The Mexican military setting provides a fresh perspective on the zombie genre, injecting cultural elements and a different approach to the outbreak. The premise of super-soldier zombies adds a twist on the typical undead threat, keeping things interesting.
If you’re looking for a non-stop thrill ride with plenty of zombie-slaying action, S.O.Z. delivers! The special effects, while not Hollywood-level, are effective and gory, adding to the show’s visceral fun.
Despite the dark subject matter, S.O.Z. manages to inject humor throughout, balancing the action with moments of camaraderie and character development. This helps build connections with the characters and adds levity to the intense situations.
Perfect for binge-watching, the episode format allows for quick bursts of entertainment without overstaying its welcome. This makes it easy to jump in and enjoy the ride.
While not perfect, S.O.Z. Soldados o Zombies is a fun and entertaining zombie series with its own unique flavor. If you’re looking for action, laughs, and a different take on the undead, it’s definitely worth checking out! Personaly I really hope for a second season !
Additional points to consider:
- If you’re a fan of classic B-movies or enjoy over-the-top action, you’ll likely appreciate S.O.Z.’s style.
- The character development might be light, but the core cast is compelling and adds to the show’s charm.
- Be aware that the show does contain graphic violence and gore, so it’s not suitable for all audiences.
