I have also watched "The Walking Dead" season 2 on the FX channel which is directed by Shawshank Redemption director Frank Darabont.
Darabont had nothing to do with Season 2 even though his name is still in the credits. He walked out after a row about production costs and delays.
Walking dead best series on tele by far
Agree.
And disagree with La Lucha. It is all the better for not having more zombies in my opinion and the series continuing this drip-feed effect. This all cranks up the tension as we all await the inevitable and it also aids to propel the disintergration aspect of the society and relationships within the group as it all unravels before your very eyes and they helplessly wait for the next attack and encounter.
This all creates a pressure cooker effect for the piece and when things do eventually come to any sort of climax it has all be simmering and brewing for so long that that climax is all the more powerful and stunning as a result. The Sophia thing was beautifully realised and played out.
At the end of the day, it isn't about the zombies, it is about the humans and how they cope, interract and deal with issues of morality and try to re-build a broken society. The Walking Dead of the title actually refers to the human survivors of the story and not the zombies.
I like it just the way it is. The more zombies, the more formulaic it would all become and it would all lose steam really quickly and become dull and repetitive. This show is all about the slow-burn and all the better for it.
You can almost smell the sweat and tension.
Spot on Otis,a lot of people say more zombies but how I see it is as a more realistic view on how it would be if this were to happen.I like it just the way it is. The more zombies, the more formulaic it would all become and it would all lose steam really quickly and become dull and repetitive. This show is all about the slow-burn and all the better for it

Exactly, I liked how they played out the whole Sophia angle and a lot really didnt think she would come wandering out of the barn. My favourite part of that was the build up with Shane and some others wanting to take them out and not agreeinmg with Ricks methods yet not one of them could finish the job.
Got a couple of episodes left too watch but its probably the only "current" show which really sucks me in while watching, something I have not had since LOST and 24.
I also watch the Mentalist pretty formulaic but enjoyable none the less,suffered slightly with network intervention at the end of the last series and the start of this one but its getting back on track.
Grimm is a decent watch wint be everyones cup of tea and its along the lines of Buffy and Angel so I would imagine that would turn some people off straight away.
Alcatraz, enjoyed the 1st 2 episodes, got 2 more to watch but not got its teeth into me yet, very similar to Lost in terms of the way its shot and incidental music, so I am 1/2 expecting them to end up shifting the Rock.....
Touch, very good so far very clever idea enjoying it lots.
American Horror, got 3 episodes left, enjoyed it, not sure how far they can take it, the younger version of the maid is pure filth!!
Also trying to catch up with Fringe, just watched the 1st series and cant understand why I didnt watch it from its time of release. Really enjoying it and Anna Torv has something about her.
I watched it on here. http://watch-the-walking-dead-online.com/
And disagree with La Lucha.
Hmmmm, Scottie ...... are you me?:wave::wave:
Loved Lost and 24 and really like Fringe and also feel there is something about Anna Torv and I also enjoyed American Horror too!
Do you like Dexter?
Or should I just ask myself that question?
Homeland for me. Enjoyed it so much I skipped ahead of Channel 4 and watched the rest of the series in one go online.
I'm glad you disagree with La Lucha.
Don't get me wrong I did really enjoy the series, it definitely got allot better towards the end and according to the novels things really start picking up season 3 with two very good characters in "The governor" and Michonne
Michonne has got dark swagger.
We also see a few characters return.
I also heard about some characters returning, Daryls brother is making a return the the shopping mall scene in season 1, The guy that saves Rick in episode 1 is also making a return. Should be intresting to see how things pan out in the high security prison which there going to fortify and apparently be in there for at least 2 seasons.
According to the comics too, Carl becomes some full on badass. I don't like him as a character in series 2 though. He was quite annoying.
He doesn't seem like the kind of character who would become a bad ass and I agree he is an annoying character.
I also dislike Lori, and hated the way she reacted about the Rick & Shane incident, I hope a walker gets hold of her soon. :jerkit:
Cant stand most of the american stuff at all
Would say that Lori is the one character I don't like in WD and I do find her annoying. Can't help but feel little sympathy for her character. She brings no empathy to the role at all.
