When I heard this was a canon prequel to zainy Sci-Fi show Z-Nation, I was ready to pass it by. But after watching the first episode, it actually felt like it belonged in the world of Zack Snyder’s Dawn of The Dead remake. Shot from the perspective of survivors spread thoughout the city, season one has them all trying to find their way to the safety of the sports stadium. Fast paced and at times, terrifying, this show was a BIG surprise to a zombie enthusiast like myself. There 2 seasons and they both go pretty quick. This would be an easy weekend binge with some snacks.
Set in the dark, early days of a zombie apocalypse, BLACK SUMMER stars Jaime King as Rose, a mother torn from her daughter who embarks upon a harrowing journey to find her. Thrust alongside a small group of American refugees, these complete strangers must find the strength they need to fight their way back to loved ones. But in order for Rose and her team to brave this hostile new world, they will need to make brutal decisions to contend with zombies – and each other.
