It is no Breaking Bad, but I am in. Beats the shit out of True Detective Season 2, for sure.
 
My son tells me there was a bloodbath in an church where druggies go so I'm going to go check it out at night armed with nothing but a flash light.
 
The pilot was ok. Sort of heavy handed in how they introduce characters and all their own personal issues. I wish I could blame that on it being a pilot but really it's the same people making essentially the same show over again. Should have been better. Not that it's bad because it's not. Just not as well written as I would have thought. That might improve though.
Some annoying coincidences and some really annoying plot holes but again, it's a pilot so I'm willing to see where they go with it all.
I wish the characters weren't all idiots but we get that on TWD, too so...
 
Off to a boring start, in my opinion. And the acting wasn't realistic. "Oh look, our son shot his friend and we hit him twice with a carm and he's still coming. Neat."
 
i do not understand the zombie fixation. ewww.

The show isn't even about Zombies, if it was, it might be (a wary 'might be') good.

These fucking writers have tunnel vision when it comes to 'it's about the characters' they forgot they need some excitement and INTERESTING characters. Give them a divorce, kids that don't like their parents, a drug problem and a hard edge doesn't make the show great.

I was hoping for something more fast paced & adventurous, all I got was a desire never to watch another episode again.

Oh well.
 
I have to watch it tonight but I'm certainly going to give it more than the pilot to be good.
 
I don't even know if it's on in the UK. Scary how close we are to the new season of TWD. Where the fuck did this year go?
 
I watched it technically, but the tv is on the fritz at the moment so everything was extremely dark sho I will give it another watching this week sometime

It's not supposed to be about zombies. Even TWD isn't really about zombies.
I agree that the characters aren't much right now but have to give them a chance beyond one episode to see what they do with them.
This show is supposed to be about the collapse of civilization and how this group of people deals with it. It's something that really isn't explored that much in movies/tv. Books do a better job with it because they can take their time. Most times in video you get a quick collage of everything going to hell and then you're in Mad Max World. This show is supposed to do it more realisitically. We'll see.
