Critics' reviews

"It’s a blend of political satire and semi-campy horror--a darkly comic zombie yarn, a cheeky 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'. And if the whole season is like the pilot, it might actually be fun."

Jeff Jensen: Entertainment Weekly
"It’s an ambitious, almost indescribable series that has fun while feeding into American rage over our government’s partisan mania."

Matthew Gilbert: Boston Globe
"The subtlety that made ['The Good Wife'] work is not in evidence here. Nor does this hour demonstrate the sophisticated humor of 'Veep', a better parody that doesn’t need a zombie-like subplot."

Joanne Ostrow: Denver Post
"The cast’s good work is fatally underminded by the show’s fuzzy concept."

David Wiegand: SFGATE
"'BrainDead' is a fun summer experiment, with a loopy (...) charm. It’s sci-fi, it’s comedy, it’s political commentary. But it’s also about as nuanced as an ant colony lodged in your cranium."

James Poniewozik: The New York Times
"'BrainDead' is more sprightly and appealing than 'Zoo' and certainly easier to follow than whatever 'Under the Dome' ended up being. But 'BrainDead' is highly evasive and unsatisfying on the political front."

Maureen Ryan: Variety
