Well, this is some grade-A bullcrap! A comedy show about the zombie apocalypse from the same channel that gave us Z-Nation. I guess once wasn't enough for them.
Day of the Dead (which I'll abbreviate to DuD, because it is one) is beyond bad. The acting is so poor, I began to wonder if the people were just random folks from off the street. But then I saw the forced emotion and the over-acting and realised "No, these are just very, very bad actors."
Not that even a good actor could do much with the terrible dialogue on display here, or the awful cringe-inducing scenes they would have to be a part of. Then again, a good actor wouldn't get involved with this in the first place.
The comedy is just horribly forced and yet terribly formulaic all at the same time. There is no clever humour here. Just trite, predictable nonsense. I'm surprised they didn't put a laugh track in, honestly, so that we would know when we were supposed to laugh. It is THAT bad!
I'll admit, the zombie effects are decent, but that can't save this mess. Two episodes was all I managed and I skipped ahead on the second one because it was so painful to watch.
SUMMARY: Nothing to do with Romero. Not funny. Very badly acted. Full of cringe. Avoid it like you would actual zombies. Just atrocious.
