    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Several of the names in the series are puns. Kieren's last name is Walker, which is a term sometimes used to refer to zombies. Amy's last name is Dyer, referencing her deceased state. The show is set in the fictional village of Roarton, which sounds like "rotten".
    • Goofs
      It's mentioned that when the PDS Sufferers were in their untreated state, brain eating was how they got their energy. It's never stated how they got their energy in their treated state, as the drug that keeps them in line only exists to help them function and doesn't actually give them energy. They can't eat or drink anything and are seen using sheep brains as a drug, but that exists only as a high.

    Everything you could want from a TV drama.
    This show is one of the best I've seen in a very long time. The cast are amazing, the writing is complex, but not overly so, and, despite the series featuring zombies, it's very easy to relate to in real life. Issues like discrimination are tackled in an eye-opening way without being preachy. There's representation for the queer community, though again, the queer characters are not solely defined by their sexuality, nor does their characterisation hinge on it. The topics of depression, anxiety, self- worth, self-acceptance, and PTSD are explored in a meaningful and honest way. Add to that the drama of families regaining someone they'd lost and grieved for and you've got gold.

    I watched the entire series in just over a day and I'm dying for a third one. I can only hope that we've not seen the last of this world as it has so much to offer.
