Anyone else here excited about The Walking Dead? I've been reading the comic since 2004 and it's finally being turned into a TV series that due out in the US in October(I hope in AU as well).

It's about a small town cop who wakes up out a coma and discovers that the world has been overrun with zombies, then he makes his way to Atlanta to find his wife & kid.

TWD is the best zombie comic ever made, it's well written, it's got good character development, blood/gore, guns...etc

Why has no one continued conversation on this brilliant show?

Where to start...great acting, interesting characters, BRILLIANT make-up and engaging plot/story. Although, I will admit, the beginning did feel like a complete rip-off 28 Days Later, but as the episode unfolded I found myself completely blown away. Can't wait for the next episode.

A foxtel channel should pick it up, probably Showcase.

Anyway, watched the first 3 episodes yesterday. Quite awesome!

It's a shame that Showcase hasn't picked up this series yet, as I would like to see it before the Australian DVD release. The S1 dvd is due March 2012. Is this worth getting?

Season 1 was fantastic, but to be honest Season 2 killed all interest for me.

Yeah Season 2 dragggged on. But the end of the last episode although I knew it was coming was pretty emotional.

Is season 2 finished yet? I loved the first one and I've been itching to track down the second one in complete form once it's finished being aired.

Got the S1 DVD from Amazon. Saw the first two episodes, and so far doesn't explain how it got started. The cop who comes out of the coma just 'accepts' the situation w/o questioning? Is that how the comics are set out?
The makeup effects look great. eg. the little girl at the start of episode 1, and the crawling zombie in the park. The sound effects are likewise.

Well, I just finished seeing all six episodes of S1. Very well made zombie-survival drama - very character driven rather than action orientated. The production value is excellent - the zombie makeup and visual effects, sound effects, and use of music. Lighting and camera-work is also very well done.
All leading actors are very good. Didn't know Andrew Lincoln is British.
In the end, I wanted more episodes, but why only six episodes? Was there a writer's strike?
For Foxtel subscribers, this series is getting shown on the new FX channel from 26 Feb. Not sure what package the FX channel is being put in, but 'platinum' subs would get it - all others have to wait-n-see.

The HD channel will be available as part of Foxtel's basic package

OK my mistake. As it's a HD channel, I would presume that only subs with the HD box can access it.
