There's plenty of nightmarish visuals of a Brazilian zombie apocalypse in this semi-remake of Dead Set... The make-up and visual effects are surprisingly good and quite gruesome. I would say the visual design is most certainly the highlight and best part of this series. I am not certain why a near identical remake from the beginning (with some details swapped) was necessary, but the story does begin to deviate as the plot carries past the original film. The setting of Brazil is interesting and the show's set is highly detailed—with particular attention given to the lighting and atmosphere of literal decay. Although the stupidity of the game show cast is believable and of course satirical, the other characters who at first seem intelligent later prove to be even dumber than their predecessors... For really no apparent reason. Maybe they just decided to give up and abandon all reason? In the end, it all collapses into idiotic absurdity and the deviating plot offers nothing groundbreaking or memorable, with only a few interesting tidbits of pragmatic morality and character development. A good zombie horror fest, but not much else to it.
