Has anyone been watching The Walking Dead? It's a very good series.

What makes The Walking Dead a good series? It's been on recently, and with all the repeats, there's been not much else to watch!

Sorry it posted before I'd finished!!

The above is a serious question, not a critism.
This thread has been very entertaining and enlightening. Previously I've avoided zombie movies cos the thought of them is quite frightening, and they resemble some people too closely, except for the eating people bit.

I'd really like to know what makes this series good so I can watch it with new eyes.

It is a bit to human and too "well how else can I say this American??" Here you have thousands of zombies willing to eat you find you at any and all cost. Yet it shows the human mind at work. How we as humans will react and how they will survive.

It is good to watch lots of drama human emotion and the action is not to bad. Human betrayal, how simple act can make people self-righteous and just conclude that they alone are right is just some of the aspects touched here.

I just like the zombies, they're the classic slow moving variety and they seem to have some residual memory of when they were still human. They can only be killed by head trauma and they show no fear, they can even climb stairs...well some of them can at least. I also like the fact that every human that dies becomes a zombie, they don't need to be bitten. Even if someone dies of natural causes and there's no zombies around for miles that person still becomes a zombie anyway.
