I would describe this as Breakfast Club meets 28 Days Later. High school drama with light humor meets apocalypse. . It is predictable, but I enjoyed it enough to keep watching.. even if the acting feels too scripted.

Really enjoyed this show. Some really fun scares, definitely targeted for a younger audience I think, but good zombies and tension. All around just a fun world to live in. I think it's a rip-off of another show, but what isn't these days. Definitely has a great hook to it and keeps your attention from episode 1. Nothing groundbreaking, but definitely fun.

I went into this with low expectations, but I must say I was entertained. No it's not Walking Dead or even Z Nation, but it's still a good entertaining 25 minutes.

This starts off quite good and loses a bit of its own focus. Or rather gets entangled by all the teen cliches one can throw at the viewer. Not to mention all the tropes from scared person makes worst possible decision. The cliches include all those secrets a character apparently is able to withhold until the appropriate moment comes for a reveal.
Wouldn't call those things coincidences, but what do I know, right? Anyway, the beginning is strong, full of mystery and some of it can carry on, even if the focus is heavily on the teenage part of the cast (I would have loved to see more of the character played by Chad Coleman for example or someone else mature who doesn't change his or her mind every other second).
The end of season 2 is also ... horrible in all the wrong senses. I reckon they though this would get renewed ... and it didn't ... so even if you feel this deserved a better rating up to that point ... you won't be leaving this satisfied! Quite the opposite will be the case.

Great balance between shock value, comedy, and romance. The social media influencers did an excellent job with the acting (much better than I would have dared to expect). The dynamic between characters is great, and I found myself instantly wanting to watch the next episode at the end of each one (perfect for binge watching).

The premise was decent enough to get me to watch, but for crying out loud, who at Hulu green lighted this mess? So many continuity problems. The writing is awful. It's bad enough that it is stiff and unrealistic but they actually insult the intelligence of the audience by reminding us through dialogue of the subplots, IE. "I hate you!" "Oh, because I like your girlfriend, right?" Please!
The story is only suppose to be over the course of 2-3 days but in some instances, the characters mention they've been locked up for 11. This brings me to the next point...continuity. Girls with hair that looks perfect, made up, looking like they got a good night's sleep. Boys, teens though they may be, clean shaven, not a speck of beard growth. No showers. Nothing to brush their teeth, and the lovers make out with each other. Even after 2 days -- nobody appears gamey?
This is a dangerous chemical event yet we're expected to believe that none of the chemicals get into the school through cracks in the doors, windows, ventilation system? Even when kids make it to cars, they take their masks off in the cars as if they'd be perfectly sealed? There is nothing realistic about this!
It's a shame because you have good actors with nice resumes who were given poor dialogue and were poorly directed. It reminds me of "Dragnet" where accomplished actors were just wooden and awful on that show but you'd see them elsewhere and they'd be brilliant.
It's a sad commentary that so many writers and producers with strong, original ideas cannot get so much as a pitch meeting while crap like this turns up.
If you can -- miss it.

I found this series very good. Started out weak and funny with the same zombie kind of story but the more you get into it the more you want to watch the next episode, so they did a good work with that. There are some flaws but all around a good watch. Would love to see SEASON 2 ! They could just make longer episodes 22 minutes isn't enough! Don't listen to all the critics that go to hard on it! There are lot worst zombie series then, like Nation Z. This one is a lot better and has that teenage touch that's fun and it's not that intense. You can see the youth feeling behind it and the running away and not the fighting, they are kids so. Loved it. Season 2 ! Season 2! Season 2! Season 2 !! GO GO

I love the show but 10 episodes per season is not very long. I mean a person could watch this within a few days. I wish it was longer like other series with like at least 20 episodes per season. Overall the show is really cool. It is a good mix of drama and action. Definitely a must see. Please make longer seasons though developers. It probably would be more popular if fans had more to watch and look forward to. Ps. I hope the part about a good mix of drama and action does not count as spoiler. If it does I am sorry about that as it was not intended.

Don't bother with this.
Sadly, I have to admit season 1, despite being predictable and tediously riddled with teenage angst and sophomoric drama, was not abysmal. Honestly, despite the incomprehensibly stupid narrative structure, bizarre (and largely inconsistent) internal logic, and desperately trite dialogue, the acting is actually decent enough to create a few sparse points of poignant tenderness.
However, the second season forgoes all the subtle nuances of the first season, instead choosing to amplify the crude adolescent melodrama into a soap-opera-esque mess of dumb.
I can't tell if the failure is the expansion of the budget or merely the inevitable conclusion of the faults of the first season--either way, a mediocre start collapses into a steaming pile of stupid.

This is a great show. It has horror and suspense elements but unlike many shows alike, it is still somewhat believable but doesn't take itself too seriously. The cast does their job well and the effects work.

Be prepared to be disappointed not because lack of effort but just the script was so bad and poorly done. I love the Vines stars in this production but i've seen better high school movie projects than this. 8 hours through this and i could only cringe on every episode. Kudos to all the vine star but to be taken seriously you all need more work done especially your acting.

I'm not going to lie, I thought this show was going to have bad actors and the plot was going to be all over the place, but it completely surprised me. It made me feel as if I was in the show my self. All the actors made me feel as if this was actually happening at this very moment. You definitely build a connection with each actor. The way that the plot and the entire storyline is produced is absolutely amazing and something I did not expect. This show completely surprised me in the best way that there could be and I am definitely hoping for a second season. I would definitely recommend this show to anyone honestly, because it is such a great show with so many surprises that will leave you in awe and wanting more. Watch it now it's awesome and you won't regret it.

Not a bad show. However, I'm just a little confused on how these teenagers react to certain situations. For example, why would Mary hide she got bitten? Also, wouldn't Grover, her brother, be a little more distraught about his sister turning into a zombie...basically dying? Why is he showing up to detention on a Saturday to be near a girl he likes? That's just straight up weird and creepy. And why is Natalie hiding her pregnancy from everyone? Seriously what's the big deal. I know they're supposed to be teenagers and I used to be one, but I don't ever remember being this stupid and lacking this much common sense. Then again, this is a tv show...so I guess that lack of logic with the characters make it enjoyable? I don't know. Still, I thought it had a decent story line. Just a poorly written dialogue. The actors did a decent job with the script they were given though.
Feels like a cheap knock-off of The Andromeda Strain meets The Walking Dead, and the biggest issue I have with this show is that the characters don't seem particularly traumatized by what's going on around them.
Watched the first season, not sure I'm going to bother with S2. It's meh, but good enough to kill some spare time with.

My fiancé and I are very addicted to this show. It was a twist and turn every second in our opinion. Everyone is entertained in different ways but I tell this show right here I am very pleased with so far. I am tired of reality shows so this brings a twist to my TV list. I hope to see a second season!
