In stark contrast, Z Nation has only one really annoying character for audiences to contend with - Citizen Z.В It's not entirely his fault that the character comes off as annoying, but DJ Qualls (whose typecast acting is an acquired taste) does his best with the limited role he's been given. Lori, Bob, Andrea, Eugene, Father Gabriel, Milton, and Sam Anderson are just a few of the annoyingВ characters who dot the show's landscape - five of which became zombie food without any fans shedding a tear. During their journey, Citizen Z gives them guidance from a military outpost in Antarctica.ДЄlong the way, the group reacts to the world around them in ways that, while occasionally can be tongue-in-cheek, seems more plausible than anything in The Walking Dead: (i.e., not marching a thousand zombies down the street, baking acorn cookies, or dumping fuel into a water source then blowing it up with an RPG.)Д®ven the biggest fans of The Walking Dead will admit the show is filled with so many annoying characters that most actually cheer when those people eventually meet their demise. She's leading them to California in order toВ deliver Murphy (a convict who may hold the key to finding a cure) to the U.S.

With the exception of Citizen Z, theВ group follows the leadership of Warren (a smart, tough and stable, yet emotionally vulnerable woman).

Granted, realism can take a backseat in a show involving zombified humans roaming the earth, but that doesn't mean characters should be constantly brooding or acting like imbeciles - something The Walking Dead does on a fairly consistent basis.Д¬reated by Craig Engler and Karl Schaefer ( Eerie, Indiana, Strange Luck), Z Nation is made up of a core group of individuals - Warren (Kellita Smith), Doc (Russell Hodgkinson), 10K (Nat Zang), Addy (Anastasia Baranova), Murphy (Keith Allan) and Citizen Z (DJ Qualls). Too often, stories set in an apocalyptic world refuse to allow their characters to act in a realistic way. With that said, here is Why You Should Be Watching Z Nation Instead of The Walking Dead.ДЎ1 Characters act like they're actually in an apocalypse Somewhere after the fifth episode of the series, the show took a big leap in terms of writing, acting, and production value - making it a show you SHOULD be watching. Yet, after a rocky start, the writers discovered they didn't need to be cheesy to be entertaining. After all, they are the same studio who gave the world Sharknado, Snakes on a Train and cheese-fest known as Mega Shark versus Giant Octopus. It would be easy to dismiss the Syfy original show because it's produced by The Asylum. However, one show has been quietly eating into the zombie television landscape and, in many ways, has grown to become a more well-rounded and enjoyable show - Z Nation. Killing off almost every minority character for no real reason, splitting the story arcs into multiple narratives, plodding storylines, a mind-numbing amount of exposition and other naggingВ issuesВ constantly plague the show. Since season 2, critics and fans alike have taken issue with many aspects of the show.

Over the course of six seasons, The Walking Dead has managed to raise a very large fan base and has situated itself nicely at the top of Zombie Mountain - but that doesn't mean TheВ Walking Dead hasn't been without its share of flaws. However, when it comes to character development, story arcs and an overall sense of entertainment, a high production budget doesn'tВ alwaysВ translate into a consistently high quality show. There's little doubt that when it comes to mainstream shows about the zombie apocalypse, The Walking Dead is the one most undead fans tune into each week.
