Fast, frenetic and a breath of fresh air from the drawn out soul searching in other zombie apocalyptic shows, Black Summer (Netflix, 2019) is a stripped bare, full throttle zombie series that sprints through eight action packed episodes. Created by Karl Schaefer and John Hyams, Black Summer comes from The Asylum, the same studio which made Z Nation (SyFy, 2014 – 2018) but the connection between the two shows is minor.
