"How many hours are in a day when you don't spend half of them watching television? When is the last time any of us really worked to get something that we wanted?

The world we knew is gone.

The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility. An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swest the glove causing the dead to rise and feed on the living.

In a matter of months society has crumbled, no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable tv.

In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally start living."
I agree. I don't want to watch a video game, I want to watch a quality show with interesting themes.

I think they actually do a pretty good job balancing being a dramatic tv show while also bringing in some of the over the top fun typical zomby type flavour to the show.

Can't please everyone I suppose. There are those who expect the show to be more like a B horrer movie, but I'm glad it isn't, otherwise it would be like a lot of cheesey shows that come on the Space channel that no one cares about.
