Zomboat! (2019)
6/10
Crazyhead version 2.0
15 October 2019
"Hey, remember that hot girl from Downton who went round Bristol whacking demons with a baseball bat with her not quite as hot but funny friend? Let's do something like that!"

That's how imagine the pitch went at the production meeting.

So far it's not quite as much fun or as well written as Crazyhead, but it's got Cara Theobold in it who's always watchable and gives everything to the part however flimsy the story.

The title is rubbish and the sort of thing that I imagine the writer's nine year old niece might have come up with. The humour will appeal to the millennial demographic more than baby-boomers.

I'm surprised it's not on E4 rather than ITV2 as it seems more their kind of thing. Overall it's not rubbish, but it's not great either. There's not much that's worthy of criticism and I'll carry on watching it. It's only three hours over a six episode span, so what could go wrong...?
