Peter Dee The haters on here are delusional. This show was hilarious but not everyone has a sense of humour.Firstly, the name has obviously confused a bunch of people who somehow thought the TV series should be the movie broken up into 6 or 10 parts with the same plot, actors, jokes, etc. Except this is a series and something new. Duh!Secondly, I see a lot of people complaining about plot holes and lack of realism. Guess what, Zombies aren't real and shows like Red Dwarf are FULL of plot holes but like this show, they own it and it's funny. Besides, it was a pilot. They didn't get the chance to write any scripts!! This was headed in the right direction before people who just hate on everything killed it off.Thirdly, people moaning about the swearing... seriously? Stop focusing on it and realise that it's part of the joke. Clearly, you were after some Seinfeld material instead of something edgy and funny. I saw someone's review saying "it's nothing like The Walking Dead". Yeah genius, TWD is a drama and this was.... wait for it... a comedy!!! Lastly, the actors. What were you expecting? The same AAA actors on a new series? The actors that were chosen, not only did an outstanding job, but suit the series. They were hilarious and this was just a pilot!!! Imagine if they'd had the opportunity to grow the characters.Anyhow, now we will never see what this series could've become and we have nothing in it's place, so great job, haters, you've managed to hate on something without ever seeing what it could be beyond a pilot. People like you is why we have reality TV.

bananaguy42 This was such a disappointment. In the very first scene (not a spoiler) they just say "fuck" for the first three minutes, going on about something that happened in a star bucks. The actors that were hired to replace the classic actors were terrible. The zombie makeup was completely awful. The story was absolutely horrible, the acting itself was horrible, and the writing was horrible. The jokes that would sound casual and smooth in the movie were choppy and sloppy in show. This went from a funny zombie movie to a pathetic, raunchy, TV show where "vagina" is said about forty times in the first episode. The fact that it IS a TV show means there is a lot less blood and gore and its very disappointing. Nothing at ALL like the walking dead. I can't believe this got made

bradleykirksey I loved the movie Zombieland. I've seen it a handful of times, and it cemented my man-crush on Jesse Eisenberg. It's a funny movie that balances the absurd, the funny, and packs a nice moral without ever even approaching heavy-handed.When I heard there was a TV show with no Eisenberg or Harrelson or Stone or Breslin, all stocked with actors I didn't know or didn't like, I wasn't so happy. I said it was going to be awful and that I wouldn't watch it.The result is better than I expected, but not what the movie offered, and frankly, if you go into it expecting the movie again, you'll be disappointed.The movie had some fun dialogue and a present but subtle point. The TV show is much better at slap-stick gags. It showed a commitment to the dialogue and the theme and the character development, but it was honestly boring. That part is not written nearly as well as the movie, and I strongly suspect that it won't get better over time. The slapstick gags are funny though. While predictable, there were several times I laughed out loud, which is something I seldom do for slap-stick comedy, especially if I go into it promising myself to dislike it. I had some really nice chuckles, which I seldom get from TV shows.While I understand that this was never going to be the original part II, there was one major change I seriously disliked. In the original, Tallahassee was insane, neurotic, but the smartest one of the whole bunch in his own twisted way. Columbus was the bumbling clueless one, and Tallahassee was the one who protected him from zombies and girls. In the TV show, Tallahassee has lost about 50 IQ points. He went from an insane but bright zombie killing machine to a guy who to quote the show "asks for price checks at a 99 cent store." They did a decent job at capturing everyone else's character, but they practically killed Tallahassee.The original Zombieland starred four actors with a combined four Oscar nominations. The TV show stars four people that I had barely heard of. The believably is a little stretched, Wichita no longer looks like Emma Stone, and Eisenberg's narration is no longer as fast or clear as it used to be. The storyline isn't as well written or as well acted as it was before. But it's funny. It's a TV show, so you were never going to get Eisenberg back. You were never going to get Hollywood writers working on a draft for years at a time. But it has some things right. In addition to some nice cheap laughs, it has the theme right. At the end of it all when the zombies get to us, what are you going to miss? It won't be TV, it won't be IMDb. It'll be people. As much as Wichita and the others don't want to hear it, the show keeps the family motif right, and Tallahassee still demonstrates that if life is worth living, it's worth living now. To quote the show, "If God sent you back to Earth five minutes, and those five minutes was right now, what would you do with it?" It's an important question that too many people never ask. They get up, go to a job they hate, eat food they dislike, come back to a family they resent, and spend their whole lives looking forward to the weekend, which always disappoints. And the show, like the movie, promises that there's more, and it's all around you right now. The TV show is probably heavier handed than this review while the movie was very beautifully subtle, but it's there. The TV show might be very different in form and delivery, but when it comes down to the point, it's the same in substance.So the rating breakdown goes like this for people: A handful of zombie apocalypse nuts giving this a 10, a bunch of frustrated people who wanted more of the movie giving it a 4, and a few people in the middle who like it for what it is, not what it isn't.

Drew Tucker As someone who loved the movie, I had high hopes for the series. (Although, I also wished they had gone with different characters) I then watched my hopes get sh*t upon by this monstrosity that erased 30 mins of my life. The acting is pathetic, the "humor" is lame and the plot holes are literally infuriating. One of the most irritating issues I have is that the actors appear to be performing watered-down versions of the characters in the film. (One previous reviewer complained that Tallahassee's character went from "bad ass" to "retard." I would agree with that statement) Amazon, you're better than this - please let this abomination die!
