So i think from the moment they started out the writers for Z nation knew they weren't going to compete with the walking dead. They were the new kid on the block and to make another gritty apocalypse show, well they just weren't going to win in terms of plot or character development. So they focused on adding just the most awesome ridiculous sh*t you could ever expect to hope from a zombie show, and they won their niche that way. Overall this is a B show that knows its a B show and embraces it wholly. And it does pretty well for that. In fact, this show has done so many firsts for zombie film while still in its first season that it actually redeems itself in that aspect. They were the first to do baby zombies, bear zombies, zombie tornados, zombie groundhog day, crack zombies, zombies with boners, getting stoned with zombies, radioactive glowing zombies, zombie mind control, and i'm sure i'm missing some other ones but the endless source of outrageous zombie situations is definitely a bit more entertaining then constantly killing generic stock zombies episode after episode. I wasn't hooked after the first few episodes, but it grows on you. Just as long as you don't expect it to be all serious and realistic.
