Dead set... anybody watch it? UK

[fedpayne]

As far as I'm aware this wasn't shown in the States or anywhere else, not a BBC programme so not on BBC world, but tonight Dead Set premiered.

I don't want to write a review, so I thought I'd put it here, just want to know if anyone watched it, and what they thought. I thought it was awesome, but I'm such a Charlie Brooker lover I even liked Nathan Barley.

Ah god damn it, was that tonight? Totally forgot that was on and I actually wanted to see it too. Any idea when it'll be repeated?

Looks like it's going to be a pretty good horror series. Some brilliant comedy moments as well, generally courtesy of the producer character.

Producer character... aka Charlie's Brooker's author insertion persona.

Hmm, don't know when it'll have time to be repeated, the next episode is tonight...

It's on over five nights I think, one hour per show including ads. The first one was last night, I didn't watch it all, just the first 40 minutes or so.

If you love zombie stuff then you will love it. I thought it was a bit silly how they go into the studio so easily. Davina as a zombie is lols.

You should be able to watch it again on 4OD.

I watched last night, I wont make a review because I'm an engineer damnit not a writer!
BUT its well worth watching. Even if its just for watching Divina whats her name get bitten and turn into a zombie!
The humor is dark, the effects are great, and so far the story line has been preety catching, well worth a watch peeps.

I saw it. It was awesome. Gore, Big Brother people being eaten and Zombina McCall.

For those in the UK that missed it I'm sure it'll probably end up on here:

This. I was too busy counting the zombies here. 4OD on the way.

 

[sirdanrhodes]

DAMN, where's 4OD?

 

[blackcherry]

Really wanted to but have no TV (darn uni ). Nah will catch up with it probably on 4OD

 

[Jamash]

I totally forgot about it & presumed that the pilot was being broadcast Halloween night.

Thank God for 4OD, I've just checked & it's on there, I'm going to watch it now, much safer watching it in my room in the daytime!

I've also just realised that 4OD is L33t speak for God... coincidence?

DAMN, where's 4OD?

www.channel4.com/4od - You just need to download & install a 4OD program thingy & register, then you can watch Dead Set in the daytime too.

Don't be deterred by all the mention of money & credit card details, lots of cool stuff is free & you don't need to give out any credit card information, that's only for if you want to rent films, I think.
I've never paid for anything or given out my non-existent card details & I've watched a shit load of stuff, for example every episode or every series of Peep Show & The Adam & Joe Show, all for free.

 

[anNIALLator]

Yeah, I enjoyed it. Fast zombies FTW.

Same thing happened to me, switched on TV, saw it had 5 minutes to go and decided to leave it.

 

[stevetastic]

i thought it was good more violent and less funny then i thought
zombie head+fire extinguisher=AWESOME

 

[rowan-thats-me]

um, is it on tonight, if so, what time?

 

[Jamash]

I've just had an idea, I'm going to download all the episodes onto my computer from 4OD first, then I'm going to watch it all as one single film, rather than have it broken up by adverts & 24 hours.

Oh, how I love 4OD!

What do you guys think, is this a better way to watch it?

Or do you think it was made to be watched in instalments, 24 hours apart like the real Big Brother, so you have a day to digest the previous nights events & look forward to the next episode & any cliffhangers?

That's a good idea actually, think I'll do the same with Sky Plus

 

[wewontdie11]

Thanks for making me aware of 4OD everybody, just watched the first one and I must say I'm fairly impressed. Definitely going to be watching the one that's on tonight. I hope zombie Davina is a recurring undead character, I thought she was hilarious. Somebody just told me on MSN they thought she looked hot as a zombie though....

 

[electric discordian]

Im watching episode 2 at the moment its hilarious and Nihilistic at the same time which is quite and achievement. It will finish as my birthday starts!
