Black Summer

Alright, so. Who else has seen it? I thought it had potential to be a different type of zombie series than we were used to seeing. It came out the games strong, but the more I saw of it, the more I noticed the jarring editing and style (all of the episode's have different runtimes, with a 45 min premiere and a 20 min finale for example). Sometimes the show would pass as very well-written and solid production values, but then suddenly a character would say a ham-fisted line that would heavily break immersion. The weirdest part for me is the editing though. It is just bizarre. They do this weird thing where it flashes a word or two on a bare black screen indicating a cinematic chapter of the story (in the beginning it's character's names and I figured that was how the show was going to be presented since there were several characters witnessing multiple different viewpoints of the same timeline of the zombie invasion) and it seems to get less tightly focused by the end. It has some redeeming qualities, but if you are on the fence about how you'd want to commit 4-5 hours of your life, then there are better options out there. But there are worse ones too.

I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to where they take things next season.

I saw this pile of shit while playing video games because there’s no way I can give a show like this my full attention.

There are parts that are ok, I guess, but for the most part I treated this more as a comedy because the people were so fucking retarded and two dimensional it actually hurt my soul a little.

Does that tattoo on her thumb say “I am sore”?
Maybe she should have sex with a considerate skilful white man instead of a dick-focused shitskin EBT ape.

Possible spoilers mainly pertaining to the timeline ahead. I'm going to try and keep it vague.

The series was moving forward with some momentum into the diner scene, which was tense. But then group B stumbled upon the diner group for the first time, that's when the editor in charge of the movie takes a hit of angel dust. Watch it again to see exactly what I mean. There's a confusing scene where Spears is watching a zombie run around the diner for like a minute plus and then he sees them chuck a certain someone to the wrath of the zombies. Spears runs up to them and shoots both zombies almost immediately. The sloppy way it's presented makes it look like Spears might be interpreting what he sees as a barbaric atrocity, or possibly trying him trying to save someone. And then as the rest of the survivors run out and start whaling on the zombies, the shot keeps running and pans away from the group beat down, focusing then solely on a shellshocked Jaimie King for a good 20 seconds as it cuts to the credits. So you don't see the new consolidated group of survivors interacting at all for the first time beyond 10 seconds of killing 2 zombies out of survival instincts... and then all of the sudden the next episode starts and they are immediately executing a coordinated raid on some drug den for guns? I was sure I had missed an episode. The finale was a mess. Meh.
