The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead (season 1-2)

Well, well, I've almost finished season 2 of this series and I must say, I'm very happy with where it has gone.
When season 1 was on it's way I feared for it not being anything like the comics, and I was right, it was and is, nothing like the comics, BUT.. in season 1 as the it came to an end, I'd had to remind myself I was even watching a TV series based off of what I'd been reading, It got appalling, Science Lab? Shane's still alive? So I ditched its existence.
Bit the bullet, a few months along the line, knowing that they'd hired new/better writers for the series, gave it a shot, these 'new writers' definitely know what they are doing, I find myself forgiving them for keeping Shane in the series, The story has jumped a little bit, but it's back on track and a lot more true to the original comics.

Andrew Lincoln is doing a great job on his character Rick, the aim of the comics was to see the development of 'Rick' in the zombie world, and I feel Lincoln IS understanding this, and it'll do him good (if he keeps to it) in future seasons. I regret ever thinking he was the wrong decision.

Anyway, I can't recommend the second season enough and although I wouldn't say 'ignore the first' you gotta see it, otherwise, you won't know what's going on...   

I look forward to Season 3 on OCTOBER 14
Thanks Readers.
