Black Summer TV-Show Review 2019 Cast Crew
Creators: John Hyams, Karl Schaefer
Stars:Jaime King, Justin Chu Cary, Christine Lee
What you get is the most original and discouraging plot. Maybe the zombie narrative is running out compared to the benchmark set by the great The Walking Dead, but aside from the well-played scenarios you would expect, Black Summer Season 1 is more boring than the prospect of this kind of apocalypse.
It's helpful to understand that you do not need to see the Syfy show to see Black Summer. The creators have made it clear that there are no crosses with the characters, and Season 1 is established near the beginning of the apocalypse, since the human race has begun to fail. In addition, it has eliminated all the comic value, in which I believe the original universe is based.
Black Summer Season 1 opens with Rose (Jaime King) who tries to take his family to a checkpoint to travel to the stadium with the military. The stadium is promoted to be a place of absolute security, the answer to all your problems. Like all zombie stories, it is suspected that one member of the family is infected, and his daughter is taken with the soldiers, separating a child and a mother.
If you look at Wikipedia, the poster and other sources, the premise is sold as Rose being the main character of Black Summer, but that is far from the truth. Rose is one among many, since the Netflix series presents several others who are in a similar scenario and, of course, are grouped with the sole objective of reaching the stadium.
Maybe this is a product of Z Nation (unfortunately I have not seen it), but Black Summer is obsessed with title screens to highlight the next chapter of the episode. I have no qualms about this editing technique, but it made the series look smarter than it is.
The main theme is at its core; It is an original Every scene we experience has been seen before. Each character dilemma has been used before. And although I do not particularly bother remanufactured stories, Black Summer does not infuse a natural narrative progression until the end of season 1. The Netflix series encourages public concern and offers two-dimensional characters.
Black Summer tries to implement the themes of refugee camps, and the growing danger of racism and hate crimes, but tentatively deals with these issues, rather than making a genuine effort to encourage thought.
At the same time, it's great to have a new series of zombies on Netflix, and maybe once they commit to a possible season 2, Black Summer will grow and become something of their own. The aspiration is clear, try to successfully lead Black Summer to Z Nation, where Fear The Walking Dead failed, but writers must improve their game to expand the universe to that level.
