Reviews of this series by the user Isherwood (1)

The Walking Dead (2010) 

English The first episode sets up the entire vision and then the group of survivors move on. And meanwhile, we get four episodes in which nothing happens! Only the pilot, charged with emotions like Remington ´870, and the finale, which brings something new, are slightly above average, the rest of the episodes are unwatchable boredom. What takes an hour could be done in half the time. In retrospect, I can't remember what it was all about when family squabbles are resolved in a flash, and the shooting of the perfect (phenomenal make-up work!) zombies takes minimal time. Such a sparse plot wouldn't even make a feature film, let alone a six-part series. I actually watched it because I was waiting for "something." This is the biggest trap for TV audiences in a long time. The audience success overseas is a mystery to me, but in any case, I can understand why Darabont fired all the writers in the run-up to the second season, even though I actually don't care much about its origins.
