Zombie Invasion: Generation Z Takes a Cheeky Bite Out of Brexit!

Ever thought zombies could be funny? Check out Generation Z, the hilarious Channel 4 satire that mixes undead chaos with Brexit!

When you think of zombies, the mind often drifts to flesh-eating ghouls and apocalyptic chaos. Enter 'Generation Z', a fresh twist on the undead genre from renowned director Ben Wheatley. This Channel 4 comedy-horror series, featuring an impressive cast including Anita Dobson, Robert Lindsay, and Johnny Vegas, dives headfirst into a world where an aged undead army is not only possible but downright entertaining. With its cheeky satire on Brexit, this show rips through the political landscape with zombies in tow, serving as a reminder that laughter can be found amidst the horror.

Wheatley's project has drawn comparisons to classics of the genre, leaving one to wonder if this is the ultimate antidote to the often morose narratives surrounding Brexit.

As it strikes the chord with sixth-form teens, it illustrates how the current generation is not just surviving but thriving in a chaotic world.

A resounding question on everyone’s lips is whether ‘Generation Z’ will see a second season. The speculation continues to swirl around whether this undead romp through British politics will return to our screens. For those gripped by the clever writing and laughter-inducing moments, a season two would mean more brain-fueled antics, which is sure to keep fans hooked. Until then, viewers are left chomping at the bit, craving what else Wheatley has to offer.

However, the reception hasn't been universally praised; reports of viewers switching off mere minutes into the series suggest that while some find the show invigorating, others might prefer their horror without a side of satire. With a mixed bag of reactions, it's clear that 'Generation Z' proves to be as divisive as today's political scene, meaning that it might just be the right mix of ingredients to keep audiences discussing long into the evening.
