Suspenseful, tragic yet also uplifting in its audacious collision of fantasy and emotional realism, this haunting gem reminds us that we shouldn't speak ill of the dead.

Decriminalizing a sickness is a first for Western Civilization if Britain can still be considered as such. This is a delightful take on traditional zombification. Unlike Walking Dead one is not left wanting a newly major character be killed off: #KillKarl Unfortunately this series as with most in the BBC is afflicted with the Social Cancer (tm) of socialism producing an unpalatable THREE WHOLE EPISODES per season :(

On of the best new shows out now. Since Breaking Bad ended, we are left with Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. Now, thanks to the BBC, we also have Orphan Black and In the Flesh. One of the very few must watch series for me right now.

Like its much-watched counterpart on AMC, In the Flesh isn't always easy to watch. But I didn't want to miss a minute. Zombies and all.

In the Flesh skillfully navigates several genres at once, all of them heavy, none of them comic.

Overall, the emotional honesty of Kieran's character and his all too human craving for acceptance and happiness make In the Flesh oddly moving.

Unfortunately, the potentially intriguing premise of this new three-part BBC America series, In the Flesh, soon turns into a heavy-handed allegory for how we treat anyone who is different and perceived as threatening.

A very strong drama that is layered with meaning. Doesn't deal with typical "zombie" show/film tropes. Enjoyable and easy to care for and most times connect to the characters in one way or another, even if they're not the person you find yourself liking. Highly recommend.

Never a fan of zombie anything but, thought this was so well done. So much symbolism, and great characters. I feel let down that it ended after 3 episodes. One part of me feels that it was the perfect time to end but, I would love to know more about these amazingly interesting characters.

At first, I wasn't sure about the premise. But the show surprised me. It takes a different look at zombies than any I had seen before. Done wrong, it could have been a disaster. But with solid writing and strong acting, I started to care for the characters and what they were going through. It's a solid show and I'm curious to see where they go from here.

A bit sentimental, A bit obvious, but the potential is overwhelming. Emily Bevan was absolutely fun to watch. The acting is mostly great. The direction is mostly passive/sneaky.
