About

Dead Set Season 1 (2008) is released on Oct 27, 2008. Watch Dead Set online - the English Comedy TV series from United Kingdom. Dead Set is directed by Yann Demange and created by Charlie Brooker with Paul 'Bubble' Ferguson and Jaime Winstone.

It's eviction night at the Big Brother house, but something very strange is happening; the dead are coming alive and attacking the living. When zombies attack all of the audience outside, the Big Brother contestants are unaware of the death outside the fan-proof (and zombie-proof) big brother house until the show's runner, Kelly, comes into the house and warns them of the doom outside. Stuck with even less contact with the outside world, the house-mates must sneak out of the house to get supplies, without being seen by the zombies.

[T]he first hour felt like a nimble zombie-combo, with George A. Romero's satirical spirit playing right alongside the more modern, gore-heavy 28 Days Later style.

Having watched the pilot last night, I'm pretty sure it's going to be my new favorite panic attack for awhile.

It's also a perfect example of the benefits of aiming low. A lot of the mechanics of the plot are familiar from its many predecessors, but the new context and the care lavished on it holds the attention.
