Default Dead Set

What do you think about Charlie Brooker's Dead Set?

I thought quite good. I was never scared!

I think Charlie Brooker is better at writing satire and TV skits than narrative scriptwriting. I really wanted to like Dead Set, but don't feel compelled to ever watch it again.

I think the Camera work is so **** because of how quick everything happens, I mean the scene in Episode 1 where Marky opens the door and the Zombie comes into the house, and Kelly starts smashing it.. I think that scene would of been far better if we could actually see what was going on.

No harm to the camera men, but it looks like it was filmed by a drunk using his mobile phone.

The camerawork was done like that for a reason, 1 for tension and 2 because I don't think they'd be allowed to show someone beating another person's head to pieces on TV so you only saw the end result.

I quite like the camerawork, it added to the claustrophobia of the house and hopelessness of the situation.
