TV Review: Zombieverse (2023) (Reality TV)

Zombieverse
2023
8 episodes
MA15+
Reality TV
Netflix

In Seoul, where a zombie virus outbreak has run amok, who will outwit the undead in the face of challenging quests and come out alive? (Synopsis)

It's hard to know what to say about Zombieverse. Perhaps it's best to preface my comments by explaining that this is essentially a horror-comedy reality TV show. Various celebrities are caught up in a "zombie apocalypse" and have to escape. On the plus side, it was excellent Korean listening practice since the dialogue was semi-unscripted and therefore quite natural. There were also plenty of entertaining and amusing moments. However, the general stupidity began to wear on me after a while. The decisions they made were so useless so much of the time, had it been real they'd likely all have died in short order. As such I am giving it 3 stars. It was okay and was good practice but one watch was most definitely enough.
