Well, I highly recommend this one. This is a short series originally aired on 2008. The story takes place in England around the TV set where Big Brother is being produced. The zombies are credible, there are some good gory moments, the story is original and the acting is decent. You'll get to see some great scenes and some terribly boring ones as well and quite a strange ending. I think this one is a must for any Zombie-Fiction Lover like me

I have seen this one ,at first it was like..."um omg zeds+ big bro? haha" I wondered ,how much a standard movie it would be,as i watched 1 ep it was pretty longish, but in the end zeds say hello and the nasty stuff starts to happen all the time :I I said that the beginning was longish but it "showed the who is who" perfectly plus i like the flick because it is a gory satire of all this dumb reality shows,i think the concept is great. In the end i give 100% support to Kyra's claim, it is a must see and it is suited for the people who saw Romero's classics just to see what can be added to a zed flick and how can it be different from the rest of the genre. Btw Kyra have you seen COLIN??

I've seen the series a couple of times, it's brilliant. It can get a little abrasive - the characters are constantly "full-on". I suspect this is because it was shown as a series and not meant to be viewed in one long sitting. Don't go expecting another dawn of the dead, though. This is one of those "gritty" British types we're apparantly so famous for producing

One of my faves. The ending was great too, but I'm not going to give that away for those that haven't seen it.

Amazing series. One of the best zombie series ever really, just the reality of it all and the ending. Brilliant really.

If U like Dead Set watch Survivors, no Zombies but post-apo World; unfortunely the BBC canceled it after the second season.
