EZMM 2019 Day 4.2: Kingdom Episode 1.05 Paul Brian McCoy April 18, 2019 Zombies 101 This episode was a bit of a return to the slow burn of the opening chapters but does a good job maintaining and building tension while also laying out new mysteries to unravel.

EZMM 2019 Day 3.2: Black Summer Episode 1.05 Paul Brian McCoy April 17, 2019 Zombies 101 After three straight low-dialogue episodes, Black Summer slows down a little to let us catch up with everybody.
