Mexico doesn't hide death. It builds altars for it, cooks for it, writes jokes about it, dresses it in flowers and, every November, welcomes it home. So perhaps it was only a matter of time before Mexico got its own zombies.
For Fernanda Castillo, that's what makes Prefiero la muerte (I Rather Die), the new Mexican zombie series that premiered globally Friday, Oct. 2, on Prime Video, more interesting than simply relocating an undead apocalypse to a Spanish-speaking town.
