If I had to break it down into a sentence I'd describe it as Emmerdale with the cast divided between humans and zombies. Yes you read that correctly - Zombies! However this is a world away from the likes of The Walking Dead (which this blogger also recommends), this series deals with the aftereffects of a zombie cure and the effects reintegrating them has on the village of Roarton.
Set after "the rising" the undead have been cured with injections (which they need to take to prevent them going feral again) and given contact lenses and makeup and repatriated back into their homes. As opposed to zombies they are labelled PDS (Partially Deceased Syndrome) sufferers. This is very much a drama so don't go coming in expecting action but it does what the BBC does best creating original British Drama. 'also a thinly veiled Ukip allegory in a radical pro living party called Victis, with the MP Maxine Martin being the best TV villain of the moment.
Anyway, give it a view as its must see if rather unknown TV...
