After reading the comic occasionally and enjoying it I was looking forward to this series a lot when I first heard about it .. and after the 1st episode I can honestly say the wait was easily worth it.

It starts off heavy and hard hitting and doesn't really ease up all the way through with even the quiter scenes leading up to something. This will probably calm down in later episodes to build up more backstory, but it worked well in this pilot.

Saying that though, it is not all gung ho action with a very moving section of the episode later on which coupled with the stirring music made me feel quite sad, but no spoling it for you.

Also, great to see Andrew Lincoln from Teachers as the lead here as he is a very capable actor as well as Lennie James from Jericho making a good appearance too. Cannot wait for the rest of the series, this could be the show I have been waiting for.

I've come to the conclusion that the world is made up of two types of people - vampire lovers and zombie lovers. In the last few years, there's been a glut of vampire TV shows and they all seem to have one thing in common - give a bloodsucker a little lovin' and they really aren't such bad guys. Zombies, on the other hand, just kind of lurch around chomping on human flesh - you never see an emo zombie: they're all about the eats.

Finally, with The Walking Dead, there's a show for us zombie fanciers. it's based on the comic series of the same name and, so far, is staying pretty close to the storyline. There's lots of gore and carnage but there's just enough romance that even a vampire person might find this show worth a view.

The Walking Dead is shaping up to be one of the best shows on TV. I know I'm already hooked.

this is the scariest show I have seen on tv in years zombies freak me out .......... ugh chills just thinking about them so if you are like me and you like a good horror film /tv you should really take the time to watch this its all being done very well good actors and a great story line I am HOOKED

I was bored of watching the same old zombie films they were all becoming tedious and really boring, Watched this show on recommendation off a good friend, watched the 1st on then felt it necessary to watch the following 5 one after another. Wish there were more well written shows like this about zombies.

Andrew Lincoln portrays Rick in such a powerful way. The opening momments hooked me hard in this episode. He made it look as believable as I have ever seen a man act out his sons dying/critcal condition. Another GREAT episode, to agruably the best show I have ever seen. Zombie genre is my favorite genre, and there are so little good movies in this genre. SO GLAD it was brought back AND with more episodes. I want more next year as well!

well good it was the most amazing thing i have ever seen in my life i have gone and bought my sherifs hat and im going to wear it when i watch the next episode i would love to be a zombie in one episode so if anyone could sort that out for me that would be swell.

Its always hard to pick a number for rating a show i like because for me either i love it or i hate ..and if i didnt like it i couldn't even watch it.I started watching this weekend and i just finished up to the current season and episode and i actually like the character development and the whole survival storyline reminds me of the resistance of the aliens in the falling skies.I love the action, the kills and the gore is great make up did a fantastic job. The zombies look gruesome and scary. and i find it a refreshing to have some drama thrown in.Although imma hardcore horror fan I wasn't a big fan of zombie films at all until this weekend..I really see this series having alot of potential.

This season finaly was just enough to keep viewers interest levels high enough to come back for the next season. The writing staff of the first season were all canned for who knows what reason because they did a terrific job. This season was very disappointing, all the drama takes too long to unfold and it is sadly predictable. In the other hand this show is trying to survive in an entertainment business that has sucked dry the zombie theme, so the writers of season two could have been giving the zombie theme a very human twist. In season two you dont see the crazy killstreaks and good guy gone zombie killing bonkers but you see how different humans react differently when confronted with possible human extinction. Hope and sheer brute survival instincts are the only things anyone could rely and it is shown in season two the negative extremes of the two skill sets. Hopefuly in season three they can add a little more action and take less time on dramatic events.

By far my favorite episode of the season. I was on the edge of my seat 42 minutes straight 5 out of 5 stars. I like how the writers add the lives after the Apocalypse drama. Not every day are you going to be facing hordes of zombies, but when they do run into a large group do they ever. This show not only tells the story of killing the zombies but how real people would react in the aftermath.

season 2 episode 4
1 zombie in a 45 minute show WTF? Is this 'the walking dead' or 'the talking living'?
Way too much drama in these last couple episodes, i hope the action improves in the next one or i may have to search elsewhere for my zombie killing kicks.

Great series :D i already know whats gonna happen in all episodes but damn its good :P rick is a great character cant wait until he gets his hand cut off :P Carl will shoot someone soon lol some one with a hint of the crazies. and the babys a girl :p but you wont see it for a very long time aha its sad what happens to it though :(
