Pierce Conran South China Morning Post For all its slick and stylised mayhem, Newtopia does not possess one iota of tension. What is the point of putting all that money on the screen if we are not even supposed to take the zombies seriously? Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Joel Keller Decider We like the idea of Newtopia, though it feels like we could have gotten a little more context about the central romance in the first episode. We just hope the comedic zombie action picks up quickly. Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Sarah Musnicky But Why Tho? A Geek Community Newtopia ends with a note of hope and room for more exploration if another season is picked up. However, with its failure to fully sell its romance and general unevenness between its two storylines, it may be better if the journey stops here. Rated: 5.5/10 Feb 8, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Vipul K Liked it. It was different from more serious apocalypse stories like twd, eternaut and others of it genre. The crazy characters made me laugh..it was also sad at times..i dnt think its as bad as most people are saying Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Ignacio S A Bad Korean Zombie Parody I generally like the zombie genre. I enjoy the bizarre. I like Korean productions. I like gore. And depending on the approach, I can enjoy parodies too… But I don’t like this series. Modern-day setting, a young couple as protagonists, a hotel, a big city, tons of zombies, lots of blood, lots of humor, and a bunch of ingredients thrown into a blender that never really works. The humor is the worst kind of lowbrow American style—dumb, absurd, and just plain bad. It’s been a while since a comedy made me laugh so little. The acting is awful, but clearly intentionally so, so I won’t blame the cast. If anything, the responsibility falls on the director and showrunner. While Netflix seems to be making smart editorial choices when it comes to Korean content... Amazon clearly hasn’t figured it out yet—again. I can't recommend it if you like zombies, if you’re looking for comedy, or even a genre parody. It just doesn’t know what it wants to be, other than a silly waste of time. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Mario N One of the best zombie shows I've seen since walking Dead Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review David G It wasn't something to take series reminds me of great comedy horrors like Tucker and Dale vs Evil or Army of Darkness. It was fun and enjoyed it even though there were times I wanted to slap the leads. Hope there is a season 2. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review Hassan C Great series wonderful series best zombie series in the world full enjoy min Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Rayan S if they do another season then it will be 10 on 10 but if they do it...then... otherwise everything was amazing...the only problem is i think...when things were getting more interesting and building it up then exact at that point they turned it off (if its end here then ill give it 7 out of 10 tho..and also it would be a great injustice to jisoo's performance.) ...so all we need....just season 2 thts all ...
