Dead Set/YMMV

Complete Monster: How some viewers see Patrick.
Downer Ending: Everybody is either dead or undead.
Gorn:
- Especially during the death of Patrick, who gets the slowest, goriest death in the series.
- Patrick rants while he hacks the flesh off Grayson's body to use as bait to distract the zombies outside.
- Subverted during some character deaths - some of them, such as Kelly and Pippa, die off-screen.
High Octane Nightmare Fuel: The final shots of zombie Kelly staring directly at you through dozens of TV monitors will haunt you.
Moral Event Horizon: Patrick the producer is pretty mean from the get-go, but to really hammer this home the first episode shows him throwing a man in a wheelchair into the path of a zombie.
Tear Jerker: The death of Riq.
Unfortunate Implications: The two minorities are the first main characters to die.
The Woobie: Pretty much everyone (with the exception of Patrick).
