The show feels like it aimed for The Walking Dead but lands closer to Falling Skies. To be fair, this is not a homogeneous quality assessment, there are ups and downs in the writing, special effects and dialogue. So let me break it down for those who care to read it, but for those of you who don't want to read my fabulous writing, know that it is not a show you would probably want to pay for unless you're a little bored. Show Acting The acting is somewhat of a challenge to properly analyze, as many instances seem to be the fault of the dialogue but there are a few things which stand out. Specifically, there is a seen where a vampire addresses others at a table. As he is speaking, his eyebrows keep going up and down, some form of nonverbal inflection. However, this becomes quickly distracting and it feels as though someone told the actor while he was reading his lines in the trailer that it would be a good idea to "talk with your brows". At other points, there is compassion on display, but when the writing shines through, it starts to all feel a little cheap. Writing - Repetition Special Effects Overview: The show feels rushed, blunt and cheap at several points along the way. The actors clearly did what they could and I respect them for it. However, I humbly think that there are ways in which the show could improve, big time. Yet, since I know no one is going to ask me, I'll just end my review here and call it a day. I hope this helps some of you thinking of purchasing the show. If you're like me and watch it on Amazon Prime as part of your subscription, you might not feel bad about it, as it's not the worst I've seen.

Top reviews from the United States J. CardoneReviewed in the United States on February 1, 2022 4.0 out of 5 stars 1st Episode was a bit campy but improved.The first episode may have been a pilot and could have been a bit better on the opening storyline. But I believe that each episode improve upon itself. It does ask some interesting questions around preventing a global pandemic by quarantining an entire country. It is worth the binge time. I would love to see a season 2. One person found this helpful ChadReviewed in the United States on January 20, 2022 4.0 out of 5 stars Worth watching for the base storyI'm going to be honest. The acting sucked with the lovers, but the rest of the cast did a great job. The script could use some work in the reality dept, especially with the !overs. However, the base storyline is unique in my opinion and clues are left on how to combat the vampires. My hope is that the gears behind the screen get lubed and tuned, because I will be watching season 2 3 people found this helpful Julia DeatonReviewed in the United States on November 9, 2021 4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad!I don't know what's up with all the bad reviews, but the six episodes I've binge watched were pretty good. Loved the cliffhanger ending and wish season 2 was out so I could watch more! Maybe people are upset that there isn't more action, but we're it leaves off suggest that may change. The setting just wasn't ready for more than we got. The acting, seemed accurate for everything happening as well. Interested to see where this story goes next. I've got a feeling Adam, Yvette, and Marie are about to cause some chaos! 😁 5 people found this helpful TeeJReviewed in the United States on August 14, 2021 2.0 out of 5 stars Painfully Poor Script, Painfully Acted...This series makes the original Fantastic Four with Jay Underwood look like Oscar winning material. Two words for this show: P and U! Really wanted to like it— Vampires and post apocalyptic nonsense... sounded
great! And the acting! my gawd, the acting! It is worse than a high school rendition of Our Town in Oshkosh Wisconsin (if you haven't seen, trust me, its teeth grindingly painful). Maybe this series is watchable after consuming large quantities of alcohol (I'm thinking almost pass out quantities?), I'll try it and revisit this review. Until then, keep scrolling. I gave it two stars, because it wasn't as bad as a Steven Seagal movie (that's one star territory) but it came close. 5 people found this helpful GoatflapReviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022 2.0 out of 5 stars Wanted it to be good, but bad acting made it so hard to watchI love the premise for the show but it is poorly written, poorly acted and filled with cliché nonsense. I personally cannot watch something that has both bad writing and bad acting...only one or the other can sometimes save a show but not this one. Carol ReesReviewed in the United States on February 16, 2022 5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting take on vampiresI really enjoyed this series and can't wait until they release season 2 on Prime. I've rewatched it several times so it's a big hit for me. 2.0 out of 5 stars Poor writingI give this TV show a 2-star review. The actors were fine, but the writing was poor. Seriously, only 6 shows. Did the writers really have no imagination on making this a good show? If they had put in the work, this could have been a good show. 2 people found this helpful StereoMicReviewed in the United States on August 13, 2021 2.0 out of 5 stars too bad it's so lame.The premise sounded interesting and entertaining enough. The effects looked pretty good. Too bad the script is so amateurish. I'll bet high school kids could write better dialog. Very disappointed in this one. 4 people found this helpful See all reviewsWhere can I watch age of the living dead?Watch Age of the Living Dead - Free TV Series | Tubi.
