I was looking for something to watch on Netflix last night and stumbled acrossed this show.  Wasn't sure what to think at first, but started to really like it.  Mostly because I think whoever created it is an Arfcommer that spends a lot of time in GD

The line "Their city, their rules."  The awesome gun porn like the SR25 that 10K carries around...



So which one of you is it?

The gun porn is actually pretty lame, except for Roberta's Python, of course.  Lots of airsoft with CGI muzzle blast.  Addy's spiked bat largely makes up for it though.



Also, giant cheese wheel.

Haven't seen any. So from 1-10, what do you rank it?

First half of season 1 sucked, there is no denying it.  But around episode 7, "Welcome to the Fu-Bar", Roberta and Murphy got their feet under them and the show started to take off.  Episode 8 even made me enjoy an episode focused on DJ Qualls, who I fucking hate, so that was a surprise.  Murphy's character dominates the show from then on and his arc is really fun.  I also loved the Cheyenne free for all and them joining the Mexican cartel/death cult in season 2.  I liked the X-Files and Mad Max tribute episodes, and taking refuge with the corporate retreat survivors.

The zombie gore is top notch and frequently hilarious - i.e. bus load of Abe Lincolns.  Also, Addy loses some weight and gets rid of the god awful dreadlocks for season 2.  Unfortunately, although there are some good moments the gunfights will never blow your socks off, anything gun related is "made for Youtube in my cousin's backyard quality" at best.

That's actually a pretty good assessment.  It wasn't until about episode 5 when I decided I liked it because it started pretty slow.  I made it to episode 9 before passing out, but I'll definitely be watching the rest.

Python and great big titties  

There is a pretty good thread on season 2 here in GD.

The show is campy and silly but lots variation in firearms and themed episodes.

I like it

Yeah, the woman is stacked.  I'd be OK with it if she showed a little more skin.

Wayyyyy better than Walking dead, as it doesn't take itself too serious.  Can't wait for the next season!!

there are some fun ideas in the show.  other than the writing, acting, directing, and production, it's damn good.

I enjoy Z Nation, it's campy and doesn't try to be something it's not.

It's a good rainy day watch or just some fre time.

It is fun. None of the shortcomings you mention detract from that much.

They completely lost me in season two with all the weirdness. Try watching RE-KILL, a zombie film that is like starship troopers, with outbreak news channel and all . good watch

eh--i have to actually like characters, or i can't get into a show.  vikings, black sails, TWD--they all have characters that i like.  i almost tuned out of black sails, until characters like vane, billy bones, max, and rackham started getting interesting.

only character that i liked in ZN was zombie murphy.  the rest of them just annoy me.

My 13 year old daughter thinks it's great.

I stopped trying to like it after the Zombienado episode. Even for a zombie apocalypse, end-of-the-world, BS series, it was pretty out there.

So did you guys see anything that stuck out as Arfcommy or is it just me?
