With this being a made for TV show, I was a little surprised at how graphic the gore was. Very intense opening episode though. For me, the hospital scenes were the scariest - waking up from a coma like that and finding everyone just gone would be terrifying.

It always makes me laugh with any movie like this that the characters always make the same mistakes. If I'm wandering disoriented through a dark and destroyed hospital and I come across a door leading to a hallway with gallons of blood splattered everywhere and a half-eaten corpse in the middle of the floor, the last thing I'm doing is going in there. Likewise with the decision to go to Atlanta. I understand he's looking for his wife & kid, but any major city would mean more people and therefore more zombies, right? You'd think one would stick to more rural areas in crazy times like these. The scene where he's riding into the city on the freeway and the outbound lanes are jammed with cars but there's not a single vehicle going in should probably be another clue.

Still a very enjoyable show though - can't wait for the next epsiode.
