What did you watch?

 Hey, thanks for asking!
 I watched worse than nothing as I suffered Ian‘s revenge for the short form
movies.
 AGE OF THE LIVING DEAD (2018) Prime and Plex.
 A.k.a. Era of the Living Dead
 It’s a six episode miniseries about which almost nothing is known and what
is known is wrong. For instance, IMDb says there are three seasons of six
or seven episodes each but it’s pretty clear they only made one six episode
season. There’s also a video game that nothing is known about.

You can't trust IMDb, no matter how much I try to "fix" it!!

This is an absolutely dreadful incompetently made series that’s pretty much
like “hey kids let’s remake the strain with the grade school video club“
 You may recall that I can’t stand the strain.
 I am pretty sure this suffers from Defiling Gravity syndrome, where the
first and last episodes are written by one person and the rest is just
fill-in. Credits say the same guy wrote them all, but the credits are
standardized and identical for every episode so I suspect they lie.
 10 years ago vampires somehow took over New York City and now there are 250
million of them occupying the East Coast of the United States from the
Atlantic to about Chicago. The 150 million remaining American humans live
pretty much in California. In between is a no man’s land, that works pretty
much like Star Trek where nobody’s allowed to go in it at all.  The
vampires haven’t leached over the Canadian or Mexican borders at all and
the British seem to think they don’t exist anywhere else in the world even
though many of them talk like a bad satire of Bela Lugosi and have been
around for hundreds or thousands of years.

 As all these weird storylines collide, the show doesn’t end it just stops.
 The best thing I can say for it is it has several attractive actresses.

That's the only reason I want to watch this, though I would probably "watch" this as pure background noise (e.g. while listening to music).
