Black Summer, Netflix Series, 2 Seasons

 This Series is one of many, like Nation Z and Walking Dead, it's about the Apocalypse Zombie that took place in many cities in the USA. Of course they deny until now. 

Jaime King is one of the most famous actress in this movie. She is alive, seems good and surrounded with her friends and family. In the beginning she was scaping with her family, and her daughter went in a military truck and they got separated. She lost also her husband, he became undead. 

The unknow faces there, all by their own and with hope in their hearts that they will survive. The movie is all about surviving the apocalypse, people killing and people dying. It's the same situation, but with different people and different reactions, situations, but all talk about the same matter. People becoming UNDEAD. The scenarios, cameras, audios, all relate a same time. That's what we must to analyse. 

She said when her daughter got inside the truck: - Wait for the Froes, Wait for the Froes. 

The only saviour is God, your Faith, the Repentance, the new way of life, put your trust on him. Without God i see a life with no good ending, because He is our Saviour. Without God your life has 100% chance in ending bad, with a Apocalypse at minimum. 

Black Summer trailer,  Season 1

Black Summer trailer,  Season 2

The other side of the story is, there are many foreigners inside USA, many of them living there illegally. The one was the Korean called Kyungsun, she said, you can call me Sun. In the end she survived and got an airplane, with some Korean or Japanese driving. She was very happy, i saw, she had so many strength in her heart, she was always motivated and never gave up. Hope she is safe at home now. 

Rating: 10 stars.
