This story begins with Josh introducing us to his background with the nuclear attack and its aftermath. He comically narrates the present day conditions of his post-apocalyptic world by giving a tour through the streets of his hometown. Josh is on a mission to find his lost love, girlfriend Sam who lost contact with during a football game in the nuclear strike. He tells us about how the high school cliques have become survival groups, several animal species have mutated into hideous monsters and most adults are now brain damaged, flesh-craving zombies. One of cliques I found entertaining are the simple-minded "jocks" who have adopted a "Road Warrior" culture. An offshoot of the jocks is the "golf club" which Josh later encounters. He ends up rescuing a pyromaniac little girl (he used to hate babysitting) by mistake instead of Sam from them. The golfers and rest of the Road Warrior jock end up trailing Josh, Pyro girl and a newly met samurai kid back to one of Josh's hideouts. Josh and company hurl balloons 🎈full of blood at the jocks which attracts hordes of zombies (called "ghoulies"). Josh and his friends escape to a mall when a mysterious "Baron" corners them at the chained backdoor of a shop. That's where it ends. I'll be watching the coming episodes to see what happens next. Good show!

This TV series Is very clever. Only people who watch 80s movies and horror will get the references such as Ferris Bueller's Day off which Matthew Broderick is in the first episode. They have the right mix of goofiness satire comedy and drama.It can be cheesy sometimes but I think that's what they were going for. I enjoy it it's a fresh take on zombies/Ghoulies apocalypse. The acting is awesome! I mean These kids are acting their asses off ,and it makes it a very entertaining show. The special effects were on point,writings on point. The show had mishmash of 80s classics like Mad Max,Dawn of the dead ,breakfast club Ferris Bueller as I said before I've only seen three episodes. Oh yeah and the soundtrack I love it !
Hilarious parody

Trying to escape itself through the 4th wall

I think the basic concept of the show is something like this: You have been told to make something that has been done a thousand times, you know exactly what the haters are going to say, so you are trying to be self aware, but since that has also been done a thousand times, you let someone narrate how you made fun of the people who hated the show that you actually never made.
Awfully complicated, isn't it? It really doesn't have a choice, it's trying to escape itself on every level. It doesn't want to be another high school drama, it doesn't want to be another zombie apokalypse, it knows that no one would take it serious if it tried to be mad max, and yet they somehow have to make a show with that ridiculous premise. They are painfully aware that they are trying to dive into a genre that has been dead and rebooted and murdered and revived all over again countless times since the 90s, and they've been there, watching, and learning to hate every single aspect of it. Yet everyone is still trying to do their job, until management called, where someone heard that "Stranger things" and the 80s are all the rage now, so it had to have a skateboard in it.
I'm just trying to make sense of what I just saw. The weirdest part is that I wouldn't call it a total failure, but it certainly set itself up to collapse under it's own weight.
- Cut to a janky exit on a skateboard.
