The Walking Dead 14:46 - Jun 2 with 2387 viewsGlasgowBlue

Although I'm aware of it I've never seen it. Just noticed it being pushed on Sky with all 11 seasons.

Worth a watch?

I watched it religiously in the beginning and it became a chore to watch. From a technical point of view it gets REALLY jarring and obvious later on as the availability of actors leaves you with a bunch of episodes in a row that focusses on one or two characters together for an episode, then the next episode is of one or 2 other characters (and so on) but over the same timespan as the other episodes. I butchered that explanation but imagine a season that spans 2 or 3 days and of the 20 or so episodes it is just a profile of what a very small subset of the ensemble has done in that time, one after the other, while the story arc is almost stood still.

It has good moments, but since The Last Of Us came out (almost perfect) it really shows how shabby of a show it is in parts.

TLDR: Watch 'The Last of Us' instead, it is a way better story and actually makes zombies quite fast, agile and scary rather than a shambling crowd.

I got bored after two seasons to be honest, which was before it really took off, and haven't ever felt the urge to go back and persevere with it.

Good first few series but as time went on, the plot holes like the characters seemingly being able to have developed the ability to teleport miles and miles from one second/scene to the next used to really get on my t*ts, and it took me right out of it.

its a bit 'meh'

I struggled with it until someone on here suggested I regarded the zombies as Norwich fans

If you want a good zombie fix, I'd recommend The Last Of Us if you haven't seen it. Some superb acting and story telling. Only 1 season out at the moment but season 2 is coming next year.

I got about 3 seasons in and then did really bother with anymore.

The latest spin off looks decent though but not sure I can be bothered to go back and watch the whole 11 seasons for the back story.

Truly impaired.

Yeah, not too zombified which doesn’t interest me particularly.

Then play the games as they are fantastic.

The first eight seasons of TWD were brilliant...then Negan turned nice and it went to pot a bit.

It's like a lot of American series. They drag on and on and kill the life out of them literally. There's only so many zombies you can see have the faces smashed in and heads chopped off. I watched one of the new series and couple of days ago and switched over as I was bored with it. On the subject of a lot of these new series why is it that they insist on going back two years then forward six months then back again. It really annoys me when the do that as you don't know where you are. But a mention for Tokyo Vice which I think is excellent.

Very inconsistent. The comics its based on are mostly terrific tho/

Watched it all. Really could have been condensed to 6 series.

I really wanted Rick to be reunited with his daughter at end of 11.

But then there wouldn’t be any point to the spin-offs, eh?

And so it goes on and on and on…

EDIT- As already said, a way better series is The Last Of Us, and that’s despite the really annoying girl in it…

How I’d consider a real zombie epidemic would take place is covered in the film Cargo (featuring Martin Freeman). I’d definitely recommend that.

The first 4 or 5 series were superb but after that it went down hill and I stopped watching after about 6 or 7. Got a bit 'soap opera-y' for me. But a few of the earlier episodes were genuinely utterly gripping.

Thanks for all the feedback. I like a multi season show to binge watch, especial;y if the Mrs has an early night, so will give it a go. Will wait until there are a few more seasons of The Last of Us before starting on that.

I can't remember where I got to, but it got incredibly boring and not much happening in episodes.

It must have been about season 4 or 5 (I can't really remember)

I also got as far as around S6 before giving up on it.

Add my vote to The Last of Us. I was already a fanboy of the game. The series is top notch.
