Re: The Walking Dead
Just back from a preview screening in Glasgow.
It's immense, gory, funny, sometimes a bit moving and leaving plenty of directions for the plots to go in. The walkers aren't 28 days later fast but not the shambling ones you could walk away from without breaking a sweat.
Basically everything you could want from a zombie TV show.

Re: The Walking Dead
What? No other comments? Come on people!
Not sure how it was received here, but it's had rave reviews from the critics in the US, and the pilot episode achieved AMC's best ever ratings.
If you missed it on FX on Friday night, it is repeated at 10pm on Sunday, and again at 11pm on Monday & Wednesday.

Re: The Walking Dead
I watched it on FX on Fri and thought the opening episode was really good.
I hope it maintains this quality.

Re: The Walking Dead
Saw the first 5 episodes so far and I'm really enjoying it, really impressed with the quality too.
Channel 5 are going to start showing it from next spring

Channel 5 will be broadcasting the TV incarnation of The Walking Dead comic series next Spring.
The six-part show debuted on US television this Autumn and it's proved something of a hit. A second season has already been commissioned
