Z-Nation on Netflix!

     The first two seasons of Z-Nation are on Netflix and you should not compare it to The Walking Dead in any way shape or form. Z-Nation can be seen on Netflix or Syfy and it's more comedy than horror. You'll either think it's funny, stupid or both. I like it because it's funny and still has action in it. The first season is about these doctors who gets prisoners to volunteer to be subjects without them fully knowing what's going on. The doctors are having vaccines tested on them to see if a cure can be made for the zombie apocalypse. Everyone, except a guy named Murphy, turns into a zombie or dies and right when the doctors see Murphy survive, the zombie outbreak hits them. Z-Nation is about a group of random people tasked with having to deliver Murphy to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in California to see if they can make a cure.

     The first season has military people tasked with transporting Murphy and, eventually, the group is led by Lt. Roberta Warren. She is strong-willed, a great fighter and the only person who can tame Murphy. Murphy is not just a possible vaccine, though. He's also a mostly jerk/occasionally nice person who experiences certain side effects and keeps escaping. His skin changes colors and he has mind control over certain zombies. Other group members are: Addy, who's good at getting Z's with a bat covered in barbed wire, Doc, who's good at fighting, caring and being a doctor, even though he was a psychiatrist and 10K, the youngest member of the group, who's a good sharpshooter and wants to get 10,000 Z's, hence the name, 10K. There are other members and people the group encounters, here and there, but this is the main group.

You'll see a lot of crazy things as the group goes through different states and on different side missions. You'll see a zombie baby, possible aliens, a cartel, fast zombies and the list goes on and on. This is a show you will either love or hate. It's on Syfy and they make goofy horror stuff all of the time. It's over-the-top all the way through, so watch a few episodes before you come to your decision of if you really like it or not. Season 2 is even crazier and I liked it just as much if not more. 7/10
