Eh, after the whole punching a walking zombie shark with a battery and walking away with only a few scrapes it is clear that the MC group is safe/plot armored, with the new episodes that also seems to include the people in the village. Everyone else is pretty much fair game.
Though I am in it for the crazy fun and seeing a more cheerful/hopeful(?) representation of a zombie pandemic.

Going off of other themes, it was when the old folk were talking about how they worked hard, my mind suddenly made a comparison them working exhaustively as farmers, and say the working for a black company that the series mainly criticises. I was wondering if now we were supposed to think that working super hard was now supposed to be a good thing...

The difference is that the villagers were working hard for themselves, not being virtually forced to work for someone else's goals. Working hard because life's vagaries require it feels rewarding and makes you stronger and more resilient because you survived (assumig you did), while working (too) hard because a merciless power-tripping boss requires it feels hopeless because you can't see the end of it, and makes you like a slave or a zombie. So hard work can be good or bad depending on why you're working so hard.

Episode 12 (Finale... finally)

I have to admit that after episode 10, I wasn't sure this show was gonna stick its landing. I was not vibing on Mr. Shark Teeth. However, both episode 11 and 12 redeemed things for me. I actually enjoyed seeing the backstories of the Jerks and I was highly satisfied with how things ended. I'm rating the show Very Good and would absolutely be up for further adventures.

I also want a second season, yet I almost feel guilty for suggesting it given how much of a horror show the production was and how insanely hard the people must have worked to make it happen.
