Pilot



Has a lot of potential
I actually really enjoyed watching this episode...and this is coming from someone who was telling his friends how much it was going to suck. Yeah, it lacks the charm of the old cast, but makes up for it with the new cast and a new type of charm. I like that they continue to keep the comedy alive with a hint of a love story, and although the main focus of the story feels a little dry, I think they have a lot going on! I will definitely keep watching if they keep coming out with new episodes.

A poor man's version of the original
I wanted to love Zombie Land, as a fan of the original. I really did. After watching, I mentioned to friends that it'd make an excellent TV show (not realizing the movie was originally pitched as a TV show ).

However the pilot felt like Zombieland sans the wit that made Zombieland funny. Sure, you have continuation of the story, but do we really want to see someone else try to recreate Woody Harrelson's Tallahassee? I'd probably enjoyed a fresh new batch of characters rather than have other actors reprise the roles of A-list actors, which made the original great.

I'm not one to rail on plot holes but every other human encountered happened to be surviving in the strangest of ways. Were we supposed to believe that a window washer continued washing windows during the zombie apocalypse, or a woman survived in a tent in the middle of LA and yet another survivor was just hanging out in a construction yard without weapons? Granted Zombieland is a comedy, it didn't even...

Liked it- would love to see more.
Was surprised at how good it was-- room to get better but has a lot of potential. My husband and I were a little disappointed there was no ep. 2 yet. Hope this gets picked up so we can see more!
