Watch The "In The Flesh" Finale Tonight to Fill Your "Walking Dead" Fix

This time of year, the vamps and fairies in the Bayou of HBO's True Blood is on my mind more than the walkers of The Walking Dead in Georgia.

Don't get me wrong, I am a huge Walking Dead fan, but summer is for Sookie Stackhouse, while fall, winter and spring is for Rick Grimes.

Well, BBC America and show creator Dominic Mitchell  just blew by vamp-zombie logic out of the water!

The three night event, "In The Flesh" is one of the best takes on the zombie anthology,I have seen in awhile.

It basically takes the premise that  both Herschel and Milton had in "Walking Dead"  in finding a cure for the zombie virus, but failed (miserably).

However, In The Flesh actually finds a cure of sorts for those who have partially dead syndrome (PDS) and then are sent back home to live a "normal" life.

The  zombie in this case is Kieren Walker (played by the earnest Luke Newberry) who goes home to live with his family in a community truly hate zombies (or "rotters" as they call them), no matter if they are cured or not, including his own sister (Harriet Caines).

Much like how "True Blood" early on dealt how humans and vampires  to interact with each other, "In The Flesh" does the same with layered twisting storylines  that keeps you glued to your seat.

Now, If you like the Walking Dead episodes "The Killer Wihtin"  where there high body count, this is not your kind of zombie show.

But if you enjoyed dialogue driven Walking Dead episodes like "Clear" which  dealt with the humanity of man in a new world, then you will be thankful you turned in.

The only downsideof In The Flesh" is that its only on for three straight nights (The BBC in the UK greenlighted a season 2).

However I will take three episodes of this engaging BBC America show over a anything that has duck, swamp or redneck in its title.

In The Flesh comcludes tonight on BBC America 10 est.
