I read the book by the same name and thoroughly enjoyed it. From the very first page it had me hooked. The plot was at least plausible so when I heard there was going to be a TV series based on the book I was pleased to have something to watch over the summer that wasn't a reality show.
While this show has the title "Zoo" and two of the characters were in the book that is where the similarity ends. In the book the animals (only mammals if I remember correctly) start attacking people and Jackson Oz finally figures out it is because of plastics and cell phones messing with the animals' pheromones. Plausible to a certain extent because mankind is destroying the earth and who knows what will happen 1000 years from now. However this show is blaming the strange attacks on something called "The Mother Cell" which apparently is in all of Reiden Global products that they produced. I'm still not sure what this Mother Cell is, why it is in their products or what Reiden was trying to accomplish by putting this Mother Cell into their products.
Well the plot is ridiculous, the acting is atrocious and the whole thing is one unbelievable mess. Take the bats traveling to Antartica to kill the two women scientists (who just happen to be lesbians to satisfy the liberal audience) by laying on their solar panels which shuts of the electricity to the research station to the prison scene where none of the guards have a clue as to handle a crisis situation.
Bats in Antartica? Really? The "Defiant Pupil"? A bear walking into an apartment in Paris without the resident smelling it or hearing it? Rats with a "queen rat"? Honestly who wrote this? Save your time and read the book because I don't think there has been a worse TV show ever with the exception of the latest Masada massacre on NBC at Easter.
score 1/10
