Finally was able to watch it on DVR last night, thought it was very well done. Looking forward to the rest. I heard it did very well in the ratings.

there is that fuzzy NY/LA math.

5.3 per Nielsen. came in as the 3rd highest rated cable show behind MNF and Celtics/Heat season opener.

pretty solid any way you slice it.

Loved this. I haven't followed a dramatic series on tv forever, but zombies? Are you kidding? Awesome!

But...there were two (related) things that concerned me about the opening installment:
The character development/lame-ass conversation at the beginning between the two cops, about the wife not switching off the lights or whatever...and now seeing that the cops' wife is nailing his partner....I really hope they don't go overboard playing up the emotional aspect of the 'love triangle', with extended emotion-filled discussions. Zombie shows are all about suspense and action - we don't need a love story messing up the formula, thanks.

they have a shit load of time to fill. don't expect shooting and running all the time. i suspect the story is going to be more involved than what you normally get in a zombie movie.

assuming each episode is 40 minutes, they have over 3 hours to fill this season and almost 9 hours to fill in season 2. including both seasons, you are looking at 13 hours of actual show time.

Understood. I just hope the filler isn't as badly scripted or drawn-out as that 'light switch' conversation at the start of episode 1.
All said, for that to be my only complaint about a tv series is pretty impressive

hopefully your complaint doesn't happen. i was a little confused at the begining, but it seems they were just trying to set the show up. we'll see in the coming weeks.

Plot wise (from the comic), it's just as much about the 'survivors' and how they react to the breakdown in society. Are you the same person, do you have the same moral compass, etc. Things that were acceptable previously may not be acceptable now, and vice versa. That being said, you'll get your fill of running and shooting (among other ways of dispatching Zombies) for sure.

Could be... Zombie isn't normally my genre. I think the way it's gotten handled in the book is pretty interesting and brings a human element to it that I wouldn't have expected.
