Anybody catch this show tonight? I\'m usually not a big zombie movie fan, but this might be a show worth watching every week.
-
It\'s already the best show on TV...airing new episodes.
I can\'t wait to see some main characters dying.
-
Yeah...i gotta admit...i was interested in this, and it\'s been a loooong time since a show caught my interest...last show to do that was "the shield". This first show started off strong and the special effects on the zombies weren\'t cheap looking either, as in just throwing some different variations of color on the actor\'s faces.
There were real decay and disfigured effects being seen here,..i guess what i\'m saying is that for a series or prime time tv show *for lack of a better word*...the production values seem pretty high for a show like this, and even tho it\'s based on a theme that\'s been done to death, (zombie apocolypse)...the overall storyline so far was still interesting....hopefully it\'ll maintain it\'s momentum in the coming weeks...lookin\' forward to this one....
I also hope they keep the theme on the serious side, and not go the comedic route, as in stupid one liners after killing a zombie, or that characters kill the zombies in over the top exaggerated fashion....with over the top sarcastic dialogue.....

glad they showed the episode like 3 times,lol. I saw this thread and didnt think about it since i never heard of it (assumed it was on showtime er something)..then saw it on another forum so i got it on my dvr. havent watched it yet though
-
Great premier. Never read the graphic novel, though, and so I was glad it was sticking with the "Zombie Laws". ie, they don\'t turn into Olympic Athletes with the agility of Michael Jordan, they don\'t use their heads to break down doors (lookin\' at you, Will Smith and your stupid movie I Am Legend").
-
I liked it a lot. will definitly get into watching the whole season...if i remember to set my dvr to record all of the new episodes.
realistically..the guy\'s bed wouldve been a MESS if he was alone for a long period of time in the hospital. but i guess its good not to show some things
-
love most anything that has to do with zombies, so this is a must watch for me... luckily it comes on right after Dexter on Sunday nights, so it fits into my schedule quite nicely (so long Sunday night football).
-
Britain\'s "Dead Set" is pretty awesome too. It\'s finished at least. It\'s inspired by a chapter in World War Z regarding a Big Brother Show in the midst of the breakout. Survivors tried to get into the compound for safety and protection...soon followed by the dead.
-
The 3rd episode was ok, tho i did think it started off slow...especially the first half hour...too much of rick saying how much he missed his family, all of these long-winded scenes of nothing but filler and mushy s**t....
And them going back for that racist dude and ammo is a bit of a stretch for me to believe, but espisode 4 looks like the action is going to pick up again...i\'m still impressed with the special effects on the zombies....it\'s the kind of stuff you see on high end horror flicks...it\'s not cheap looking at all.
I\'m kind of glad that they aren\'t explaining the cause of the outbreak either...it\'s just chaos and that\'s it,..and i like how it seems that this thing is taking over the u.s. in what seems like one city at a time...at one point i heard rick say.."atlanta\'s been completely taken over or compromised"....maybe later on they might pinpoint the cause, but i hope not...i still like what i see so far tho...
