Zoo (US tv show)

[Small Man Big Horse]

Apologies if there's already been a thread but I couldn't find one, and I know I'm late to the party as it's already on it's second season. Anyway, it's a show about animals going batshit crazy / evil, and I'm really enjoying it. It's never going to be a classic piece of tv, it occasionally gets a bit soapy and slightly contrived in places, but I'm three episodes in and liking it so far just for all the times the animals decide to get all murderous. Especially the lions in the first episode, they were dead sexy.

My other half is up to date and claims season two is pretty stunning stuff, at least for genre tv, and much much better than the first. Indeed whilst watching it she often gasps and shouts at the tv a good few times during each episode, and that only normally happens when we have intercourse.

Up to season two episode three now and it's still an enjoyable ride. The first season drags things out a little at times, and there's too much "We need to find Object A, hooray we've got it, oh no we've lost it again, hey we've got it back but now we need Object B" type plotting. But it has lots of scenes of animals going mental, and season two has upped it's game with the death toll currently being

Have any slugs gone mental in it?

Not yet, but with this show I wouldn't rule anything out.

They've just killed off one of the main characters. This pleases me, as despite liking the character it makes it feel more like anyone could perish at any time.
