I finally finished my manuscript and so decided to take the weekend off to binge on movies and other mindless things. And so while perusing for things, amazon prime reccommended a show called the fades.
In it, a 17 year old boy has nightmares about the end of the world. In it ghosts who can’t move on have found away to become human again by eating the flesh of the living.
It’s like a zombie movie and a ghost story all in one.
There’s good versus evil and a semi-religious prophecy.
All over six episodes.
Uber cool.
Especially as you see the lines of distinction blur between the two sides. Great characterization all around, I just hope some American company doesn’t remake it and ruin it.
I read the reviews on Amazon and I’m definetly interested but afraid to watch a series that ended prematurely after 1 season. I loved the show “The Fringe” and it too ended prematurely which really upset me.
It’s like reading an author’s series of books but they quit writing them before the story is over.
It does end leaving story lines open but it wraps up the premise established, so in that respects it’s good. I have yet to see if it is based on a book so I might read the series. And I was surprised at the religious overtones given that it is BBC. But the whole thing was very, very well done.
