In the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse, a small group of survivors struggles to cross the United States in search of safety. At every turn, they face unspeakable horrors as hordes of the undead and a violent, scattered human populace push the group to the brink of insanity. Only through each other and their determination will they find the means to survive.
[2] Freaking awesome! Total suspense, great drama; excellent interplay between human beings in apocalyptic circumstances. Watching social norms struggle under the pressure, some surviving, others discarded... the break down of social interaction into an ugly and tense confrontations, with some instances of questionable heroism... brilliant. Brilliant.
I must say that I can't believe how they managed to stretch out what lasted only a few issues, into an entire season. I love the comic and I love the show so I show my support but I really hope next season is a little more "dead" and a little less "walking" and "talking" (Talking Dead). The comic is so awesome on so many levels and has me begging for more every month but honestly, I have forgotten to even watch the last couple of episodes on Sunday! Season one set a bar that season two has not quite met. I will continue to show my support as much as I can.
Was really excited for this during the early first season, then towards the end of it and into the second season I started getting disappointed. I'll continue to watch though
First season of this series was amazing and showed great potential. I highly recommend fans to pick up the comic, even more so, if you're disappointed with the second season. The TV series' storyline differs from the original found in the comics.
So the first season was a great surprise. However, terrible acting, budget cuts, (very) weak plot, and shameless product placement have taken this show out of my collection. I'm really not sure I can even give it a second chance.
Loved the first season. This second season.... not so much. A lot of the cool cinematography elements that made the first season feel more like a movie than a tv series are missing from this season. The actors are really all that's holding it together so far, and they're just barely managing.
This is the price that gets paid for having less than half the budget per episode that they had last year. :(

So far it has been amazing. Here is hoping they go just as far off the comic to make it not boring for those who read it but still keep it an amazing show.
I'm a big zombie fan and a lot of people I admire are involved in this show. A Breaking Bad director and a Lost director each directed one episode.
That being said, the characters and the writing for this show are pretty poor. They're doing a good job with making the zombies seem realistic, but the characters seem fake and shallow. A lot of the plot devices are equally predictable.
I'm hoping they can do more with the second season. I'll still be watching, but it's been a disappointment so far.
The start was stunning then it seemed to peter out a little towards the end. Have high hopes for the second season although I'm a little worried they've got nowhere good to go.
My friend, Goldeneye01 introduced me to this show. Liked it a lot, but found some of the campervan/caravan material a bit slow? Maybe Im just a blood-fiend :) I thought the actress who also played Sarah Tancredi in Prison Break has improved, I think she's better in this than in Prison Break.
Only seen the first ep so far. Seems OK but a tad heavy. Trying to bring myself to watch another ep! defiantly not a show to watch multi eps in a row... or to watch more than once.
Zombies are cool though I suppose, and the effects are really great for a TV show.
They started off great and with awesome production values.
Love zombie apocalypse and the end of the world. But last 3 episodes are less amusing, it feels like they are searching what to do or attracting a different audience.
They invest in the cast to get you to like them and then they die or leave or get left behind. Really they are not that likable.
Hope next season is like episode 1. Which is by far the best.
Just my 2 cents
