Other Options

- Z Nation (Syfy): Series Premiere. A group comes together through circumstance to get the only known survivor of the zombie virus that has wiped out much of the population to a lab in California that hopes to use his blood to create cure for the virus. Plays again later. This show is not well acted and seems on the low budget end of things. But, if you’re a fan of The Walking Dead, yet enjoy the action episodes more than the character stuff and wish the group had a purpose more than just trying to survive, then this could be the show for you. Are you looking forward to tonight’s premiere?
