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.

All of Us Are Dead is incredibly grim and yet very banal. We see violent bullying, suicide, sexual assault, using hostages for testing - and yet none of that really adds to the story. It was obvious that the writers were running out of ideasAll of Us Are Dead is incredibly grim and yet very banal. We see violent bullying, suicide, sexual assault, using hostages for testing - and yet none of that really adds to the story. It was obvious that the writers were running out of ideas about five episodes in and decided to go for the most shocking route. It didn't keep me on the edge of my seat. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Entertaining for the first half, high intensity zombie drama, but quality decreases and repetitive over time
