Walking Dead (spoilers)

Does anyone else like this show?

After listening to the Media Junkyard rave about The Walking Dead, I decided to check it out.....can't say that I really liked it. I did give it a chance and watch all 6 episodes, but I could not get over how unimpressed I was.

Pros:
It has a great storyline with plenty of opportunities to introduce new characters as the survivors make their way throughout the land of the dead.

The makeup of the zombies is pretty good

I like that they have a set of rules about the zombies geeksofdoom.com/2010/09/28/official-zombie-rules-of-the-walking-dead-tv-show/

Cons:
The dialogue is atrocious! I'm glad they fired all the writers. Hopefully they'll bring in some talent and write for these people the way real people speak.

The situation resolutions are unbelievable. A grandmother stops a Mexican standoff???

Where's the sexy? The lead man is semi-attractive, but the wife is no Kate and the buddy cop is no Sawyer.

Finally, the acting feels like it's amateur hour or like they pulled a bunch of people from a community theater.

your thoughts?

I've been watching it too and I agree with everything you noted. I'm hoping that this season was just to feel out the audience and see what kind of feedback they would get. I'll continue to watch it just to see if it develops into something better but right know it's not blowing me away !!

I only checked it out b/c the guys at Media Junkyard gave it such a glowing review.

I'll wait for Season 2 to come out on DvD before getting too involved.
