Spinning-off Z Nation (2014-2018), The Asylum’s copycat of The Walking Dead, Black Summer feels grounded, dare I say it, serious. The Asylum are “notorious for producing titles that capitalise on productions by major studios” but this feels like something out on it’s own, rather than piggybacking on a bigger title. They’re not playing for laughs, the way Z Nation does, but digging into the urgency, the fear, the drama, in the early days of the zombie apocalypse.
