It's more about the people and        DC> how they survive while also trying to sustain some semblance        DC> of law and order; the zombies are just what cause the        DC> situation and constant stress they live within. More of a        DC> back drop.              Ah.. A kind of psychological approach then. But then it depends on the pace       of the series. I don't like a series that drags out the mystery for too       long. For example, I could not get into LOST despite all the hype built up       around it. Later, I learned that the ending let the fans down anyway.                      DC> ... having the feeling of not being        DC> surrounded, without the expense of a lot of land, is what I        DC> like within a back yard. And, the trees help filter some of        DC> the road and siren noise that seems non-stop 2-3 blocks        DC> away.              No street noise around here. Just birds, crickets, frogs.              I can relate to the char in Ozark who lives in the basement at his house and       has the habit of going skinny dipping in the lake. It's at *his* property       after all.                      AA>> Back to films.. I would recommend the series: The        AA>> Americans. It's a spy thriller set in the Reagan era..               DC> I saw that show listed, haven't tried it yet. I'll have to        DC> do so.              It's a very smart/intellectual series. The poker-faces of the actors as they       deal with concealing their secrets are fun to watch. The scenes of unspoken       communications are well played as well.              I just recently reviewed a couple of episodes where I left off. It is near the       end of season 2 where they deal with the "secrets" of arpanet, stealth       technology for the SR-xx bomber, and ECHO.              The ECHO scenes reminded me of echomail. I'd like to create a little mashup       of those scenes and have a little spoof on how the "secret" of echomail was       revealed to the world. LOL                      DC> Have you seen Dexter? Thats another my wife and I        DC> really enjoyed.              I heard a lot about it when it first came out. The premise intrigued me. But I       did not have access to DSL/internet as I do now. My movie + tv series       backlist is getting longer than I have time to spare for!                      ..A                     --        Quoted with Reformator/Quoter.
