    On of the best new shows out now. Since Breaking Bad ended, we are left with Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. Now, thanks to the BBC, we also have Orphan Black and In the Flesh. One of the very few must watch series for me right now.

    Decriminalizing a sickness is a first for Western Civilization if Britain can still be considered as such.

    At first, I wasn't sure about the premise. But the show surprised me. It takes a different look at zombies than any I had seen before. Done wrong, it could have been a disaster. But with solid writing and strong acting, I started to care for the characters and what they were going through. It's a solid show and I'm curious to see where they go from here.

    A bit sentimental, A bit obvious, but the potential is overwhelming. Emily Bevan was absolutely fun to watch. The acting is mostly great. The direction is mostly passive/sneaky.

    Never a fan of zombie anything but, thought this was so well done. So much symbolism, and great characters. I feel let down that it ended after 3 episodes. One part of me feels that it was the perfect time to end but, I would love to know more about these amazingly interesting characters.

    A very strong drama that is layered with meaning. Doesn't deal with typical "zombie" show/film tropes. Enjoyable and easy to care for and most times connect to the characters in one way or another, even if they're not the person you find yourself liking. Highly recommend.

    An atmospheric thriller wrapped around a nugget of social commentary.

    In the Flesh, which runs just three hours over the three nights, is best not analyzed too deeply for meaning and just enjoyed for its odd and fascinating concept.
