I don't get what you're trying to say - zombie films should be gory and suspenseful and this TV programme was too - as I said, a successful and worthy addition to the canon - so what's your problem with it?

Oh fuck off. You know that wasn't what I was suggesting. It's all very well making another installment of a well-known franchise but it isn't too much to ask them to do something new with it.
Each Romero film added a new dimension to the zombie franchise, that's what made them so great. This show didn't add anything.

It's not a Romero film though
It didn't need to add anything, it just needed to be a fun ride, which it certainly was

You're the only who's suggesting what a zombie film 'needs' to be. It certainly needed some more in it to excite me.
Alright?

Well since you've singularly failed to provide even one so far, it clearly is a big ask.
I've got one - copulating zombies that breed ultra quick.
The onus isn't on me to come up with an idea on the spot, you stupid prick. That's not the nature of criticism.

Yeah, exactly. And don't forget that there's a shitload of horror films which aren't tense and gory (well, tense anyway), and making something suspensful and involving like Dead Set isn't as easy as it looks.

No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...
Land of the Dead and Diary of the Dead were fucking dire, Diary which I just saw wasn't fit to tie deadset's showlaces.

It added a zombie Davina. I've never seen that in any Romero film.

Did anyone in a Romero film have explosive diarrhea in a wastepaper bin while trapped in a small room with a disgusted, dim, young Scottish woman?

Damnit!
Will I ever come up with an idea that Bonnie Tyler doesn't steal, then travel back in time to use?
He's never even heard of you.
