How is Netflix’s “Reality Z” Related to British Series “Dead Set”?

Netflix has released another zombie apocalypse “Reality Z” recently. Netflix is leaving no stone unturned in bringing out one series after another. In its quest to churn out maximum content as possible, it has covered all major genres including comedy, action, drama, horror. Name a genre and Netflix probably has made a series on that topic.

Reality Z is based on a fictional reality show Olympus (rip off of reality show Big Brother ). The reality show Olympus involves a group of contestants that stay together and every week one of them is voted out. The reality show goes on normally initially but a sudden zombie apocalypse that destroys everything outside. The contestants are forced to stay together in the studio as zombies now rule the world. The director and the producer differ in their course of action. There are some that want to fight the undead and there are some that want to profit out of the crisis.  Can the former competitors survive together? Or are they still competing with each other’s lives?

“Reality Z” is written and created by Claudio Torres. This series has been directed by Rodrigo Monte.

How is “Reality Z” related to the British series “Dead Set”?

Does the storyline of Reality Z sound familiar to some audience? It seems familiar because Reality Z is based on Charlie Brooker’s British horror series Dead Set.
