In The Flesh

[Empired]

If you've been around the Help Desk since Monday you might well have noticed I've been watching this. I finished earlier this afternoon and it's honestly the best bit of TV I've ever watched. I enjoyed it so much I'm so sad it's over. I've been watching it with the lovely @welshcake; and @Zealoux; xxx

There are 2 seasons, three episodes in S1 and six in S2 all an hour each. The show was cancelled by BBC Three three weeks ago but there are currently petitions for Amazon and Netflix to pick up the show, with 35,000ish signatures on one of them and about 25,000 on the other.

It's a show about the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse, where all the "rotters" are treated with daily doses of medicine to make them human again. In The Flesh follows the story of an 18 year-old boy who committed suicide trying to fit back into his life, but he lives in a very xenophobic village up in the North of England.

Has anyone else seen this? If you haven't, I'd thoroughly recommend. You can buy both seasons for £7.50 from the BBC or they're fairly easy to *ahem* find. Go go go x

Is the ending any good? I'm scared, you 'noooooo'd throughout it all.

It's very predictable but I'm really enjoying it.

I loved this it was really well done, more so the first season though since aspects of the second didn't make a lot of sense (random council woman has far too much power for one thing) and I saw the ending a mile off, although to be fair that's because the same thing happened in a film. Would love a third season to come around some time

It's such a great show! It really hooks you in and the charachters are all so interesting hopefully someone picks it up for another season

Yeah how come everyone was just ok with that??? Like I'm sure someone could have called for help outside of Roarton and someone would have come along. Also I hated Philip even more than Maxine I absolutely couldn't stand his character ugh I hoped and hoped and hoped he'd be killed off.

And @thms; woooOoo! you wont regret xx

Edit: I ordered it from the BBC shop last night and it's just been dispatched so yay x
