Walking Dead

I watched episodes 1 - 5 (a sponsored walk, if you like), and was quite impressed. I never read the comic, and I'm not a zombie/vampire groupie, but I enjoyed the fairly gritty, down-to-earth way it's been made. Having said that, if they wanted to make it MORE realistic, they would have acknowledged that zombies have been part of our culture for the past 40 years, and commented about how bizarre it is that 'truth is stranger than fiction'.

Doesn't beat 'The Wire' of course.
 
Having watched it all now I think the first episode was far and away the best. The others ranged from pretty good to pretty average and the zombie attack on the camp (ep 5) was probably the highlight of the whole thing. Really interested in where they're going to take this in future as it has already deviated a fair bit from the comic. Andrew Lincoln played a blinder as Rick Grimes. Wonder when/if we'll get to see Michonne?
 
I've really enjoyed it. I haven't had any expectations, and as such have accepted it for what it is - entertaining horror/drama.
 
Well I enjoyed it a lot. I expected more of them to die tbh.

Best bit about it is how stupidly scared him indoors gets :D
 
Just watched them all in one go. Made for an epic zombie movie. Haven't read the comics which I think may have been a good thing because I really enjoyed it. I was quite surprised of the level of gore in it, what with it being a tv program.
Looking forward to the second series.

Egg! :eek:
 
The fact that the writers have been fired and starting with a whole new team is in my opinion a good thing.

It was simply too close to the comic
 
Like dlx1 at first I thought it was a rather shameless 28 Days Later rip off, but I had really got into it by the end of the episode. Good character and story development. Look forward to the rest of the series.

Apparently the author of the comic book hadn't seen 28 days later when the first few issues were already written. He was then made aware of the similaries and pretty much said fuck it.
