Zunami

Made it through the previous episodes with some degree of cringing but not too much. Until now.

The whole DJ Qualls 'Citizen Z' storyline is becoming a lame duck joke of an affair. The acting is not good from him but some of his impressions over the radio are decent. I've seen this actor before somewhere and his contributions were just as unmemorable as in this series, but I cannot recall where from exactly (nor do I want to). Yes, the comedy is intended but this isn't comedy so much as torture to watch. Even with knowing it's a sci-fi show this character (or more the portrayal of it) is somewhat pointless and the airtime given to the escapades of 'Citizen Z' has to be fillers for lack of other, more relatable, content from the writers.

I highly suspect there is more of this to come. How long I can stand it is yet to be experienced and discovered. Not much, after this episode.

Better to just not giveaway anything about this ep and just tell you it's great.

The survivors have not eaten or drunk water for three days and they are dehydrated and weak to proceed. When they see the huge herd of zombies coming on their direction, they use their last effort to reach a morgue. However they are trapped inside and the only way to protect themselves is hiding inside the cold chambers. Meanwhile Citizen Z discovers a Russian pod from the International Space Station and soon he befriends the Russian astronaut Yuri. When he sees that his dog has not moved since the arrival of Yuri, he suspects that the astronaut has poisoned the dog. Murphy leaves the morgue that is crowded of zombies and finds a mother and her daughter hidden in a building. He steals their water and supplies and let their husband and father that has turned into zombie to get inside the building. Will Murphy abandon his group in the morgue? Who is Yuri and what did he do with the dog?

"Zunami" shows Citizen Z completely deranged alone in the base with his dog. Murphy continues his transformation and now he is inhuman, killing a family of survivors. Surprisingly he decides to help his group but the last hope of mankind is changing very fast. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Zunami"
