Since the first episode focuses mostly on Rick, you will get chills following him on his adventure through this new world, especially if you don't know what's coming up.October 31, 2010
The show takes full advantage of serial TV's ability to intimately explore interpersonal character dramas.October 31, 2010
The show quickly moves past its familiar premise.October 31, 2010
As writer/director, Mr. Darabont brings his humanistic touch to this zombie story that elevates it from a typical us vs. them tale.October 31, 2010
Fans of the comic book and first-rate psycho-horror may form a large enough audience to make this a hit. Those not in those groups may want to start by taking a deep breath.October 31, 2010
Season three feels like a new start for The Walking Dead, bringing it a little closer to fulfilling the expectations raised by original showrunner Frank Darabont's involvement, the award-winning source material, and AMC's pedigree.October 31, 2010
The Walking Dead is a good, old-fashioned horror-genre flick/series, without pretension or - for that matter - much of a message, either.October 31, 2010
Old-fashioned lurchers, lots and lots of 'em, are the ticket on AMC's much-ballyhooed The Walking Dead, based on the long-running comic book of the same name.March 28, 2014
This first season is full of Darabontian glimpses shining briefly through an otherwise unforgivably dull patchwork quilt of ideas.October 31, 2010
An ongoing nightmare requires ongoing viewers, and therefore a show that stays strong as it goes along, if not one that gets better and better over time, and I'm not sold that The Walking Dead is that kind of show.
