In the advent of a peculiar zombie apocalypse, two orphans grappling with starvation and abandonment seek refuge in a once-illustrious New Orleans brothel. Unbeknownst to them, the eccentric burn victim lurking inside welcomes their company for one very unfortunate reason.

Such a talented group of actors retelling the story of Hansel and Gretel, but much darker. If you like zombies, found family, and a touch of Greek mythology, you’ll like this show.
Heartwarming, intense, and such an interesting take on y2k and zombies (what!!!) Every actor gives themselves entirely to the production and it shows, definitely worth a watch
I was nervous going into this at first because zombie apocalypse stuff just isn’t my thing, but I really enjoyed this! It was heartwarming and intense. I love the found family aspect as well. It was a really great show!
I’d say, it felt quite relaxed until the wardrobe opened. Then…, let me put it this way: it became way more captivating and tense!
I also liked how well it was balancing on the verge of becoming too gross!
