Dead Set – First Impressions

I’ll write a full review after the whole series has been shown, for now I just want to say: brilliant. The concept is genius, the execution superb and the action appropriately frenetic. Even “Queen D” gets the thumbs up, a first for me.

The frequent ad breaks do rather ruin the atmosphere, so it’s a programme best recorded and watched later. That’s likely to be even more true of the rest of the episodes that are only half an hour long.

Well done Charlie Brooker!
