Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting 07/02/2020
2.5/5
It's a well-executed show, and it's easy to see why it's become popular in Brazil. Just one that's best suited for those who haven't grown tired of zombie stories yet, because this doesn't offer anything we haven't seen before. Go to Full Review
Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) 06/11/2020
1/5
The amateurish writing could be partially forgiven if there was viscerally thrilling, creatively choreographed carnage to compensate. There isn't. Go to Full Review

3/5
For zombie fans, Reality Z season 1 will be appreciated, but like Black Summer it feels like a cheap throwaway. Go to Full Review

Reality Z fails to justify its existence. Go to Full Review
Raphael Tsavkko Garcia Remezcla 07/02/2020
Despite a seemingly high budget for special effects and a lot of blood and guts, the series does not deliver what it promises - a pointed critique of the state of Brazil's media and entertainment industry and of the country's own reality. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 06/11/2020
Reality Z is too chaotic and has to service too many characters for us to care about following the survivors. Go to Full Review

Clinton E 05/26/2023 Something fresher than the usual plots from Hollywood See more Andrew A 02/15/2023 I'm very surprised by the hate. This was a fun show, surprising because it drifted away from so many Americanized zombie content because no one is safe. Literally no one is guaranteed survival. That doesn't mean they all die, but if you watch it you know what I mean. Yeah, the writing isn't top tier and some of the decisions are cookie cutter, but even the "villains" have good points, you end up rooting for people who are set up to be filler and turn out being actually helpful towards the team and it's ultimately a fun show that I do hope gets at least one more season. I'm curious to see where the remaining survivors go. (This is a no spoiler review by the way). Give it a shot. The zombies are actually well designed and overall it's a cool premise despite some interesting acting and dialogue choices. See more 07/29/2022 I feel like my hopes to humanity are crushed after watching this. The gods and goddesses I hoped to survive turned out dead. Then this movie just keeps breaking my hopes, this time a new set of people with a future of colonizing also a big failure. They were all eaten by zombies in the end. I'm getting more and more depressed because the supposedly dominant protagonist is helpless. While it was hard to sympathize with the addict and asshole Robson. Carla ribaz who I thought had the potential to be a leader who directed the masses and would balance out the dominant character was killed quickly. This film is high budget and well executed in cinematography, unfortunately it is not mature in terms of plot and characters. Has potential, but unfortunately failed to raise hopes and none of them can really be relied on. An important and powerful character like TK and Nina just kept getting killed. See more harry t @HarryT308 03/21/2022 A poor rip off of Dead Set. See more 02/12/2022 It's by no means great, it would have been much better if they scrapped their remake of Dead Set for the first half of the series, the point where Dead Set drops of and Reality Z comes into its own isn't that bad and could have worked on its own, but it felt like a fight to get through the show to get to that point, at which point I didn't care for the characters as much. The acting by the cast is hit and miss, the choppy slow motion to licensed songs gets boring real quick and using the same song twice in a show feels like they really squeezed it for what it's worth. There was a lot of potential but it just ended up missing the mark with predictable and formulaic writing. That being said if the show got a second season I wouldn't avoid it in hopes that the creative crew behind it learned from their mistakes. See more 10/17/2021 It is nice and it is new version of classic "Dead Set". All the series of Walking Dead are much better, but if you watched them...then this is not really bad option.
