Series Overview
The Dead tells the story of a small group of survivors living in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse.The first season mostly takes place in the Charlotte metropolitan area, and the second through fourth seasons in the surrounding countryside of northern and southern North Carolina, as the survivors search for a safe haven away from the shuffling hordes of predatory "Followers" (as the zombies are referred to in the show), who devour any living thing they catch, and whose bite is infectious to humans. The plot focuses primarily on the dilemmas the group faces as they struggle to maintain their humanity during the day-to-day challenges of surviving in a hostile world. This includes battling the zombie hordes, coping with casualties, and dealing with predatory human survivors.The group is led by Frank Petts, who was a Doctor before the zombie outbreak. At every turn they are faced with the horror of the walking zombies, the changing dynamic of their group, and hostility from the scattered remains of a struggling human populace who are focused on their own survival now that society's structures have collapsed.

Zombies in The Dead
Zombies within The Dead universe are Danny Boyle's version of George Romero's Night of the Living Dead zombies and Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead Zombies. Danny Boyle  wrote that "Romero's evolving zombies are his spin. Mine just keep rotting."Boyle's zombies are relatively weak and unintelligent as individuals, but are dangerous in large numbers, and are the main antagonists within the post-apocalyptic world of The Dead.Frank saw that the first 3 months people were just turning into them but after he saw people turn into Zombies Following classic Romero rules, the dead corpse of anyone that dies for any reason will reanimate as a zombie, unless the brain of that individual is badly damaged or destroyed. When a person dies, the infection they carry reactivates critical areas of the brain that support necessary vital systems, resulting in reanimation. Because only a portion of the brain is reactivated, the reanimated person retains only a physical resemblance to their former self.The first cases of infection progressed through a state of fever, aches, and internal bleeding, and this illness ultimately was fatal It apparently infects synapses, mostly concentrating on those in the brain stem. It eventually causes the adrenal glans to hemorrhage and the brain to shutdown, all brain activity would cease, followed by the major organs and the body would be clinically dead: no measurable brain activity, no reflexes, and no respiration or pulse. A variable time later, the pathogen through some means would revive synapses it infected and reactivate the brainstem of the dead body, but only the brainstem and not the cerebrum or cerebellum. The person would be dead, literally and figuratively, no respiration, pulse, or higher mental function, driven by subconscious survival instincts only. In this reanimated state, the dead body is able to wander around instinctively trying to feed itself even though it had no digestive or circulatory activity. A reanimated body responds to stimuli such as light, scent, and loud noises. Oddly, even if the head was separated from the body, as long as the brain was intact, the head would still attempt to eat anything within reach. The body was truly dead, which meant that it did not feel pain, had no reflexes, and wounds to it (apart from those directly inflicted on the brain) did not heal; its rate of decomposition slowed somewhat while reanimated, but the breakdown process continued. There is anecdotal evidence that some Followers retained vestigial elements of memory and personality such as clinging to possessions. A Follower was also once observed to use a brick as a tool, but there has been only one observation, and that was in the field.
