The walking dead

aproctor · 25 Oct 2010 at 18:38

I just watched the first episode of this at a friends house and i can say is WOW.

It is a TV series set at the beginning of a zombie holocaust and follows a few survivors as they struggle for salvation.

The first episode is an hour long and seems to have borrowed quite a bit from every other zombie film/game/comic but flows really well and there a quite a few bits that keep you on edge.

Could AMC be turning into a bit of a HBO rival? One to watch.

Is it weird I've never noticed the TV part? Thought it always said Music and Books so I gloss over it

I think it used to be called music and books, long long ago

Has it not been released yet? I could have sworn i saw loads of posters for it in Cambridge this weekend....It is still very good, lets hope the BBC get it.

Of all the crap that goes in here i really don't think it is an issue, if i wanted to start a debate about its finer points, fair enough but i was just giving people the heads up.

Or you could read the graphic novels/comics the show is based on, which are excellent

Yer it's not aired yet publically, only a leaked private screener has appeared on the interwebs... hence it being against OC rules.

The UK premiere is on Friday November 5th on FX at 22:00.

it's not been out in america yet,. the only copy that's out is a leaked pre broadcast copy.

Also it's based on the comic by the same name, which is the best zombie related thing I've read or watched ever.
