Spoiler free review Season 1 was quite a mess. too many things were happening too quickly. characters were severly underdeveloped. So few heroes made it into the show and those few heroes barely did what they do ingame. Although the story itself was actually good, i just wished there were.. more. Instead what we got feels like such a rushed product. Season 2 completely fell apart. Nothing happening on screen made sense anymore. Villians of the show werent even Dota2 heroes anymore and again everything felt rushed even more so than the first season. Only this time, the story got worse. This was the worst season undoubtedly. also.. look what they did to my boy pangolier. they butchered him beyond belief Season 3 however picked up and wraped things up very well. I enjoyed this season most and wished the whole series had been like this pacing wise. And for once i actually felt something watching it. Though once again i have no clue why they flashed some more dota2 heroes only to have them do... nothing. The story for this season was compelling and carried great emotional weight. I did not want a season 3 after watching season 2. But now i'm left wanting more.

The cast did a great job here. My 1 critique would be that the MC is a bit too superman. I believe i would care for his well being a lot more if he doesnt casually fight 1v30 so much. I mean, if you show us that he's perfectly capable of fighting 1v30 while injured, there really wouldnt be any tension when in the next scene he's doing 1v5, right? on the other hand, i was full on scared for the rest of the cast's life especially during the final encounter. Overall, great show 9/10 would recommend

not the best, not the worst either. The drag is pretty apparent. The show has more twists than a transforming Korean zombie though so i'm all up for that. The happy ending feels rather forced to me. The dude should've been gone and forgotten but then he actually isnt? ok sure.

spoiler-ish review. 1. Scenes and storylines that lead to absolutely nothing: too many times would a character have so much screen time only to die for no pay off. I guess in the real world people die without pay off all the time but still, it's a movie, why show us if it affects literally no one. 2. unlikable characters: acting is quite meh, I couldn't sense fear or tension from them most of the time. Most female characters are unbearable while all male ones are text book stereotypes (the tech-nerd, the chubby goofball and his sidekick, the bully, the handsome sportive guy that girls want, the over-protecting dad, the one good cop in the world, and of course the MC goodguy that cares about everyone. (to be fair, i kinda like the goodguy here, reminds me of...me back in the day) 3. Too many zombie cliches: a: freezing and flashbacks in front of zombies b: unnecessary/stupid sacrifices c: inconsistent zombie behaviour: they would sometimes smell/hear people from across the country, other times people can walk right pass, turning rate is variable of course, you name it d: inconsistent zombie death: how do they actually die in this movie? fall off a building? stabbed a dozen of times? absolutely fine. Arrow to the neck? dead. e: the military and police being utterly useless 4. The fact that they acknowledge zombie movies exist, and yet everyone still acts and reacts as if they have never see anything like it. 5. Logic? I dont think people, students even, can still run and fight so effortlessly after that lack of food and water 6. Plot armor: THICK plot armor in this one 7: The dad... yea i hate this one so much i'm just going to put this here Redeeming qualities: 1: the set up: I think the set up of a zombie apocalypse happening at a school is pretty cool, and the enviroment is pretty well utilized. They also constantly moved and found new tools to use to fend against the dead. pretty good 2: the MC: I have no clue how he can run in that thick of an armor but still i thought he did alrght. He is the one guy i root for. like i said he reminds me of nerd me Overall: I'm sure i missed somethings in the review. The series is not good, of course, but i think it's not the worst i've seen. I still hated peninsula a lot more than this.
