NEW.The recent premiere of 'Zomboat!'
(Dark) serves to remember some of the zombie series that have given the most to talk about
SUCCESS: The zombie series have an increasing following around the world
There are more and more zombie series
.
We take advantage of the recent release of
Zomboat!
, on the Dark channel, to make a stop along the way and recommend some
productions that are worthwhile
and whose plots revolve around the 'walking dead'.
You never know
when the insights
you gain from watching these series can be useful ...
ZOMBOAT!
(Dark)
Humor, a lot of humor
, is the great asset played by this British production recently arrived on
the Dark channel
.
Its protagonists are two sisters and two friends who forcibly share a boat that will take them to London on a canal that links
their native Birmingham, attacked by zombies, with the capital.
In his journey, confidences, misunderstandings, surreal situations and people who "return" from the past happen before the astonished eyes of some
very disoriented thirty-something.
The moments in the supermarket and in a hotel where some friends are waiting after a crazy bachelor party are priceless, as well as the thousand and one
references to zombie movies.
THE WALKING DEAD (FOXTV)
It is, without a doubt, the series that
has revolutionized in recent times the way of telling stories with the 'undead'
.
If Danny Boyle,
28 days later
(2002), managed to renew a subgenre in the cinema that lived much in the past,
The Walking Dead
has done the same (and to a greater extent) on the small screen with realism and action to the limit.
So much so that, despite the
11 seasons it has been on the air
, it continues to be attractive to viewers.
With
Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln)
, its protagonist, we have discovered that
solidarity is necessary to survive
in a zombie epidemic.
And that it is better not to hesitate for a second in front of the
real villains
of the function: very living beings that hide the true face of evil under their smile or their charisma.
His legacy lives on with
spin offs
like
Fear The Walking Dead
and the most recent (and very disappointing)
The Walking Dead: World Beyond
.
DEAD SET: DEATH LIVE (Filmin)
Not even in the wettest dream of a fan of
reality
shows
could there be room for a
starting point as crazy
as the one posed by this British production from the creator of
Black Mirror
.
In a UK shocked by a zombie apocalypse, what better place to
take refuge than the very house of
Big Brother
.
Yes, as you read it, that great set becomes the perfect place to escape death.
It is quite a
hoot to
see the contestants on the verge of panic or the detail of having had the
real presenter of the program
(the British Mercedes Milá) to give life to the hostess of the house.
IN THE FLESH
In this series, the problem is not that people die.
Neither turn into zombies.
Rather, they die,
resurrect as zombies and have to return to their homes
to try to
reintegrate into society
thanks to a cure for their 'disease'.
The bad thing is that (beware of the parallelism that can be established with the sad situation that minorities or immigrants live in reality) the neighbors of these ex-zombies
do not accept them as equals
and prefer to make life impossible for them.
HACIA EL LAGO (TO THE LAKE) (NETFLIX)
If
Stephen King
, the 'king of terror',
recommends
a series you have to pay attention to his important opinion.
This is what has happened to this Russian production, which has become a global success after receiving good reviews from the writer.
Two families (one rich, the other more humble and unstructured) embark on the odyssey of
traveling hundreds of kilometers along snowy roads
to escape certain death in their urbanization on the outskirts of Moscow.
Confinements, military that hide an epidemic
and, of course,
infected
(or zombies with nuances) make up a cocktail in which
cold and vodka
are two destabilizing elements.
The lake of the title is the place where the protagonists believe they will be safe.
