Sure, the main story is humanity trying to learn how to survive in that kind of world, but it's roots are firmly planted in horror.

I think MoneyGuy had it bang on in that the audience has become very complacent about what level of violence and gore we are seeing. The show itself pokes fun at that. That scene where Sasha and Rosita are having a conversation and then just casually pull out knives and put them in two walkers head and then continue their conversation. We also had zombies being melted to fences with molten metal. After the Lucille scene, this all seems a little ordinary though.
