Afterlife
En varning: nu gör jag reklam för Salon igen. Men vem skulle inte vilja se den här tv-serien?

"We're here, we're dead, get used to it." This series focuses on the aftermath of a worldwide zombie uprising of 2007, triggered by a sexually transmitted virus that renders its victim physically dead, but still conscious and fully capable of carrying on "living." The key difference: They have no pulse, they smell, and without formaldehyde, they decompose.
The characters include a staunch right-wing politician, Zachary Haims, who wants to corral the "zombie trash" into a separate state (a small one like Vermont). Little does he know that his son, Brendan, is dating a beautiful 18-year-old zombie named Tess.
Josh is a 24-year-old undead activist who tries to work within the system, while his undead stepbrother, Len, prefers to do things more radically. Rejecting the politically correct "post-life" description, he calls himself a zombie, and belongs to the radical organization ROMERO. It doesn't stand for anything -- it's simply named after their patron saint, George Romero. The director, meanwhile, finds himself a target of abuse from other undead organizations, and ends up moving to Grenada, where he lives in a constant state of fear.
One elderly zombie grandmother named Rosie possesses the fire and spunk that gets her into regular trouble, including the time she refuses to give up her seat on the bus to a fat, living businessman. She spends her time educating children on the stereotypes attached to the post-livers: that they are cannibalistic, that they are lazy, or worse, that they are really alive but simply "acting dead to get free stuff like welfare."
