Season 1 Review: In the first half of director-screenwriter Frank Darabont's impeccable pilot episode for AMC's new adaptation, you feel the weight of time passing in ways that Kirkman always struggles with. To say that Darabont has kicked his series off with a bang would be a serious understatement. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If The Walking Dead can build on its promise and run with these ideas, along with unflinching gross-out thrills, it can tell a doomsday story with all the things zombies crave: brains, guts and heart. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Tactical wins, taut storytelling and zombies munching tasty, tasty braaaaains: All that plus the addition of Michonne and David Morrissey as the Governor in upcoming episodes make me pretty damned happy that The Walking Dead is back. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Taken as a fright fest, pure and simple, Dead succeeds admirably well, capturing the terror and confusion of waking up in a world where you've gone from person to endangered-species zombie food overnight. Read full review

Season 7 Review: It was miserable, and tedious, and made me feel bad. Not in an emotionally compelling way, just in a “I could be watching something of value” way. Read full review

This series is so good I remember hearing my friends parents talking about this show when I was like 11 or 12 (too young to watch ) and then when I was a little older I started watching it and Oh my god its exciting it's gory its funny its great for anyone who loves zombies and the characters such as Michonne, Daryl, Rick Herschell, Maggie, Glen, Negam, Abraham, Rosita are just some of my favourite characters obviously some of them aren't on the show anymore but when they were they were great Great show !!!!!… Expand

The Walking Dead never ceases to be entertaining, even during the inevitable "filler" moments, when you think your attention to TWD is wavering, it'll shock you and reel you back in! Must watch.
