If you can’t get enough of the zombie K-Drama All of Us Are Dead, Zombieverse might be your new favorite reality series — or not.

On August 8, Netflix released a highly anticipated show with a promising premise. A colorful cast of actors, social media stars, TV personalities, and entertainers must complete challenges and “outwit the dead” during a zombie outbreak. The cast includes Sweet Home actress Lee Si Young, Single’s Inferno 2 star Kim Jin Young (also known as DEX), comedian Park Na Rae, and more.

Between the show’s cast and its concept, viewers were looking forward to a wild, unscripted ride full of hilarious twists and turns.

After watching eight episodes of humans versus zombies antics, however, some viewers are expressing their disappointment. Zombieverse currently has an audience rating of 50% on Rotten Tomatoes…

…and a rating of 4.2/10 on IMBD. The “unscripted” show has been criticized for being anything but, and some viewers found the cast members too noisy to endure.

Viewers who discussed Zombieverse on Reddit felt that the show’s execution fell short, and that Zombieverse was too “heavily scripted” to truly be reality TV.

Although most reality TV shows contain scripted moments, viewers say Zombieverse went beyond what is acceptable for the genre.

Zombieverse might not be everyone’s cup of blood-red tea, but it has received positive feedback from fans who enjoyed the cast’s humor…

…athleticism…

…and comradery.
