Zoo started off with a great upside. The idea of animals going crazy and destructing the existence of humans was a great evil one for a sci-fi show. Show started of well as far as the plot goes. I didn't like either Abe or Chloe. I mean it is an American TV show. What were two actors that have very weird accents doing there? The other casting is really good imo. Especially Billy Burke. The man is a legend.

Season 1 was good. They had all these animals going crazy then tieing them up to leopards and finding the cure. Until the end. Whose idea was to kill of a character EVERY season and then bring them back? I would have preferred everyone on that plane being missing or some of them getting eaten by sharks or something. Despite these it was still good.

Then we go the season 2, Jamie is alive which I was happy about. In season 2, the lazy writing started getting exposed. How does both Elizabeth and Jackson turn into psycho apex predators and Robert doesn't? Or how did Jamie figure out Caraquet? By looking to the map? Am I missing something? I think I don't. Sterilizing humanity was okay too, I give that a pass. And as said before I didn't really like Chloe so it didn't bother that she died. Also I wonder what happened to that old lady Vera Salvon?? She was there to produce to cure and we didn't see her. They casted her out just to kill Jackson's dad.

Season 3 tho... I think the pacing of this show was too fast that the writers ran out of ideas. You start asking yourself questions. How does the qriters think that their audience is this dumb? How many stupid decisions can these characters make? Oh here is a crazy hybrid, let me get in the same caravan with it. Oh, here is our biggest enemy let's not kill her but actually bring her back to life (she died and came back but it is still dumb). Jamie was right, they show mercy and it bites them and the writers know it. Another thing is that how did Mitch find Clem?? She was kidnapped. How did Clem get out of the capsule by herself? Last time I checked that wasn't possible. They kept having these plot holes. They kept writing these stupid storylines which got the show cancelled eventually. I mean whose idea was it to kill Mitch? Seriously? They didn't tried once tho. They killed him TWICE and brought him back to life TWICE. WHAT IS YOU DOING??? And in the finale, they just thought that a dumb clifdhanger would give them another renewal. Well it did not.

I feel sorry fot Billy Burke lol. He is a great actor but his shows get cancelled b/c of poor writing to appeal the masses. Which is now proving that it doesn't appeal masses.
