Wow! Such a good movie.

Let's be realistic.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This show caught me completely off guard. When I was given this series as a gift by a friend I didn't know what to expect. Since then I've finished the first season and it's amazing! Imagine a Reno 911/The Office crossed with a more action filled The Walking Dead/True Blood. Brilliant comedy mixed in with great action and a little drama. Yes there are some plot inconsistencies as far as the whole story about the camera crew following the cops but this show is so very different than anything else out there. While comedy shows are great I often find myself bored after watching a couple episodes in a row. Drama's are also pretty good but are actually a little draining if you watch them all the time. This show has just the right mix of everything to keep you laughing, engrossed, and entertained. The characters may be unbelievable at times, but any good comedy show has that. Look at Community and The Office. The point I'm making is if you're trying to find a series that is 'serious'and has a really rock solid plot line, this isn't for you. But if your a guy (or girl!) who loves action and comedy with a back-story and a little drama, this is definitively a show for you. Cops, Zombies, Vampires, and Werewolves.... What more could you want?

MTV appears to be on the comeback tip in recent weeks. "Awkward." is proving to be quite a nice distraction and is actually a very interesting teen comedy series. Before that, there was "Teen Wolf" and "The Hard Times of RJ Berger." "Jersey Shore" is probably my guiltiest of guilty pleasures. And now there is "Death Valley.""Death Valley" is an unusual blend of "Cops" and every gory special effects monster movie you could think of that's been a hit in the last 40 years. "Death Valley" follows the Undead Task Force (UTF), a special unit of the Los Angeles Police Department that specializes in cases that have a supernatural twist to them: monsters. It seems that the "Death Valley" in question is not just home to humans, but also to zombies, werewolves, and vampires. And the cops of this special police unit dispose of each menace accordingly to the traditional horror movie standards (i.e., zombies have to be shot in the head).In time for Halloween, here is "Death Valley," MTV's take on popular horror movie trends and cop shows. The show mercilessly skewers said trends while still trying to be respectful of the movies that played into its inspiration and influence. The show is not scary at all, at least to adults like myself (I'm 26) or teenagers, but young children would be advised to not watch this show not just because of the gory special effects, but also because of the salty language and sexual innuendo (vampire prostitutes?).MTV seems to be coming back into an era of semi-decent programming with "Death Valley." "Awkward.," "Teen Wolf," and "The Hard Times of RJ Berger" have also played significantly in helping MTV's return to semi-decent cable programming. I just hope I haven't jinxed this channel's chances of coming back, honestly, by singing such high praises for its newest shows."Death Valley" - 10/10

all i can say after viewing all three episodes is...WOW! i love reno 911, i love anything to do with zombies, and the added vamps and werewolves is just a plus, as there not the lame sort of vamps. this show has everything I've ever wanted, from the two bumbling idiot cops spewing one liners and eating choco tacos, to the two kick ass cops flirting with each other while dishing out punishment to all sorts of ghoulies. the gore is pretty decent for an mtv show, the humor is on par with movies like super bad and the hangover, as well as shows like reno 911 and stuff like that, and the camera work isn't too bad either. i was expecting some horribly lame take on the genre by mtv...but they actually made a new genre as far as TV shows go! i know i just said it, but the amount of gore, the action, and the comedy make this show priceless. when the idiot cops were talking and the bigger one said "do u kiss your mother with that mouth?" and the other one said back "i french kiss my mother with this mouth...", "what?!!?", "oh yeah shes not that hot...", "what!??"..."actually she is pretty hot"...i almost pee'd my pants lmao. just watch it

A mix of Reno 911 and Zombieland, MTV's new mocumentary Death Valley follows the Undead Task Force. The UTF was created just one year before to combat the mysterious appearance of zombies, vampires, and werewolves in California's San Fernando Valley.You might recognize Captain Dashell (Bryan Callen) as Eddie the wedding chapel owner from The Hangover. He's lost the accent and the overload of affection but not the humor. Stubeck (Charlie Sanders) and Pierce (Bryce Johnson) are the dynamic moron duo. They are more worried about looking cool and one-liners than doing a good job but they keep you laughing. Rinaldi (Tania Raymonde) and John-John (Texas Battle) are the resident bad asses who kick butt and take names. They aren't afraid to do what they have to including take out one of their own, a zombie bitten camera man. And no good spoof would be complete without the newbie, Kirsten (Caity Lotz). She may be new and the Captain may not believe in her but it's clear that she knows her stuff. But doubtful she'll ever get the credit. The show has an interesting take on the zombie/vampire phenomena. Zombies are a part of everyday life instead of an apocalypse occurrence. The cops see zombies as just another criminal and take care of the problem like they would any other. Well, they beat them with bats and blow their brains out, so not exactly like any other. Vampires are prostitutes who get paid in blood. The show pokes fun at the zombie/vampire genre and does a good job of it while not being mean. Best of all the camera people get in on the action which is something you usually don't see. These supernatural happenings are everyday things. One of the camera men even asks why people don't just move away instead of staying and dealing with the supernatural foes. The reply? It's their home, would you leave? They make a good point. Except for the being undead and drinking blood parts these cops seem to be dealing with the same things that real cops handle every day. The show could be a commentary on the craziness that people and cops are dealing with in the real world. We may not have zombies but we do have drugs, crime, and prostitution that can be just as bad. Although the show is full of laughs there is an overkill of sexual innuendos. A few are funny but when they keep coming up they really get boring. There is a lack of back story. The audience is thrown into the action immediately following two cops running after a zombie and that's a little jolting for a first episode. This leaves you wondering where these supernatural beings even came from.If you like zombies and shows like Cops you will like this show. There are a lot of laughs to be had and lots of zombie killing. It's a nice 30 minute show to watch and take a break from the stresses of life without having to think too hard.
