In the Flesh	comment	In the Flesh is a 2013-14 BBC series consisting of three episodes (Season 1) and six episodes (Season 2); set after a Zombie Apocalypse, zombies have changed attempting to integrate into a society ravaged by their initial slaughter.Series 1 is set three years after the dead rose from the grave. It follows Kieren, a Partially Deceased Syndrome (PDS) sufferer, who is ready to return home. However his unlife is far from easy; suffering from flashbacks before his treatment and hounded by the Human Volunteer Force (HVF) he's stuck at home wallowing in the past. His parents are in denial while his sister, a member of the HVF, is more than slightly hostile towards him.Series 2 sees Kieren's unlife improved for the better; family and friends accepting, local community less hostile, part-time job and an extended stay in mainland Europe on the horizon. However battle lines have been drawn between two extremist parties; the terrorist/cult Undead Liberation Army (ULA) and far right political party Victus, once again throwing the delicate balance of peace of Roarton into disarray.Now has a character page in desperate need of wiki love.

The version preached by Vicar Oddie advises that all PDS sufferers be put to death. The version preached by the Undead Prophet and his disciples advises that the First Risen be sacrificed in order to start a second rising.

In the Flesh / int_96fbeaf	comment	There Are No Therapists: Kieren's first death was a suicide after a depression, Jem has PTSD, Simon goes through a panic attack implied to be hours long after learning what the Undead Prophet needs him to do, and there are absolutely no professionals there to help them beyond giving them physical medications and suggesting affirmations. Possibly justified, considering there were more than a hundred thousand Risen who would've needed psychiatric care after the war and that's not even to mention the living. There simply could've been too many people for the British health care system to handle. The rehabilitation hospital Kieren was first in shows group therapy sessions, although it was focused mainly on dealing with their newly-recovered personhood rather than individual diagnoses. Season 2 takes a dark view of this, with any undead being too vocal about the unethical new laws being taken away for "rehabilitation". There's also a PDS caretaker support group (led by a well-meaning but ineffective community leader) and a telephone hotline (that immediately puts you on hold). It seems like everyone's aware that the zombies and their families need SOME kind of support, but no one knows how they're supposed to go about doing it. So everyone just tries to pretend that it's all normal...

In the Flesh / int_9b3c14cb	comment	Van Helsing Hate Crimes: Though the HVF was legitimately fighting off a potential apocalypse, by the time the series kicks off it's been so well contained that the government is actively paying for the non-lethal capture of PDS sufferers to rehabilitate them. However many in the HVF don't seem to want to believe that feral zombies can be helped nor that treated ones aren't dangerous. Due to the widespread erroneous belief that being bitten can cause someone to become a Zombie Infectee, the HVF detain Dean and keep him locked in a cage for over two days without food or water. After experiencing as much mistreatment from his former comrades and the other villagers as he had given to those with PDS, Dean comes to a Heel Realisation.

Rather obviously, there are indisputably zombies walking around and they maintain rationality through medication, but the series never actually answers what caused the First Rising with several character postulating a cause derived from Christian theology. This makes the second season finale interesting: did killing Amy fail to trigger a Second Rising because Maxine was wrong and Kieren was the First Risen or because Maxine and the Undead Prophet were both wrong and there is never going to be a Second Rising regardless of who died?
