Television show review

This week we are asked to review a book, as I only ever read one book in my life I think its better I review something else.  As you can see from the title of this post this a TV-show review and I will review The Walking Dead.



The Walking Dead is a television series which was first aired in October 2010 on the AMC network.  It is based on the comic book series the walking dead.  It is set in modern day Atlanta, Georgia and set around the main character Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) who is a sheriff.  
Recovering from a bullet wound after a shootout with criminals, he wakes from the coma and realises he had been there alone for some time, the flowers at the side of his bed are dried out and almost dead, the clock on the wall has stopped working and when he gets out of the bed he finds there is nobody else in the hospital, alive that is.

He realises pretty quickly he is in a zombie apocalypse and goes about searching for his family.  The series continues to test the abilities of his survival as he meets more people along the way.  There is some nail biting moments as each season the group loses some members while gaining more.

I never read the comics and wont either, I presume it tells the whole story or more importantly an ending.  Another reason not to read the comic at this stage but I can only imagine the series ending in one of two ways.  A cure to the epidemic or possible they all die.  Looking forward to finding out.

Thanks for reading.
