Episode 293: Zomvivor intro and part 1
There are over 30 characters on the poster for this Thai Netflix effort, and none of them are zombies. That's right, it is a Bangkok university based zombie outbreak story with effectively half a dozen boy bands all vying for the attention of 3 girls - the bright top of the class Ning, the arrogant actress Lily and the morbid goth Prau. The guys all have slightly different outfits and haircuts, a la battle of the Asian boy bands however, that being said, it's alright.
After one episode it is clear this is not ALL OF US ARE DEAD. Nowhere near. Not even close, Bud. Is is better than BLOCK Z? I think so. Ning and her group meet up with her brother Noon and her boyfriend?? Zan's group, making 16 of them escaping the zombies across campus to hold out at the under construction library. They put out a message on the PA system forwarding a military signal on the radio about chopper rescue, before water and power go down. And her message is heard, by the armed boy band in the rain, and the scaredy boy band in the hallways. So I will have another 8 boys to learn the names of in the next episode. As the power going out means the zombie will no longer have bright lights to stare at in a docile manner, so now head towards the living meat at the library.
It's ok. I have seen far worse. Onto Episode 2...
