It’s unfortunate that I’ve come to count on being bored for stretches of time during episodes 4 to 13. There are of course exceptions, but that’s just what they are – exceptions. It seems like there’s a lot of filler for a show about zombies. Trim the fat.

I admit; it’s hard to look past his perfect smile and incredibly chiseled stomach. It does beg the question – is he an android? A being designed to exemplify everything we look for in a virulent young human man and/or a Ken doll?
But even if he does resemble a Greek god and has starred in not one but three different High School Musical (2006-2008) films, it doesn’t mean he’s a poor actor – quite the contrary, in fact.

This film is less about our heroine taking on evil bad guys, and more about reconciling the reality that there is good and bad on both sides of a war.

He is a character played brilliantly by actor Vincent Kartheiser. He brings a powerful command of timing, physical humour and vulnerability to a role that, by a lesser actor, could have been played purely for the giddy thrill of villainy.
