I really enjoyed the premier and I hate to bring it up again, but the acting in this show is terrible. Andrew Lincoln is awful, I'm only singling him out because he's the protagonist, but everyone is fairly bad. The only two people that are half-way decent are the Asian kid and Darryl.

Seems odd to bitch about the acting in a zombie show, but the entire point of The Walking Dead is character driven and what people would do/how they'd react, so you need strong actors and this show has none.

The zombie effects are top-notch though. I was going to say special effects in general, but that explosion in season 1 was laughable.
