In the Flesh
Has anyone watched this three-part BBC zombie series? It was really good! An original spin on the zombie genre where a treatment is found and the zombies are rehabbed and considered to have Partially Deceased Syndrome. (Which sounds funny, but it's really quite a dramatic and tragic show.)
Really great acting from everyone, and nice to see a gay lead character. I look forward to S2, as three eps was far too short. It would've really benefited from more time to develop the conflicts.
Even so, I have all the feels and really cared about the characters in a short period of time. Of course my main complaint is:
WTF RICK DIED AGAIN. Sigh. Why can't we ever have nice gay things? Like it wasn't tragic enough already? This was like a fix-it fic where the character dies again. So unfair! I could obviously see it coming, and at least Rick's asshole dad got his.
But...*wibbles* Rick clearly needs to rise from the dead again so he and Kieren can unlive happily ever after. :((
Still, as I said, nice to see leading canon gay characters in a genre show, even if it ends tragically as per the usual.
Man, the ending where Kieren's dad talked about finding his body was just heartbreaking. I just finished watching it before making this post, so I'm all stuffed up from crying.
It'll definitely be interesting to see where they go in season two.
