Didn't realize it already came out. The comic book it's based on is awesome.

I'm pretty sure they will be playing re-runs all week, it was heavily advertised. Definately worth a watch.

watched this last night on accident, it is seriously awesome! never really been a fan of zombie flicks, but this one has some serious character. Will definitely be watching this all season long. It already got picked up for a second season, so good things are coming.

I think people will be really surprised how character focused this is. It's more like an end of the world survival situation and how humans adapt to that with zombie thrown into the background here or there. I thought all the actors did great so far too, you totally believed that was Morgans wife and could feel how hard that decision was for him.

Jeez that scene was intense. Definitely great acting. Now, i want to read the comic strip, but don't really want to bc im afraid i'm going to ruin the tv series for myself. It was really cool to see the actual streets and buildings of Atlanta in the scene as well, and there were some great shots that you could tell were taken straight out of the comic strip, ie him riding into Atlanta on a horse with the skyline in the distance. I thought the thing with his family is an interesting element added to the show, it makes it not completely about zombies, so im glad theres that. I watched some british zombie show about Big Brother + zombies too last night, and it was facking horrible. Walking Dead gets it right. Sidenote, its funny that stories like these, can only exist in an alternate universe where the actual concept of zombies, has never even been introduced.

I find zombie movies so hard to watch. They all move slow and I could get away if I were in a fat person motorized chair like they have in Walmart.

Apparently you haven't seen Dawn of the Dead where they run after you. Zombieland was a a fun Zombie movie, IMO. I happened to watch it last night. I think my friend told me the beginning was similar to 28 days later where the person wakes up in a hospital and everybody is dead. But I do agree, the storyline at least from the 1st episode, provided enough material for me to watch the next episode. |

I was watching Swamp People and then this came on. I thought it was a movie at first and then realized that it's the new series. I wasn't able to watch the whole thing but what I saw was awesome.

I've been meaning to start reading the comic forever and just recently learned about the TV series. I just watched it tonight. Awesome. I enjoyed the juxtaposition of the two decisions to kill the female zombies. Happy to see Lennie James whose work on the short-lived TV series Jericho I enjoyed.
Interesting note... the creators shot all the blood and guts they wanted, intending to remove some for broadcast and saving the rest for DVD. AMC never requested that they remove anything. |

I'm sure the first episode is floating around on the torrent sites but I would be shocked if they don't replay it a couple times this week.

I just read it beat every show other than Desperate Housewives on Sunday and got the best ratings for any AMC show ever. Hopefully that means a second season will officially be greenlit.

Don't think this movie was marketed very well. I just found out about this movie yesterday because of a youtube vid that was recommended to me. When I first saw it, I thought it was a movie that wasn't going to come out for a while-- low and behold, it already came out! I want to see it none the less.
Also really want to see 127 Hours |

Really big fan of the comic. When I heard that they were making a series of this and that AMC was doing it I thought "AWESOME!" Check out the comics if you have a chance. Glenn is my favorite character. |

127 Hours has NOTHING to do with zombies. Stay on FCKING topic, damn this pisses me off. Don't type every little thought that comes to mind and stop point whoring douche.
Watched the series after I watched the effing Rangers lose, and was thoroughly impressed. I read the comic books a while back and hardly made the connection until I was actually watching the show. It's impressive how graphic and gore-y they were able to make it even for a TV show, because that's the only way you can demonstrate the horror of a true zombie apocalypse. The show does the comic justice, but the read is still better as always. Plus there are some good scenes that I doubt will make it on to television. It's a bit pricey though because it's not a typical comic book, it's more of a graphic book with quality print and there a quite a few of them. (The winter one in the estates = tits) |

I liked how the episode ended but there was a lot of talking at times.
I never read the comic but I hope the story and the action picks up. |

Ok so i finally checked it out last night, this show is pretty awesome with an awesome storyline, has a lot of potential to get even better
the worst part of the show is its on AMC = 1000000x commercials even when its On Demand

You are definitely right about Dead Set (the british one). The ending in particular was much too rushed in that show, ridiculous. The Walking Dead after 90 minutes is already better than that entire 6 part series in my opinion.

Agreed on Dead Set as well, terrible ending.
I saw this playing on IFC last night (DirecTV) and it appears to be commercial free as well on that channel.
