Black Summer (TV Series) Alone (2019) User Reviews

Stupidest man alive vs zombie

[sepit91 · 6/10 · 21 April 2019]

Don't know why producers wanted to make a episode of a very simple man, I would bet this kind of people would be eaten first.

Realistic, funny and irritating.

[Mikelikesnotlikes · 8/10 · 23 February 2020]

The whole series follows a theme of real people facing a devastating epidemic and NOT becoming shooting, martial arts, stunt driving experts out of pure desperation.

I like that the characters screw up often and make poor decisions. Sure, we all watch horror movies to see close shaves and ingenuity of the characters as they ninja their way to safety, punching through a thousand paper-maché zombie skulls.

I found BLACK SUMMER's interpretation spot on for me.

I love this episode with a bumbling guy somehow surviving despite his lack of planning, cowardice and blind fear sprinting with no parkour leaps of faith to help him along. Instead we got to see our worst nightmare: a single zombie fixated on hunting down and killing you. It's so unfair that he had the drop on the zombie several times and through simple environment based bad luck had the tables turned again and again.

I was equally laughing and groaning.

i thought this was the best episode

[davidm-14 · 8/10 · 13 April 2019]

Practically silent, except for the heavy breathing, i thought this was the most tense episode. Basically reduced to one guy running away from a zombie for the full episode, it held my interest completely. Lance was the best character on that show.

Is he wearing eyeliner?

[donttouchmeprimate · 7/10 · 25 July 2019]

That's all I could think about every time we get a close - up of curly haired, bearded man's face.

It was too distracting. Couldn't even pay attention to the idiotic things he did in this episode, and OH BOY is this guy an idiot. How has he survived 6 weeks deep into a zombie apocalypse without considering cation of any kind?

Can anybody tell me if it was eyeliner or not?

Frustrating suspense

[ammodias · 6/10 · 9 June 2019]

This was an odd one, full of suspense and one hell of a stupid character, you will get very frustrated by his actions and stressed by the suspense!

I love this episode!

[soelir · 10/10 · 5 July 2021]

Yes, the guy is dumb and clumsy but that's what a regular person would be like.

The fact he managed to survive to the end of the episode is down to sheer luck. He got brave at the end when it was needed.

I'm rewatching the first season before I start the second. My memory of it is that it's bonkers, and now I've read that it's a prequel to Z Nation, I know why!

That episode was brilliant though.

My heart was in my mouth and I was trying not to look in places because I'm lame. I loved it!

Boring and Stupid

[eberkerbatur · 6/10 · 9 May 2019]

The most bored part was this was the ridiculous scenes I've ever been in

For me better than twd and ftwd

[booboodumdum · 10/10 · 14 January 2021]

I foumd this more intense than most slow moving zombie shows.these zombies are fast and ravenous.I like how its played out on normal neighborhood streets etc,more realistic fear. Lance is unbelievably stupid and difficult to watch,but you will be screaming at your tv. Also, the kids in the school are unrealistic, that immediately after the start of a world wide zombie outbreak that a bunch of kids would already be twisted psychos.I hope season 2 the writing is better,and the characters are smarted.Also, its weird that theres very few zombies or people running around,yes the town was kinda evacuated,but still lance is running around streets and yelling for help and no zombies. Hey hollywood please make more apocalyptic zombie and virus shows and make them better than most of the crap out there.

Best episode so far

[paulyjp · 6/10 · 14 April 2019]

This seems an actual nod to Z-Nation with the main character being outsmarted by a zombie throughout.

At least this episode had some direction and tense moments.

One thing tho, the continuity is pretty terrible with the main character unable to use his right hand at all, to five minutes later the blood is all gone and he is using both hands to load a trolley and tapping his fingers!!!

But I did enjoy this compared to the previous episodes!

It could have been a good episode...

[gemsstock · 3/10 · 14 April 2019]

...if it were not for the stupidity of Lance, leaving all doors open behind him, having absolutely no plan how to survive this apocalypse. Well maybe there is some magic involved because his badly injured hand is miraculously healed within minutes.

Good show

[greenjackle · 8/10 · 8 July 2022]

The episode Alone. That Lance guy has to be the biggest idiot in the world. First he finds a double door with lots of carts to a lit grocery store. First open the first door. Then turn it off in the door their is a button. Then stack the carts so they are tall and wide between the doors. Then that is protected. Then check the back and make sure that was bolted up. Then the gate were the trucks back up to. He had an entire store to himself with water galore and food for a year or longer. Then when he gets the axe he loses it within seconds. His is the dumbest character ever and you hope he dies because we all know he is a hipster in real life that orders half foam grass fed milk coffees with home grown nutmeg.

Lance on his Own

[ZegMaarJus · 7/10 · 28 December 2023]

This Episode begins with Sun, she ended up in the middle of nowhere together with William. Lance wakes up, he is still at the school. Lance is alone at school, Rose and Spears already left the building. Lance escaped from the school. Lance is shopping at the grocery store, he is still alone. Lance got chased by a zombie at the grocery store. Lance sees that someone kills the zombie. Lance seems to be really scared. Lance wants to hit the unknown survivor with a stone. Solid Episode of Black Summer Season 1, this was just okay. Lance was on his own this Episode, i hope he can regroup with Rose and Spears soon!

Very tense episode ruined by character stupidity

[CrowsEye00 · 4/10 · 14 April 2019]

After about the 4th time that this guy went through a door and didn't simply close it behind him to escape the zombie, I'd had enough. The tension was all forced and it became cartoonishly bad.

Extremely Tense !!!

[mpboylanjr-54038 · 9/10 · 12 April 2019]

I started watching Black Summer because most. I'm intrigued when there are Zombie shows on. I'm not a huge fan of TWD after the first 2 seasons , and this show is much like the early TWD series. Now let me get to this episode because it's one of the most intense 40 minutes I've ever watched, and that's saying a lot. Just when you think the guy is safe he's running for his life. I was glued to the Television just waiting to see how he was going to hudini himself out of a bad situation. This show started a bit slow for me, but once this episode got going I was hooked. I think most will find this particular zombie thriller a notch above most others. Enjoy !!

Love it

[neji-san · 8/10 · 26 May 2019]

I loved it one guy alone in a Ghostown, chased by a single Zombie and the whole Episode this faint heartbeat Sound. Watched it over my soundbar and i Think that made a great difference. What Made it so intense for me was the Actor, he was frightened to death and every single scene i believed that he is just in panic and After all his stupid decisions, i was so curious how he will find his End. What almost ruined the Episode for me was his miracle Hand healing.

It just keeps getting worse

[draftdubya · 1/10 · 11 April 2019]

This moron had a entire grocery store to himself and didn't even try to lock or block the doors. I wish the zombies hurry up and kill these clowns

Very good!

[hollebrand · 9/10 · 1 May 2019]

Excellent episode. Fear and loneliness. I thought this was much more interesting than the episodes with (small) groups of people.

How did his hand heal????

[Hogkilla · 3/10 · 16 April 2019]

Cmon editing department how do you have this guy slice his hand and then two seconds later it is totally healed. And where are all of the zombies? There should be a ton of these things running around. This show could be so much better.

Only zombie show where they are smarter than the people

[Internet-Police · 4/10 · 14 April 2019]

Only crap, is this for real? This guy should be zombie food. The zombie outsmarted him the entire episode

Someone kill this guy already

[nunocharles75 · 4/10 · 19 April 2019]

Many of us live in the real world. We encounter stupid people in real life all the time and think to ourselves, "How in the hell are you still alive?" We watch movies in hopes of escaping that reality, only to be forced to watch an episode where writers/directors collaborate to keep the stupidest guy on the planet alive. This mildly obese, beta male somehow makes every wrong decision, and yet he's still alive. I'm seriously rooting for the zombie at this point to catch him. It's like watching a Floyd Mayweather fight not because you like Floyd Mayweather, but because you can't stand Floyd Mayweather and you're hoping he finally gets knocked out. That's the feeling I have right now.

Dumbest character ever.

[danjmarsden-1 · 1/10 · 19 April 2019]

Never have I seen so many stupid decisions of one character if this show doesn't improve I'll be kicking it into touch.

Idiot Alone

[rjgrund-123-603438 · 3/10 · 7 June 2019]

If this was meant to be an episode of the biggest idiot in the Apocalypse it succeeded. By the end I was actually rooting for the zombie.

Bad to Worse

[brownblackz · 1/10 · 13 April 2019]

Smart Fast Zombies nobody wants to see that unless the survivors are smarter than the Zombies which it seems none of them are!!!!!

Bedtime story for adults?

[maximovlE · 1/10 · 17 April 2019]

Tense? Really? If I met this idiot during an apocalypse I'd kill him myself.

Not seen this episode yet? Move along and find something better. Like watching paint dry.

A whole episode of some fool going shopping during an apocalypse, while doing nothing to take caution, and surviving. Total trash and an insult to viewers.

Makes TWD look like Citizen Kane

[poorly_boy · 1/10 · 15 April 2019]

Like the episode, I was lost for words.

After every decision he made all I could say is WHY?!?
