Review of The Bite

The Bite (2021)
8/10
Very cheeky and clever on a low budget...
8 September 2021
A biting satire on current events, taking on the politics and the Pharmaceutical industry. All via an entertaining kind of slapstick within the confined spaces that we find ourselves in today. Apart from dealing with the COVID pandemic, it throws in a zombie virus, ensuring pandemonium of the stupidity kind.

In a delicious way it also takes a swipe at today's society by what has become the dreaded norms. Like forming opinions by researching the internet for fifteen minutes, believing the corrupted to suit your agenda, and the influences of today's stupid social media darlings.

Along the way it has fun with the "soapy drama" and schlock horror films. My best bits is the courier boy who manages to get his job done during the zombie holocaust. Season 2 should be from his point of view and how he carried out his job under zombie duress!

McDonald and Schilling play it to perfection, without going overboard, ensuring there is some silliness and laughter along the way. Maybe the writing needed a bit more development, but when you have the King's in charge (they also created. The Good Wife, The Good Fight, Evil) then I guess they can do whatever the hell they like. So enjoy...
