The new ABC series "The River" suffered a zombie infestation last week! The series is the story of a group searching for a missing explorer along a tributary of the Amazon River where strange things happen. In last week's episode the group ran across an abandoned research center. While searching they are attacked by groups of dishevelled, bloody and emaciated people who seem to have no other interest than killing and possibly eating them. These were definitely "fast zombies".

This seems like it was a one-off story with no ongoing arc (and who knows if the series will be back!). Still, it was fun seeing the zombie genre portrayed on a major broadcast network.
