Several years since a zombie virus swept across America, there's only one person -- who goes by just Murphy -- known to have survived the infection -- the world's last hope at creating a vaccine. The last functioning viral lab needs blood from him for its antibodies, but the facility is in California and the man is in New York. A ragtag group of strangers works to transport him to the West Coast, but his dark secret remains hidden, which could threaten everyone. Hammond and his second in command, Garnett, initially lead the group of the living -- later replaced by Lt. Warren -- and computer hacker Citizen Z helps everyone navigate through the zombie-infested terrain. When the group meets a man in Colorado, he offers to take Murphy the rest of the way to California. When nuclear weapons are launched, people head into survival mode and become desperate to find a cure.

Credit where credit's due: Z Nation pulled it off. Go to Full Review Kathie Huddleston Syfy Wire Jul 9, 2018
I like Z Nation. It's a fun show, usually. Hopefully Season 5 will have a strong mission with a strong Warren with lots of laughs. Go to Full Review Robert Yaniz, Jr. Screen Rant Oct 2, 2017
Z Nation season 4 started off with an attention-grabbing premiere episode that feels like a soft reboot in that it recalibrates the show, making it feel fresh for the first time in ages. Go to Full Review Ron Gilmer TV Fanatic Oct 2, 2017
5/5
The difference between Z Nation and the other Asylum properties is the subversive, sly storytelling it employs. The show has never been given the proper credit for how clever it is. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Marco L @decatur555 Jul 1, 2026 Z Nation is supposedly set in the same universe as Black Summer, but it feels like a completely different kind of zombie show. It does not have the intensity, realism or desperate survival energy that made Black Summer so powerful. Instead, it is lighter, cheaper, more chaotic and much more B-movie in spirit. The premise is strong: a group must transport Murphy, the only known survivor of a zombie bite, because his blood may be the key to a cure. That mission gives the series direction, and some characters, especially Murphy, Warren, Doc, 10K and Addy, become genuinely enjoyable over time. But the show is also uneven, scattered and often held back by weak direction and limited production values. It is watchable and has charm, but it could have been much better. See more David W @Sternhammer Sep 13, 2024 Its almost a reboot that reintroduces characters whilst still retaining it's core and most of the previous cast. It got a freshness about it and is still for me the most consistently enjoyable post zombie apocalypse series I've ever seen. Lots more inventive ideas, humour, pathos, great zombie effects, a cast who despite rosta changes really get and buy into proceedings and an ever evolving story arc. Back to its imperious best after a small third series quality drop off. I'm still loving the bones of this. See more Anthony T @tomscove Jun 4, 2023 Its becoming a little bit of a slog to get through. See more robert p @RT40771016 Mar 30, 2021 Even though every series seems to have its.... uhhh wait a minute what...... moments I personally think think its better than TWD and it should have had atleast 2 more seasons See more Mar 23, 2021 Season 4 has promise. The skeleton of the show is there, and the overall story is solid. There are some absolutely golden moments in this season. Unfortunately, this season contains some of the most painfully bad episodes, scenes, and writing I have ever experienced. The style and tone has been wrenched from its mooring, letting the show spin into terribly campy, eye gougingly bad territory.
