The Walking Dead ...

[tng83]

After finally watching all of Breaking Bad I decided I'd get started on Walking Dead. I watched the first 2 episodes last night and won't bother with another. The writing and acting in this show is terrible. Calling it bad isn't enough. It's pathetic. And the fact that this awful show is so popular is very irritating.

In. I am currently watching Z Nation to fill the WD void. Not bad, but not the same. It will do in the short term. Those Zombies in Z Nation are fast. They also have the ability to play dead, then attack in groups. Not the same, but imo, worth a watch.

My wife has been watching Empire she said is good but I don't watch too many shows. The only 3 shows I watched and got hooked on was Spartacus, Breaking Bad and The walking dead.

Z nation is def different but kinda fun to watch. I think the zombies are faster because the make up is a lot worse than TWD and it makes it easier to cover. They waste a lot more bullets in Z nation

They also had a baby turn into a zombie. Pretty wild. A dog did too. They seem to have characters which has a mirror character in TWD. Like you said, it feels like a cheaper version, but damn TWD, did we really need a mid-season finale, with several months until the next season.

We also like Grimm.

Ang and I were talking about giving that one a go. Looks pretty decent.

We really enjoy it. Lots of story lines, and just a fun show. There is some gore (nothing like TWD), but not over the top.

I think you caught my interest with the baby turning into a zombie

I used to look forward to the new episodes, but the last few seasons have sucked. I am not looking so much into this tonight, but I will watch it with the hopes that it turns out to be a good episode. Slowly losing interest in this show.

TBH, after completing the entire season of ZNation, when I watch (and I am atm) TWD, it appears to be in slow motion by comparison. While the premise of both shows appears to run darn close, the action sequences in Znation move at lightning speed, with some clever parts (imo) which add another layer to the "situations" the group finds themselves in.

I am looking forward to TWD because I hope (and assume) they will step it up a notch. I like the character development in both shows, but if Znation can keep up the pace/intensity (and TWD stays doing what they are doing), they will be (imo) a more fun show to watch.


No hate on TWD, but pound for pound, if one stayed and one left, I would be fine either way, with a slight nod to ZN.

I haven't had a chance to watch ZN, but it is on my agenda.

Any link brahs for when its over???!

[bodyhard]

Last nights episode sucked again as well....

This show is dying a slow death....

[frozensparky]

Ang was out of town for the premiere so I had to wait until thurs to watch it. First episode I thought was pretty decent. Glad to see Aaron show up at the end of tonight's show though. Means hilltop is coming soon hopefully followed shortly by neagan.

[bodyhard]

Very very very slow episode, kind of made you feel their struggle though, I liked it

[1quick1]

1st episode sucked so bad I came in this thread to read about last nights rather than watch it.

I see this as the main idea (I think anyway). It is not a zombie show (imo). It is a character driven drama with the zombie apocalypse as the backdrop.

It was a spectacular episode, maybe the best one ever, and you missed it.

Best one ever? I'd highly doubt that but I have it recorded. Just haven't watched yet.

I know, it is all subjective. I don't get upset over the occasional lack of zombie fighting. I have also come to understand that the character development clarifies why the characters engage the zombies in the manner that they do. Last nights episode does a good job of showing how their mental state affects their ability to think and act for "the group," as opposed to only fighting for themselves.

This is just my non-film critic opinion. If folks are tuning in just to see zombies get stabbed in the head, the show is clearly not going to satisfy that for the full 60 minutes each week.

I would say anybody interested in that would probably prefer Z nation. It's way more action driven than story driven

Agree 100%. I like both shows, but they are much different in their delivery. I suspect Z Nation will eventually develop their characters as well, as evidenced by the last few episodes. I will be anxious to see how they begin season 2, considering how season 1 ended.
