Zomvivor Review: If you’ve been starving for a proper zombie series since All of Us Are Dead, here’s the thing: Zomvivor just dropped, and yes, I binge-watched the entire thing, so you don’t have to wonder if it’s worth your time.
Let’s break it down.

What It’s About
The show opens with a familiar setup: a mysterious outbreak turns people into zombies, chaos spreads, and a group of students gets trapped in the middle of it all.
If that sounds a bit too familiar, you’re not wrong. The story moves between two timelines: the past, where we slowly learn how the virus began, and the present, where a handful of survivors are just trying to make it through the day without getting bitten.
Government secrets, failed experiments, and moral panic, it’s all in there. The scale feels big, the city setting works, and the zombies themselves look terrifying enough to keep you glued for a while.
My Honest Take
Alright, cards on the table, I’ve seen a lot of zombie shows. The Walking Dead, Kingdom, All of Us Are Dead, and even World War Z, more times than I can count. So yeah, when I started Zomvivor, my bar was already pretty high.
Here’s what I felt after finishing all seven episodes: it’s decent, but not groundbreaking.
The show borrows a lot from All of Us Are Dead. The tone, the pacing, even the “student group trapped in chaos” vibe, it all feels inspired by the Korean hit.
The biggest issue? It doesn’t hit emotionally.
You never really connect with the characters. They scream, they run, they die… but you don’t feel anything. That emotional punch that All of Us Are Dead delivered just isn’t there.
Still, there’s one thing Zomvivor absolutely nails: the brutality.
This series does not hold back on gore. The zombies are vicious, the fights are raw, and some of the makeup effects are honestly top-tier. If you’re into that dark, gritty, blood-soaked kind of zombie chaos, you’ll love it.
And to be fair, the second half picks up speed. Once the political subplot starts kicking in and a few mysteries unfold, the show finds its rhythm. It’s not perfect, but it does enough to make me curious for Season 2.
Good & Bad Breakdown
| What Works | What Doesn’t |
|---|---|
| Brutal, realistic zombie visuals | Story feels recycled from All of Us Are Dead |
| Solid pacing in the second half | Weak emotional connection with characters |
| Strong makeup and practical effects | Character development feels flat |
| Mystery element around virus origin | Predictable plot and familiar tropes |
| Easy to watch, bingeable runtime | No English dubbing yet — only subtitles |
Should You Watch It?
If All of Us Are Dead was your first (and maybe only) zombie series, you’ll probably have a good time. It’s fun, bloody, and fast-paced enough to keep you entertained.
But if you’ve seen Kingdom, The Walking Dead, or Train to Busan, you’ll see through it instantly. The story feels like déjà vu. It’s not bad — just too safe and too familiar.

Final Verdict
Zomvivor is a one-time watch. It’s the kind of show you throw on when you’re craving some brain-eating chaos on a weekend night. It’s not deep, it’s not emotional, but it’s bloody entertaining in parts.
I’d give it a 3.0/5.
Watch it for the gore and atmosphere, not the story.
My Final Thoughts
I honestly hope Season 2 gets a better writer’s room. The world they’ve built has potential; it just needs more heart and originality. Because right now, it’s sitting somewhere between good time pass and missed opportunity.
If you’re into zombie survival shows and don’t mind reading subtitles, give it a shot. Just don’t go in expecting another All of Us Are Dead.
