i watched the whole first series.

it was OK. critic style a 3 /5.


it had good actors, interesting scenes and well, zombies, well done zombies.

on the downside, the plot which is predictable from the episode before. it really ruins the suspense, when you kind of guess from the beginning which characters are there to die, and wish ones will leave to fight another day.

I didn't get into the second series, because the last 2 episodes of the first serious were horrible IMO. they seriously ruined the story with all that sci-fi thingy, and a poor explanation of what happened.

Let's see... A deadly virus has broken out and taken the world by storm. Everyone who gets infected turns into an animated rotting corpse with a thirst for human blood. They bite the living to "infect" them and make them zombies. The only way to kill them is to blow their head off. So our heroes strap up with an arsenal of guns, run around and shoot zombies...

Nah, count me out lol. This plot line was, imho, lame from day one. But now it's so cliche that I think it's not even fit for a film school project. This same exact plot has been made into hundreds of movies and video games, none of which are very good. And lately, they've started reusing it more and MORE! Why? No idea... It's often modified a bit, like maybe it's not a virus but something to do with aliens or black magic. But it's the same ol', same ol' bs.

AMC needs to stick to good series like "Breaking Bad"!

Never been into Zombie movies ( or the comics either for that matter) before until I saw 'The Walking Dead'.

Now I'm waiting week to week to see it. One thing, they don't mind killing off thier core characters! Not many of them left.

The last show of the season should be a bit special. We get to see more walkers for a change!

I'ld rate it 5 out 5 smelly animated corpes any day!

What was "sci-fi" about the last 2 episodes and what explanation was missing?

I have been loving this show from day one, its not your stereo typical zombie fest for sure. I personally have never been that into Zombie movies, but this has such a deeper layer than just head shots on the undead.

I have started reading the graphic novels, while different are even better than the show.

I am excited for Sunday as well, except for the fact that I will have to wait till next season to see it again.
