weird Carly B Oct 30, 2019 If you like cheesy b-grade zombie flicks, then this is the show for you! The acting is hammy, the story is weird, and everyone seems to be having a blast making the show! This makes for a great easy watch; even when you get invested in the characters it's still just a light-hearted and silly mess. Tempest E Oct 19, 2019 Half way through season 1 - A group of ragtag survivors held together by a cross-county goal, interact with other groups weirded out from adjusting to a world full of zombies. The story is funny, sarcastic, violent, cheesy and very in tune with the issues of our day.
