"AMC's new zombie drama The Walking Dead debuted to 5.3 million viewers, the largest audience for any original series on the network.

"It's a good day to be dead," said AMC President Charlie Collier. "We are so proud of this series, its depth of storytelling and the remarkable talent attached."

Really good so far. I am watching it ahead of Dexter.

its pretty grusome aint it ... misses was gagging at ep 2 . got ep3 havent watched it yet,,,

[skeletor]

I assume that was when they were chopping up the zombie to smear the blood and guts on them.

Ep3 has it's moments but not as gruesome as that.

hmm starting to get my doubts about it now... it seems like every zombie film ive ever seen mixed with left for dead mixed up... misses isnt in to either.. could be a no go for us this one... im having trouble with the plot abit ...and zombies are anoying... shuffling about really slow..then jumping over fences and running the next.... ill carry on for a bit..

[skeletor]

It's alright, not as great as I thought it would be though, still worthy of a watch.

Season is finished, not back on until next Autumn.

All the writing staff have been fired by Frank Darabont which is probably a good thing as he can do more.

It finished without any clear indication of what was going to happen next and has been disappointing since the premier but still better than some shows that are on.
