A zombie show with an interesting premise, but becomes frustrating to watch gradually.

The show definitely had me the first episode. It has an interesting origins for the zombie virus, and they show you how it starts and how it affects the city throughout each episode. There are different characters, and you see their story and their reasons for doing what they do. There are some characters will you root for. Characters with strong survival skills and logical thinking, and they are similar to Daryl and Michonne from The Walking Dead if you've ever seen it. That's the good I have to say about the show.

As for the bad, this show becomes increasingly frustrating to watch. You're going to wonder why certain characters do idiotic things or wait for bad things to happen. Some characters you expect to fulfill their roles later on. One student is big and strong, he carries a door and uses it to hold off some zombies. In a later episode, I expected him to help bust down a door, but instead they had some of the weaker students try to do it. Logically, it makes no sense. Its very irritating to watch.

Speaking of irritating, one of the main antagonists will not go down. There are plenty of chances for him to die, yet because of the virus (aka "plot armor") he just constantly gets back up and gets to do whatever he wants. I get that he's a villain, but as someone who loves well written villains, he needs more. Most characters get flashbacks and a backstory, this one guy does not. If the writers had made him a more relatable, maybe he wouldn't be so annoying. But he's just evil for the sake of being evil.

I understand these are just teenagers, so that may give reasoning for their dumb decision making. However, they make several references to zombie films and are aware of what zombies are. I would think that if they know about zombies, they would know more about how zombies are and how to kill them. But you're not gonna see that for a while, until way later in the series.

All of us are Dead did hook me with the first few episodes, but then it started testing my patience. I really wish they didn't make it so obnoxious to watch in later episodes, and I don't plan on re-watching it again.
