Watching it right now. Pretty intense show. Zombies are done really well.

Are they classical zombies or the new 28-day's later-esque runner zombies?

Look at the pictures (previews) for the show, you'll get a good idea for the look. They aren't Dawn of the Dead zombies (the original) that's for sure. I haven't watched it yet so I don't know their mannerisms, but they look badass. I think I saw one clip and they look to be "normal" zombies, like not super rabid crazy mofo's, more lax/slow zombies.

I expected to see a pic of an AMC Gremlin on stilts when I open this thread....and don't laugh, I owned one for about a month.

Wow. Great show so far. The end of the first episode is pretty dire. I'm hooked.

The zombies aren't done really well, they are simply amazing. For a tv series, the production value is just through the roof.

Sadly the first season is only 6 seasons, but the good news is the 2nd season will be 13 episodes.

I can already tell after one episode this will be one of my favorite television series' of all time.

Fantastic pilot episode. I hope they can keep up the production values throughout the rest of the series.

I don't even like zombie movies or TV shows, and I'm excited to watch this based on the trailer, and the other shows that AMC runs.

Just watched this on AMC tonight. It is a little slow right now but the ending actually made me want to see the next episode! I also just saw 28 days later for the first time and definitely very similiar...

Having read the comic, the show is pretty similar but pretty different as well. We'll see where they go with it. Right now I am totally hooked on the show.

I was very impressed by this premiere. The pacing and overall tone were excellent. Its so easy to get into cheese territory with this type of setting and story, but they seem to be trying to make it "realistic" instead of an over the top gory zombie action cliche. I really liked it. I thought the part where he wakes up in the hospital was brilliant.

The episode was pretty good, buddy's wife looked more like a crackhead than a zombie, maybe she is just out on a binge and thats why he can't kill her.
I am not sure when 28 days later came out, but the comics have been out for years now, so they aren't ripping them off. (as to my knowledge)

Yeah, but still very well done I thought. Felt more like a good movie than a tv show. I think a lot of themes and ideas in "genre" based shows/movies like this tend to cross over into eachother. As long as they can keep the show somewhat atmospheric and intense, I'll watch it.

Hopefully it doesn't do what 28 Days Later did and turn into "Commando" or some cheesy action flick at some point...hated the end of that movie.

I thought the premiere was fantastic. Not too many premiere's make me wish that they would release all the episodes at once. If this keeps up I'm going to be watching the entire series in one sitting once they come out on DVD.

Just logged in to see if there was a thread about this. Had someone mention this to me today so I set the PVR, a bit into the first episode, and enjoying it so far.

When did AMC become so good, crazy how fast they went from old movie channel to an HBO/Showtime rival.
