The Walking Dead
Since it had a short first season (only 6 episodes), AMC's The Walking Dead was on the air and then off the air before I even had a chance to blog about it.
But hell yeah, they made a show about the zombie apocalypse. And it's really enjoyable. That dude riding a horse into a deserted (by the living) Atlanta is our hero, Sheriff Grimes. He gets shot and then wakes up in a hospital after the zombie apocalypse has already hit hard. This beginning is similar to that of the movie 28 Days Later.
The production levels are really good, and there's a high level of gore, providing a visceral thrill. But this isn't JUST a show about zombies. There are some interesting conflicts between the survivors, it's about the characters, blah, blah, blah.
Entertaining run, good start to a series. We'll see how they take this and develop it in Season 2. In the meantime, the first season will be released on Blu-Ray and DVD in March.
