Channel 4 premiered gruesome horror series Generation Z on Sunday, but viewers were underwhelmed by the Zombie bonanza, branding it a ‘load of rubbish’.
The six-episode series was created by cult director Ben Wheatley, who is known for films such as A Field in England, Kill List, Sightseers and Free Fire.
The show opens in the quiet town of Danbury, however, an unlikely apocalypse soon begins to unfold.
Events kick off when an army convoy overturns, and a chemical leak has an immediate effect on the residents of a nearby care home.
The OAPs immediately savage their care staff and break out of the home to find fresh young meat.

Meanwhile, a group of teenagers have to deal with the apocalypse that’s taken over their sleepy town.
Sue Johnston, Robert Lindsay, Anita Dobson, and Johnny Vegas star in the gory mini-series, which has divided viewers.
After watching the series, viewers took to X, formerly Twitter, to slam the show and claimed they would rather watch Gogglebox repeats.
One viewer wrote: ‘I gave it half an hour but not for me. #generationz.’; ‘#Generationz, what a load of rubbish.’;
‘Is the dialogue improvised? had to put subtitles on to understand what they were saying, but still not rocking my boat. No idea what’s going on.’
‘#GenerationZ Gave up after 5 mins … I’m waiting for repeat of #CelebrityGogglebox.’; ‘Turned it off at the ad break. #generation’
However, some viewers enjoyed the show with one person stating ‘Really good so far!’ as another echoed: ‘Everything about this is iconic, I love it #GenerationZ’
Generation Z is available to stream on Channel 4.

It comes after Channel 4 axed a fan-favourite drama after just one series, despite it getting excellent reviews and a string of awards.
The hard-hitting show, which fans dubbed ‘harrowing’, followed a teenager being violently attacked at an illegal beach rave.
The attack sends shockwaves through a Merseyside community as friends and family try to seek out the truth by unveiling people’s deepest secrets and lies.
The Gathering starred Sherlock star Vinette Robinson, 43, as Natalie, a woman who is dubbed the ‘mother from hell’, with her daughter, Jessica, played by Sadie Soverall, a talented teen gymnast.

The show also starred Ten Pounds Poms star Warren Brown who played Paul, who was facing jail after a vicious bust-up in a park.
The star took home the Best Actor award at the Monte Carlo Television Festival in June for his performance.
And Eva Morgan, who played Paul’s gymnast daughter, won Best Actress, while the show itself picked up Best Series.
Despite a slew of gongs, executive producer Simon Heath told The Sun: ‘The series performed very well for Channel 4 but there are new people in charge and new priorities, meaning The Gathering won’t be coming back.’
