Last week’s zombie lynching? What zombie lynching?

The final shocking events of Episode 1 may still haunt many of you, but as we open on Episode 2 of Dominic Mitchell’s undead drama, the killing of Ken Burton’s rehabilitated wife is scrubbed clean; washed from the tarmac and covered over with idle chit-chat. An act of un-remembrance at a time when the those killed during the uprising are being honoured by the massed ranks of the Human Volunteer Force.

This is a zombie drama that feeds on brains for psychological purposes rather than shocks.
