Synopsis

The world is a big waste according to four friends who spend most of their time discussing zombies while getting drunk and high. When the dead actually do rise they must use their limited knowledge and skills to survive.
Wasted breaks the rules of prime-time comedy with edgy multicultural characters and situations that pokes fun at race, religion, taboo topics, and the zombie genre itself. This show will present how they deal with the world before and during the zombie outbreak, often resorting to the past in order to face the future.

    This series is witty, has a great theme, insanely multicultural, they represent different religious backgrounds, have a strong female lead, has a Zombieland/Pineapple Express type humor, the list goes on. I truly feel Wasted has the best representation of our country....and BONUS who doesn't want to see a post apocalyptic version of Canada??!!

    i give ya'll 5000xp points!

    Lets take a zombie humor idea, and shove in pot references for no reason whatsoever. When a show would be better off without it's own theme, there's a problem.

    Stoners hunting zombies is a bit hackneyed but the actors are great. I thought the photography was very good. It is silly young men humour but then that can be very funny. I laughed out loud at all three trailers.
