About “The Walking Dead”

“The Walking Dead” tells the story of the weeks and months that follow after a zombie apocalypse.  County Sheriff Rick Grimes (Lincoln) travels with his family and a small group of survivors, constantly in search of a safe and secure home.  But the constant pressure of fighting off death on a daily basis takes a heavy toll, sending many to the lowest depths of human cruelty.  As Rick struggles to keep his family alive, he will discover that the overwhelming fear of the survivors can be far more dangerous than the mindless walkers roaming the earth.

Review – The Walking Dead Episode 1

Walking Dead CastThank you, thank you, thank you for the jackass pirates who leaked the first episode of the upcoming AMC series The Walking Dead.  To say it’s amazing is an understatement, as it not only meets expectations but also surpasses them as well.  The acting, directing, story, it’s all top notch and the quality programming you’d expect from a channel like AMC.

Based on the Image comic book series created by Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead follows the survivors of a zombie apocalypse.  It’s main protagonist is Rick Grimes portrayed by the talented Andrew Lincoln.  After being injured in a line of duty Grimes awakes to a world destroyed and ravaged where the dead shamble about.  He must figure out what’s going on and attempt to find his wife and son who may or may not be alive.

The acting is amazing and direction fantastic.  The first episode follows the series quite well and is a great adaptation.  How this show fares on AMC is beyond me as it’s brutal.  It doesn’t hold back, which is fantastic and a huge relief.  And as the first episode shows, the focus is on characters, not scares.

If you’re new to the series, watch it.  This isn’t about scares or gross outs, it’s about characters.  It’s perfect for AMC.  The show deserves to be it’s next hit and if this first episode is any indication, they have one.
