Dead Set (2008)

- written December 7th, 2010

Overall: I am reviewing the British Tv Series, Dead Set. The first and to date, only season aired.           It's eviction night at the Big Brother house, but something very strange is happening; the dead are coming alive and attacking the living. When zombies attack all of the audience outside, the Big Brother contestants are unaware of the death outside the fan-proof (and zombie-proof) big brother house until the show's runner, Kelly, comes into the house and warns them of the doom outside. Stuck with even less contact with the outside world, the house-mates must sneak out of the house to get supplies, without being seen by the zombies.           What I liked about it: It’s suspenseful, scary, gory, and very exciting. I was on the edge of my chair the entire way and loved, loved loved the evil producer. He was so obnoxious and awful, that he was wonderful. Great job.           What I didn’t like: Almost nothing…outside of the fact that I think the original premise of the “Biog Brother” house tends to limit you audience who would pay attention since it does help if you know the reality show and it’s not as popular in the U.S. as in other countries.
