Partially Deceased, A Show You Must See

My second favourite live-action TV series as of now is In The Flesh. The plot of the story itself is already so unique. It is in a world where zombies exist and are given medication to have their conscious back so they can join back society, being told they are Partially Deceased Syndrome (PDS) suffers and to pretend like they never died or killed anyone when they were rapid before treatment.

The zombies are all required to wear makeup and pretend to be normal while live humans treat them terribly for being different. It relates to real-life issues between people with different races or beliefs and shows us how unfair the world can be some times. The characters are all forced by the rules of society to believe they are lower and less important then living humans because they are different. It also tells us that we have to accept ourselves for who we are.

The show breaks the rules in a zombie film. Usually, it is about zombies running around and people trying to survive but instead, the show suggest a universe where the zombies are allowed to return to their life before dying. The PDS is even treated by the people in their universe as mental health, in a way where people talk about it like it is not a real illness and ignoring it.

It also isn't afraid to talk about how nobody is perfect and can be exactly as the world expects them to be. They have characters that are gay, prostitutes or hire prostitutes, take drugs and a zombie dating a human. Nonetheless, the character all still struggle trying to fit in even when they accept who they truly are.

I love this show with a passion.
