Not bad for a horror/drama. If you're obsessed with zombie lore and the idea of watching the long-term effects spanning years at a time on an entire cast of characters, then this show is for you. There are a lot of scary parts with zombies eating and the gore and visual effects are award winning, but the show is mostly how people get along with each other during an apocalyptic setting and how they rebuild civilization or just live moment to moment.

_The Walking Dead_ is one of those shows you just can't help but love! A terrifying story of human survival in an apocalyptic world. The show deals with love, loss, zombies (called 'walkers' on the show), death, destruction and zombies! Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride and Lauren Cohan are amongst the star studded cast who deliver **OUTSTANDING** performances in every episode. _The Walking Dead_ is consistently thrilling and emotionally resonant, with solid character development and enough blood-splattering gore to satisfy anyone! The comic book counterpart has a big influence on the show, so fans of the comic love it too. Each season gives enough compelling character moments to reward longtime fans, while maintaining the back-breaking tension and suspense that keeps audiences watching again and again. _The Walking Dead_ puts an intelligent spin on the overcrowded zombie subgenre, and each season demonstrates why it's one of the best horror shows on television.

The walking Dead is in once sense a metaphor for whats happened to this once great show. The originality of the first few seasons has gradually given way to a repetitiousness that tells me the show might still be shuffling along but its long since dead. The departure of Andrew Lincoln was a sign that things had come full circle and I had thought they would wind it up which, in my view, would have been the sensible thing to do. Still watching but only because I want to see where it ends. If indeed it ends. Moderately watchable. 6/10 from me.

unique! perfect show, and more if you focus on the psycologie and sociologie side! in constant evoluion... even if after season 4 or 6 we can see deterioration with the quality and building storyline; we can enjoy a clear amelioration for the best in the 8th season opening our mind to a new vision of the series ! it"s a free adaptation from a popular american comic! and it"s a pleasure to see this worl in black mirors ;)
