But I must say the Koreans have risen to the occasion, and are now outputting world-class material that provides a formidable challenge to Hollywood, and any other nation. At the heart of this gripping series is the journey of a small group of friends, torn apart by sacrifice and cruelty, kindness and savagery, but all the while growing closer together. Watching their very real pain when their friends die is truly terrible. This series manages to generate tension at times when you forget your surroundings and are yelling into the screen. And just like any other zombie genre, painful unexpected deaths get you when you least expect them. The series knows how to play with your emotions, making you cringe when sacrifices are made for seemingly senseless reasons, and when redemption is missed by mere seconds. There are plenty of twists and turns - no one is safe. The interesting idea of an internal struggle between human and zombie is also a new idea altogether.… Expand

This zombie series are positioned differently from others in the past, and it's refreshing to watch. I like how it incorporates today's pandemic scenario and protocol into this show. It makes a lot of sense and after all it's about virus. The show also has a main villain, the boss, that is unusual and unique. Each episode is a story gripping. Characters are well developed and each of them are unique individuals. Their interactions are very interesting to watch especially when they are all kept getting stuck in a confined space and trying to figure out how to escape. Consequently that is when their deep personalities reveal. There are many other supporting characters that are uniquely told and developed. This show is like mix bags of Escape Room, World War Z, Resident Evil and one other popular movie (don't want to spoil). Surprisingly this show is actually based on a Webtoon, Korean online graphic novel. That's how good this is for it to be converted into live action. It has high potential for season 2 like Squid Game but somehow it has better and thorough ending (can be stand alone without season 2) and it doesn't leave you hanging like Squid Game. Highly recommended. It's absolutely entertaining to watch. Just don't overly analyze things and after all it's just fictional show… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's such a blessing that this series is 12 episodes long. I almost binged it and it left me wanting for more and now wish I could forget it and watch again.

Man, this series was cast really nicely and there's almost every single stereotypical student/adult archetype you can think of. Each actor/actress played their role so well and it was really well acted. There's a ton of action, even more gore, with enough humour to separate it from other zombie series, with the added bonus of undertones that permeates through to the real world like how unforgiving the world can be, how we treat one another in times of crisis, what we can choose to do when every moment there's the possibility of death, and so on. No episode felt like filler, and with 12 episodes there's a lot of time to flesh out characters and the plot nicely. My favourite characters are Dae-su, Su-hyeok, Mijin and Jae-Ik. Dae-su and Mijin are priceless. Certain characters have such relatable personalities. Don't think anyone was 'annoying' at all. Music is okay-good but the sound effects are *chef's kiss*. Take a shot for every character you think will make it but did not, in the end.

It doesn't "reinvent the wheel" or anything like that but it damn sure was more than entertaining and while the ending didn't close off with a bang, it definitely laid the foundations for the 2nd season and I'm all for it.

Not gonna lie this series should be rated higher, I feel. There's a lot of eye candy actors and actresses too so there's that. Watch it, NOW. It's a nice stress reliever and you gotta hand it to the Koreans; they know how to do the zombie subgenre. It's a nice ride, you just gotta get on and enjoy it. Netflix spared no expense and it showed. The practical effects were superb.

Absolutely love this series, definitely one of the best ones I've ever watched. It's fun-tastic. Netflix, second season ASAP, please :)… Expand

L’approche est bien sûr très inspirée de l’excellent film « Dernier Train pour Busan » avec par exemple des zombis qui courent très vite… mais l’épidémie a pour épicentre un grand lycée qui va devenir un gigantesque champ de bataille, de massacre et… de survie !

C’est souvent drôle par son ironie mordante et souvent spectaculaire (les effets spéciaux sont très réussis) ; la réalisation est impressionnante, étonnamment soignée et carrément digne des meilleurs films à gros budget. Les personnages sont bien caractérisés et leur parcours permet de mettre en lumière les graves problèmes du harcèlement scolaire et la dureté de l’enseignement si l’on veut espérer intégrer une université…

Mais nos lycéens ont rapidement d’autres chats à fouetter, notamment des hordes de zombis à dérouiller… et parfois à tuer, car le zombi coréen est beaucoup plus brutal, retors et difficile à tuer que le zombi américain. Cela étant, la série reprend à son compte tous les clichés du genre : la survie impitoyable, les gentils et les salopards, les traîtres et les lâches… et tutti quanti.

Mais le rythme reste toujours très élevé sur les 12 épisodes d’une heure chacun en moyenne et on reste happé d’un bout à l’autre, du début à la fin. Les rebondissements tiennent globalement la route, sauf vers la fin, une fin qui appelle sans doute une suite… mais bon, on verra bien. Quelques choix scénaristiques étonnent (le père puis le militaire par exemple) tandis que les romances font décidément très « manga »… dans ce lycée coréen qui a tout d’un lycée… japonais !

Par ailleurs, si la guimauve peut sembler maladroite, elle reste de bien meilleure qualité que ce qu’on peut voir dans les séries hollywoodiennes, notamment ces merdes comme les Walking Dead et dérivés. Quoi qu’il en soit, une excellente série coréenne de plus dont on attend la prochaine saison avec impatience !… Expand

Korea somehow manages to make zombies more interesting compared to western movies and shows. For example, Train to Busan was absolutely stellar. My hope was that this show was on the level of that movie. So does Korea deliver another excellent zombie action or is it a big miss?

Let's get the obvious out of the way first, the zombie action is indeed exciting to watch. There are some exciting and creative sequences in this show such as the dining hall sequence which is filmed like one shot. There are some other creative sequences such as one involving a fight between two individuals on top of bookcases while zombies are underneath. Another is where the characters build a giant wall to hold off zombies while they escape the other way. Another is where they create a circular wall while getting from point A to B. All these sequences feel very original and I certainly enjoyed watching them. I also have to give a lot of praise to the makeup artist as the zombies look frighteningly good. The zombie actors also do a good job as well in making them feel inhuman and unnatural. The zombies here are definitely quite scary and that is quite a feat considering how oversaturated zombies are in media.

The actors all do a phenomenal job in their portrayal. They all manage to give their characters distinct personalities even if they are just minor characters. The actors who die and become zombies also do a great job as zombies. The story is also quite engaging despite just being mostly about surviving. The story focuses on the dynamic and relationship of the surviving school students. We see them work together but also argue and fight but it never feels over the top or anything. What the story does the best is in delivering on the emotions and there is definitely some emotional stuff. We also got a more interesting origin for the virus that is also quite sympathetic and we got some special zombies that give the situation more spice to it. They also spend a fair amount of time with the military in the series to give the audience an understanding of their response to the virus. There is also quite a bit of romance in this and it surprisingly works well despite the situation not being the exact best for this.

However, there is a lot of characters in this show and honestly maybe too many. The show doesn't just focus on one group of survivors and instead multiple groups which lead to a lot of characters to pay attention to. What can be annoying is that a fair amount of these characters have nothing interesting to them but the series still spends a fair amount of time on them. If a character doesn't have an interesting backstory or personality then they are probably going to die which results in predictable deaths. There are also some characters that are just in the series for no reason such as a streamer that I felt added nothing to the plot apart from taking screen time away from actual interesting characters. Additionally, there are so many moments in this series where a character makes a really stupid decision that is frustrating to watch. Also, the characters not going for the head is a big annoyance. It also gets annoying when some characters stand around instead of helping their friend who is being attacked. The series is also a bit too long and can feel a bit exhausting to watch. It is 12 episodes but after watching, it definitely felt like the series could at least be cut down by 2 episodes. There is a lot of sequences where it does just feel like they are padding for time. For example, we will have scenes where we watch characters stand around or just building and not talking or a scene where they share chocolate and it all feels too long and pointless. There is a "villain" in the show and that person is WAY too overused and gets defeated in the same way like 4 times, to the point that it is kind of laughable. There are also some potentially interesting plot lines that they could've explored but it is never utilized or explored. There are also some characters that just die for shock value which sucks as it feels like the show would be more interesting if they were kept alive. Overall, All of Us Are Dead is a thrilling and exciting zombie show that unfortunately stumbles on all the subplots created. I did come out a little disappointed that they didn't utilize everything the show introduced effectively but it was still a really good time. It does end with a potential tease for season 2 and it might resolve some of the remaining plot threads from season 1. The ending is also quite interesting and it does make me wonder what direction they could go in. Thus I am hopeful for a season 2 despite the show's shortcomings.… Expand

Some of the contrivances in this are just insane. Your suspension of disbelief must be at an all-time high to excuse some of the characters ridiculous/poor decisions. That doesn't make it a bad show though. However, it does mean you'll be satSome of the contrivances in this are just insane. Your suspension of disbelief must be at an all-time high to excuse some of the characters ridiculous/poor decisions. That doesn't make it a bad show though. However, it does mean you'll be sat there saying things like: "Omg would you just close the door behind you ffs"

"Omg would you run, run, like seriously! RUN! You have so much time!"

"Just tell her! Omg just tell him! Talk to each other ffs!"

"Why are you still standing there? Omg do something!"

"Can no one see that? It's right there, are these people blind?"

"Wait at the end of the last episode he was about to... How is he... what?"

Now, if you can ignore all the times you'll feel this way, WHICH WILL BE A LOT, it's an okay zombie show. Initially I was worried about teen angst, I don't like teen drama, its usually boring and revolves around people not saying things that could easily solve 90% of any and all problems. Luckily the show splits its focus from time to time, and we get to see different groups of people dealing with very different situations. It's a good break from the Teen angle and lets us see glimpses of how the world is reacting to this situation. I think if this were written a bit better, with less contrivances, and characters I actually cared about, I could've given it a higher score.

I think if people are overly positive about this it's the whole K-pop vibe people are on... Essentially, anything Korean gets a pass due to pop culture favouritism. Whereas, if people are overly negative, it's potentially due to the cliched teen drama, contrivance filled writing and dumb character decisions that they can't overlook for the sake of entertainment. Look, it's no Kingdom. It's no Train to Busan (THE 1ST ONE OMG that second movie was baaaad). But it's an okay watch.

Oh, one last thing... Too many episodes.… Expand

The show is close to a 10, highly addictive and bingey, not cringey. I am not one of those blindly love everything Korean people but I just found this highly entertaining. Better than Squid Game.

Sad excuse for zombie series with the instantly turning zombies. If you like teen drama with bad acting and dubbing this might be for you. Comes nowhere near the walking dead in quality.

Great ensemble cast. Fully engaging characters. Every death hurt. Came to care for each character and was on edge of my seat hoping that each character made to the end of the season let alone each episode.
