Forsaken Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I haven't watched any seasons. Should I bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) season 1 is pretty good season 2 drags on for way too long but if you watch about half of the episodes it's bearable season 3 was pretty good, but again, some of it dragged on way too long and the finale was underwhelming basically you just need to accept that after 3 episodes it shifts from "zombie horror" to "badly acted melodrama with one token zombie scene per episode".

Bobbo Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I was always curious about this show. I hear it gets like 10-13 million viewers a week which is insane for cable. Always wondered why people acted like this was the best thing since sliced bread, but never had enough incentive to catch up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsaken Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I've always questioned the people that thought the show was better than Breaking Bad.... guess i'll try and find out. I think S1 and 2 are on netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think S1 and 2 are on netflix. Last I knew, they were. I watched season one, didn't like it enough to watch the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Never got the hype around this show. My girlfriend was a fan for the first 2 seasons then quit watching it... From what I saw, it was garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think S1 and 2 are on netflix. So is S3. It isn't better than BB but it's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think S1 and 2 are on netflix. It's not a great show, let alone better than BB, it is often wildly entertaining though. As long as the premise works for you (ZOMBIES!!!), you're fine. Just don't expect internal logic, good writing, character development etc. Edited October 14, 2013 by Angelica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Not as bad as falling skies but difficult to watch. A game of Left 4 Dead is better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 that was the single most pathetic excuse for a major episode of a major TV show that I have EVER seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Was it really that bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Was it really that bad? The production value was lower than a bad episode of Under the Dome. There's a scene involving a roof that had me in tears laughing. Their budget must have dropped by five sixths since S3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevelle Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed that. Everyone on my Facebook is raving about the new episode while I'm sitting there cringing at the CGI. AMC must've spent all their budget on Low Winter Sun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 For a premiere, it was pretty iffy. My frustrations regarding what this show could be with halfway decent writing, vs what it actually is are starting to interfere with my ability to enjoy it on any level. How the hell are the production values so shitty!? It rates its balls off and AMC ponies up nicely enough on Mad Men and Breaking Bad.

Tater Totts Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Bearing in mind up until season 5B of Breaking Bad the Walking Dead was getting viewing figures far higher than the combined BB and MM ratings you would think it's production values would be good.

wasted Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 maybe bad production values don't matter in the zombie apocalypse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I watched the first episode a few years ago and just wasn't feeling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience 4 Axl Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Last night's opener was a little anti-climatic for sure. But judging from the final scene, they are setting things up for future episodes. It looks like it may be the calm before the storm. Hopefully.

bran Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 i just liked how bob stookey is a drunk in the comics and the show, yet he is so picky with his booze in a zombie apocalypse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with calm, I'm just not fine with C-movie level shit. That roof scene felt like Sharknado. i just liked how bob stookey is a drunk in the comics and the show, yet he is so picky with his booze in a zombie apocalypse Who's Bob Stookey? I only know him as "4-Dogg". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) I'll admit though, the disease plotline that they seem to be building towards seems pretty cool. I just hope the Governor gets involved again sooner rather than later. Edited October 14, 2013 by bacardimayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Glow Inc. Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Season 3 was pure shit. It didn't make any sense.I suspect Season 4 will be more or less the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
