I'm not sure, I just watched the pilot and although I had done a load of digging on the internet a while ago about Zombieland 2 probably not happening and a series probably happening with the same actors...rumour after rumour...I was surprised to see that there it is finished and ready to watch online right now!
First of all I was met with the initial sinking disappointment that this means there definitely is no Zombieland 2 but the double blow that it doesn't feature AT LEAST Woody Harelson...booo.
Still, I love Zombies and I loved the movie although it was just a little too heavy on the silly for me, like the Bill Murray bit which was still awesome just took away the realism a bit, so I was still excited for the TV show and had to watch it immediately (despite already watching Land Of The Dead and finishing off Volume 18 of The Walking Dead already tonight!)
First of all, the opening was funny and impressive in terms of gore and action, although from the get go I could tell this was going to be a lot more of a comedy than the movie. But still I can deal with that, then I saw the new Tallahassee...I was thinking to myself, "That can't be him?!"
This new guy definitely grew on me but he just wasn't BAD ASS! And that was how he was in the film! This guy was funny and great and everything but Woody oozes a cool that this guy so far just hasn't got the ability to pull off, or maybe that's just how they've written him.
So other than pulling the show apart with the differences to the movie, (Witchita's casting is a miss fire) it was good. Funny, very gory and some cool action. i hope it at least gets a first season so I can see where they take things.
From this first episode for me it felt a bit like Scrubs with zombies, it lacked the emotion of the film such as finding out about Tallahassee's tragic past which it needed something like that to pull me in, saying that it certainly didn't look cheap which was a worry for me, the effects and zombie kills were great, Columbus was great as was Littlerock.
It's got potential, lets see what happens...
One other thing, do you have to destroy the brain of these Zombies? I'm sure they killed one with just a shot to the chest...
