Summary

AMC’s post-apocalyptic zombie thriller series The Walking Dead has shattered ratings records and made an indelible mark on pop culture surely even the showrunners themselves couldn’t have foreseen when the show exploded on the network this time last year. Its mere six episodes drew in a staggering audience, whose appetite for more survivalist adventures of the motley cast of characters seems as insatiable as the zombies’ own lust for human flesh. Robert Kirkman’s ongoing series of graphic novels provides source material with an undeniable cult following and indie cred, but the overwhelming success of the show has eclipsed such underground recognition and made The Walking Dead a bona fide household name. from http://poptimal.com/2011/10/the-walking-dead-review-keeping-the-faith/
