Walking dead had a pretty good first season and the season where they first came to the farm but the only reason I keep watching now is zombies. The acting is shit and so is the story line. |

After reading some of the online reviews, it appears that the biggest gripe is that the show has killed off three black characters! RACISTS!!!

With that said, I'm really liking it so far. Yea, some of the characters are annoying (I was audibly saying, "Shut up, woman!" to the ex-wife character while watching), but that's better than no emotion towards them at all. |

It's just ok. I'm not really looking forward to watching it like I do the original.
The story in the original is infinitely better, btw. So far all we have are liberals running around and whiney kids with drug issues. They've been following the comics almost to the letter on TWD. I suppose if you're unfamiliar with it or just 'watch for zombies' then you'll probably like the spinoff more. |

For now, the "disease" is the antagonist. I don't think you'll get a character antagonist in only 6 episodes.

I think the barber shop owner is going to be one hell of an antagonist.
Not quite Shane good, though. |

By the way, at the end of the last episode, they did something that drives me nuts in shows like this:
Daughter: Mom, what's happening? Mom: *silence* Daughter: Tell me what's going on. Mom: *moody look; stare out window* Daughter: (should have said) |

The hot daughter is hot.
She is also extremely stupid for a smart girl. |

I will credit where it's due though. In the scene where Mom (I forget her name) has to kill walker principal it took a few hits to the head. My guess is that he's a "new" walker and his skull is not rotted away. Nice little detail, at least I'd like to think that was what they were going for. |

I recall that the show creators talked about how the walkers in FTWD would not be as "broken down" as the walkers are in TWD. Since this is the outbreak of the walkers they are are "stronger" then the walkers in the later seasons of TWD.
