Anyone else getting into this - the TV series I mean, not the graphic novel.

Have torrented the first 2 episodes - and am totally hooked.

Characters are great - Rick Grimes reminds me of Jesse from 'Preacher' - still one of the finest pieces of comic book writing I've indulged in.

Zombies, high quality direction and cinematography, believable characters, zombies.

Did I mention the zombies?

Really, really liking it - first season is only 6 episodes, but 2nd season has already been signed up for 13 episodes.

I've heard many good things about this. And now some more. Thanks!

I'm getting into it, but see the short-comings. The episode 2 'gearing up' was just ridiculous and riddled with inconsistencies.

Yeah, I completely agree. But doesn't it always work like that with television mini-series, or soap opera type programs??? Ya know, kinda like marketing or something. I have feeling the 3rd will be a little more exciting as well as the 4th, then they'll throw in a lame episode just take up space and, then a good one, then a sucky one. Ya know what I mean????

It's got zombies.

On television.

Proper zombies - not BBC style Dr Who circa 1970s zombies.

Of course it'll have inconsistencies - it's about zombies.

Anyway - I'm keenly awaiting the next 4 episodes in season 1.

I have read a fair bit of the comics series, so I'm definitely gonna check this out.

O.K. yeah, 3rd installment was fun. I'm so on this "Dynasty: The Real Story" soap opera.
