When Squid Game took the world by storm, many wondered if Netflix could replicate that lightning-in-a-bottle success with another Korean thriller. Then, in early 2022, All of Us Are Dead dropped—and it didn’t just walk the walk. It sprinted, tripped, got back up, and bit the world on the neck.

Based on the webtoon Now at Our School by Joo Dong-geun, Season 1 of All of Us Are Dead isn't just another zombie show. It’s a claustrophobic, heart-wrenching, and surprisingly emotional siege story that traps you inside a high school and refuses to let you breathe for 12 episodes. All of Us Are Dead - Season 1
But here’s the terrifying twist: these aren't slow zombies. They are fast, coordinated, and driven by a single instinct: bite. Worse, some students become "halfbies"—immune carriers who retain their intelligence but struggle with a hunger for flesh.
But these are minor gripes in an otherwise relentless thrill ride. The finale doesn't wrap things up in a neat bow. After the bombing of Hyosan, our surviving core group—On-jo, Su-hyeok, Ha-ri, and the halfbie Nam-ra—part ways. The final shot of Nam-ra jumping off a building with other halfbies in the ruins of the city is chilling. It promises that Season 2 won't just be about survival anymore. It will be about a new species. Final Verdict ⭐️ 4.5/5 Gore, jump scares, or watching children suffer
