Lifeless is Painful

Well... I really wanted Lifeless to be something more.

Lifeless premiered today on Fearnet.com, just one notch above appearing on SyFy. I do not see how this could have been passed off as a TV series in any country. I have so far watched two of the three episodes created. The first episode appeared that it was filmed in the 70's in black and white then later colorized. Maybe it was because of the full screen mode, maybe it was filmed 30 years ago and recently found.

The episode itself was only 15 minutes long. Well short of the industry standard of about 20 minutes. I can't see setting up a series in 15 minutes. Maybe it was a good thing because I only wasted 15 minutes instead of 20.

The acting was nothing short of a high school drama class. I think the acting in Zombie Strippers was award winning compared to the actors in this show.

As far as episode 2, the color was a bit better, although I think it was because 90% of the episode was a flashback and not really that good. Other than that and the episode being almost 21 minutes, everything is almost the same. Some time loss or skipping appeared to have happened in the plot (Plot hole maybe?) which begs to ask why they didn't look for Richard the whole time.

I am not looking forward to episode three at all. I now know what it is like to transform into a zombie. One more episode and you will have to "Smash my skull in".....

'A' for effort, 'F' for everything else. full article.

Sorry for the delay, but I was legally brain dead for a while, then moved to ICU after watching episode 3..... Same crap.

Aside from a large plot hole in the last 2 minutes of the show, that was the most intense part and wasn't half bad. But only the last two minutes.......

I hope they decide to let it R.I.P Confused

That sucks man.

I've seen the pilot a while ago and wasn't pleased with the acting and camera work, but still I thought they would be able to shape it up a little before they would air it...

Damn....I hope the Walking Dead is gonna be a better show...

There is another zombie web series out called The Last Stand.

I haven't watched it, but by the previews it looks a notch above Lifeless...
