A nice zombie drama but nothing more

I heard a lot about "All of us are dead" and my expectations were indeed in the drama. However, I think it's not a memorable drama: it was nice to watch, there was some suspense, some gore but the story is really very (too?) basic.
I would even say that there are quite a few inconsistencies in the writing... but that's not disturbing since it's not meant to be a deep drama and known for being intelligently written.

What I liked:
- The suspense left in each episode: very good endings each time that make you want to know what happens next.
- The special effects: zombies, sets, make-up, framing, editing.
- The fact that we get to know the different characters as they are really in danger.
- Being able to skip the long, uninteresting scenes and still understand the drama without being lost.


What I didn't like:
- The fact that we don't feel any sympathy for the characters who have been harassed and that they are the real black beasts: why?
- Moments in the script that don't make sense: characters who take actions for nothing and the show tries to justify it but it's not coherent. Many questions that remain unanswered and yet are central to the drama? The explanations of the origin of the virus and its evolution given by the scientist are vague, incoherent and really, we have the impression to be taken for fools.
- We follow several people at the same time, some of whom have no interest whatsoever? We focus 3 halves of the episode on characters who don't exist anymore right after and yet, they don't die... they are just erased from the scenario?
- Unnecessary scenes too long

To sum up, watchable and enjoyable but don't expect it to be the drama of the century as some people say! Have fun!
