Smith Review: 'Z Nation' Review: 'Z Nation'  No limit exists on
zombie shows (although perhaps one should be imposed), but since
"The Walking Dead" is out there -- with a companion spinoff in
the works -- a new entry really ought to unearth something new.
From that perspective, Syfy's "Z Nation" has more guts than

western, with a hardy band running a zombie gantlet trying to
reach California. Along the way, the show serves up one doozy of
a twist, and otherwise a lot of slavering, mindless flesh-eaters
chasing our intrepid heroes. Think of it as the fast-food
alternative to "Dead's" more-flavorful dish. Unwilling to waste
