This was seriously a big let-down. I can totally live with the actors being replaced. I still think it was a very bad idea to keep the original characters and names from the movie instead of inviting new ones, but that is really not my biggest problem with this series... The overall visual quality is even better then average (you simple can't expect a series to come even close to the quality of a movie, and that is OK). So what is the problem with this?
FIRST: The humor, or better, the lack of any... The jokes (and gee, are there many of them literally waiting around every corner) are very stupid and lame. There was no time in this first episode that made me even chuckle a little. So if bad humor is not your thing... stay away from this!
SECOND: There is an endless amount of plot holes and mistakes in this. Some would be acceptable, but the number of them makes you cringe. I lost all hope when a zombie was actually killed by a shot to the chest. How lazy or uninterested must a team of authors be to let something like this slip?
I think giving this less then 3 stars would be unfair. The technical aspect is better then average and the acting can at least be tolerated. Many other things in this first episode can't, so 3 stars it is.
