Z Nation keeps finding ways to distinguish itself from the pack.

Here’s our review…

In the words of any kid who thought they were cool circa 1997: Dag, son.

Remember all that meticulous set up in episode one?

Where we thought we were seeing the arc of the season laid out for us?

You know, bounty hunters chasing the gang along with zombies?

Mack and Addy reconnecting?

Murphy creating his own zombie army?

can dedicate an episode to the fragility of human life with such success.

There werent any super-hilarious and gory zombie deaths this week.

What a cool unit, I would have written.

I would have been right.

The stage for a massive loss was set: I just wasnt ready for it.

WAY TO MIMIC REAL LIFE, SCIENCE FICTION TELEVISION SHOW.

So here is where I talk about losing Mack.

Whats that, you say?

A dynamic female journey portrayed on television?!

Will I pine for Michael Welchs layered, kind, and earnest portrayal of Mack from week to week?

But thankfully, the series continued success hinges upon the rest of the cast feeling his absence bitterly.

Welchs stellar work on the show guarantees that.
