While I still dislike the way in which he presented this, I think he hit the nail on the head when it comes to summarizing the situation. \u00a0Dead Set<\/em> shows\u00a0us an apocalyptic zombie outbreak through the lens of a screen society<\/em>,\u00a0and I prefer to believe Joquin when he says that everything may be happening because a God “is judging our culture, and smiting us accordingly.” \u00a0Let’s face it, in the show and in today’s world, screens are everywhere<\/strong>, and society can seem to revolve around staring at a screen for long periods of time. \u00a0I’d venture to say that we’re all already somewhat zombie-like, and\u00a0condemning society \u00a0to literal zombification for eternity might not be that big of a change(on a large scale of course, for you and I being a zombie might shake things up a bit). \u00a0The participants of society are simply changing form, and they’re continuing to do the same things that they were doing before, staring at screens.<\/p>\n For me, Dead Set<\/em> creates an all appropriate, and terrifying, ending for the screen\u00a0culture of today.<\/p>\n Sources: Brooker, C.
