my biggest gripe about that show was that it was the cleanest, least destructive apocalypse I've ever seen. That, and I know this is nitpicky, but you see zombies take full brunt shotgun blasts at close range get up and their clothes aren't even torn, like, come on. Also, the school episode will piss you off way more.

That said, season 2 is pretty good.

Despite its flaws, I really enjoyed Black Summer. The zombie genre has been pretty done over, but the combination of really tough zombies plus highly cynical humans makes a good combination for a different vibe.

Black Summer is a horrible show imo.

this ? There's not a word of dialogue in the whole thing ..?

But, anyway, is such a thign as you describe really a trope? Can't say it's something I've seen a lot...

It's episode 5 not 4. My mistake.

But did you watch the first season of lost ?

I think there's an episode like what you describe in 1883.

Never could get into Lost. But this bit in the diner.. it's alright. They have no-one but themsleves and are desperate. It doesn't matter that the other person can't understand them - they just need to vent.

Yeah vent about "kids these days". That rant was such out of place phoney dialogue, the fact she couldn't understand it was just a bonus. But hey not knocking anyone who enjoyed the show.

Well, sure, but that's a somewhat different argument.

My recommendation is too just skip the entire show. The first season was really messy and just meh. The second season was just terrible.
