IN THE FLESH
BBC America, 10:00 p.m. ET
MINISERIES PREMIERE: Give credit to this three-part British miniseries, for finding a new way into the zombie craze. Its angle is to focus on a young man named Kieren (Luke Newberry), a zombie who, like many others in this fantasy drama, has benefited from medical research that provides an apparent cure, and return to living, breathing normalcy. The former zombies are given a medical syndrome term – Partially Deceased Syndrome Sufferer, or PDSS – and returned to society to be assimilated. But is society ready? There’s a lot of zombie prejudice out there, allowing this drama to revel in all sorts of intriguing allegories and story lines. Runs nightly through Saturday.
