Day 17 - Favourite mini series

Ignoring the fact that most US fans probably think all UK shows are mini series, given our predilection for 6 episodes rather than 22, I'm going to go with a show that has (so far) only aired 3 episodes but was fortunately so well received it's been commissioned for a second series...

The show in question is called In the Flesh and first aired in March this year - essentially, it's about what happens after the zombies start appearing, looking specifically at how individuals who have now been treated for PDS (Partially Deceased Syndrome) are rehabilitated back to their communities. These zombies just 'happened', with a mass rising from the dead at a specific time, rather than as a result of being bitten.

For Ren, one of those returning home, there are all sorts of additional issues, with both flashbacks to the things he did while he was afflicted and also that he had committed suicide before unexpectedly returning to life. The village to which he returns had taken a very militant stance and his younger sister had been among those hunting and killing zombies, which understandably causes additional tension.

There's a fairly substantial wikipedia entry on the show, with substantial spoilers for season 1 and also an official website (though I'm not sure how much of that is accessible to anyone outside the UK). You can probably pick the series itself up from your usual internet sources for those kind of things... ;)
