In The Flesh

Uhhh, I'm watching the first episode of the second series before I leave for work here. There's something that rings true to me about the first season. I'll comment back later on it.

EDIT: Okay, this show is fantastic. Seriously.

I feel like it's relatable to me due to the simple fact that PDSS are being discriminated against for something that they had absolutely no control over (as far as we know, the show hasn't really explained how the Rising came about). I pineappleing yelled at my TV on several occasions because, like Roarton, I live in a small town where everyone knows everybody. To have basically you're whole community, the people you grew up with, EVERYONE disowning you (and some even wanting to kill you)... it's just terrible. People are literally the worst.

Yeah, I think they did a really good job of showing small town mentality, especially in a place as grim as the north of England.

It's also kind of interesting that the main character is both a zombie AND gay, which causes him some trouble in the first season, and then in the second season we have a black woman who is super, super racist towards zombies. I just find that really interesting.
