I find the whole relationship between Rick and Shane so contrived. It pisses me off when Shane says to Rick's wife that "Rick is his best friend." The entire show, who would have guessed that? Even if you're sleeping with the guy's wife, and you thought he was dead, wouldn't you be excited to have seen your best friend alive? I would think so. Yet all Shane can do when Rick comes back is look pissed off and stare at Rick's wife. There should have been a range of emotions, not just getting mad that your affair has to end.
That's just one part of this show that's bothered me so far. The characters are so disappointing, as is the writing. The concept is the only reason I'm watching still, as well as curiosity about certain aspects of the zombie plague.
