TV Show - The Walking Dead - S02E01

The Walking Dead is TV adaptation of the Comic by the same name Written by Robert Kirkman, the show is developed by Frank Darabont - director of The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption. Andrew Lincoln is the main protagonist, best known probably for teachers the other side of the pond but is here flaunting his american accent.

This season follows the morning after the season 1 finale and the gang get caught out by the radiator and find themselves hiding from what can only be described as a herd of walkers. Rick must save a frightened girl but in the processes loses track of her and so they must track her through the forest.

What sets this show aside from other zombie productions is that they do not try and explain the virus in overly complicated terms that can alienate and they manage to keep the characters acting very realistically in such a scenario so it does not vecome a show about gun fights, that seem to have become a prerequsite from the Resident Evil franchise. A good show, definitely a watch.
