In the flesh again

/!\ This article contains spoilers if you haven't seen In the flesh S01E02 & previous.

Second (and probably last) article about In the flesh, the last overrated show of british TV.
I saw its second episode, and this show is still as disappointing. I still think that the main problem of this show is the lack of coherency: it's hard to believe people's reactions.

I read some reviews online. There were basically two kinds: the dithyrambic ones (OMG it's so amazing), often written by people lacking discernment, and the zombies experts ones. I had fun reading the second category. Those "experts" about zombies discussed whether or not the plot of the show was realistic, how zombies couldn't be healed, how the medication wouldn't work, how it was so unrealistic to heal zombies, as if zombies were a real thing that you can't mess with.

I personally have a problem with the humans reactions in this show, and I'll tell you why.

Just another oversold zombie show ?

/!\ The first part of this article is spoiler-free, and explains the plot if you don't know the show; the second part contains spoilers if you haven't seen In the flesh's first episode. There will be a spoiler alert to warn you.

I've heard a lot of good things about In the flesh since the airing of its pilot last Sunday. It was supposed to be a brand new approach of the zombie serie, a smart - yet british - reflection about how society would react to the rehabilitation of zombies who tried to eat them a few month ago. Well, I didn't see any of that in this pilot.

Why Glee should choose between Lima and New-York

/!\ This article contains spoilers if you haven't seen Glee's S04E04 & previous.

Glee reached a big turning point this summer with the graduation of most of the main cast characters. That's the problem with aging students: they can't stay in school forever, unless they're yellow and live in Springfield. Ryan Murphy was at first very clear: graduating students would have to leave McKinley (which they did). Then, the hypothesis of a spin-off relating New-York's journey of these students grew, then collapsed.


In the facts, there are now two distinct story-lines in Glee: one in New-York, with Rachel and Kurt experiencing the Big Apple, and one still in Ohio, at McKinley, with the underdogs from the previous seasons and some uninteresting "new" heads.
