Review: 'Z Nation'
Review: 'Z Nation'

No limit exists on zombie shows (although perhaps one should be imposed), but since "The Walking Dead" is out there -- with a companion spinoff in the works -- a new entry really ought to unearth something new. From that perspective, Syfy's "Z Nation" has more guts than brains, essentially trotting out an old-fashioned wagon-train western, with a hardy band running a zombie gantlet trying to reach California. Along the way, the show serves up one doozy of a twist, and otherwise a lot of slavering, mindless flesh-eaters chasing our intrepid heroes. Think of it as the fast-food alternative to "Dead's" more-flavorful dish. Unwilling to waste even a minute...
