How it feels

The community is deeply divided and prejudiced against the reanimated, forcing Kieren to confront his family and neighbors while dealing with his own trauma.

What happens

In the Flesh is a BBC Three supernatural drama series starring Luke Newberry. Written and created by Dominic Mitchell, the show began airing on BBC Three on 17 March 2013 with the first series consisting of three one-hour-long episodes. Set after "the Rising", which is the show's take on a zombie apocalypse, the drama focuses on a reanimated young man, Kieren Walker, and his return to his local community. An extended second series of the show, consisting of six one-hour-long episodes, began airing in the United Kingdom on BBC Three on 4 May 2014 and in the United States on 10 May 2014 on BBC America. In January 2015, BBC Three announced that In The Flesh would not be renewed for a third series due to cuts to its budget for its final year as a linear channel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
