About Dead Set I have here I've blogged a little disinterestedly, now I've finally gotten to watch the series and have to say: Wow! Hammer! But first things first:
At Dead Set we find ourselves in the current season of Big Brother in England. Pippa has just left the container and is being cheered on by the crowd, sitting in the studio for the first interview when zombies overrun the scene. While the remaining candidates bleed Nuttendiesel to Mika's feel-good hit "Grace Kelly", producer Patrick and Pippa can save themselves in a lounge, Kelly, the assistant, fights through the undead, everyone else is nibbled on or eaten up completely and the candidates have it of course no idea about the mess out there - until Kelly can save herself in her container. But that is only the beginning…
The zombie attack is not trashy, the characters are not puppets, but rather behave realistically. The media-hungry container inmates, the vain presenter, the cynical editors and producers who despise both their audience and the participants. The humor is rather absurd, surreal and very subtle. Stupid police officers who have to pretend to be Clint Eastwoord in the middle of the disaster, shop doorbells that irritate zombies and real Big Brother participants who can be seen in guest appearances. This series is by far the best I've come across this year. And that despite the chic zombie stripper and the - slightly unsuccessful - Diary of the Dead. I would even like to say: the best zombie film since Shaun of the Dead. An atmospheric horror film and the toughest piece of splatter I've ever done in one Television-Series. Convincing characters, good actors, an enormous number of WTF and funny moments and, above all, nerve-racking tension from beginning to end without the slightest bit of length.
The only thing that could be criticized would be the wobbling cam that wobbled badly during the zombie attacks ... and that the zombies were running. But that seems to be part of the standard repertoire today. Dead Set is radical, evil, original and actually manages to be better than most of the serious zombie films in recent years. The whole show is in this one Youtube playlist...
Thank you Doc savage, you were right 
The Youtube clip for the start of the season is available after the jump!

More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
