Its popularity is not due to the awesome storytelling or acting but due a craptonne of people wanting to watch a TV show about the zombie apocalypse, that they will see through the poopy acting.
I'd prefer better acting, but if its a toss up between no Walking Dead and Walking Dead with crappy acting, thats the one I'm choosing.
Its like blackberry, what a bulky plodding POS, but so many bloody people want(ed) email on their phone that it did awesome.

no, i'ts not a brilliant show by any means. At its core, it's still a fun escape from reality kind of show. But there is some good in it and I know personally, I could care less about the zombies. That's not what drives my interest. Maybe that's what drives the huge ratings, but I'm into it because of the storytelling, because of the interesting characters and because it's put a different spin on your average zombie fare. We've never had a zombie show before and with 50 plus episodes to work with, the pacing of this story is going to be a lot slower, but can also dive into more interesting character storylines.
But yes, the acting is mediocre at best, I can't debate any of that.
