Title: Great Adapation of The Walking Dead comics
Review: As a huge The Walking Dead comic fan, I was cautiously excited to hear AMC/Frank Darabont were producing this as a television series. Even with AMC's record of producing high quality series & Darabont's previous works, I still worried because adapations almost never meet the calibre of the source material. Thank goodness my worries were for nothing.The first season compromises of six episodes with the first one strong enough to be released on its own as a standalone movie. Some fans of the comic didn't like some of the changes made to the characters/plot but I think these changes didn't detract from the series at all.The episodes are well written and boast a strong cast. Viewers who normally shy away from horror/zombie films shouldn't stay away from this. Yes, there is some gore (and of course zombies!) but the story is really about the human relationships in the time of utter devestation. The zombies are merely a prop used to move the story along.
Is the review positive or negative?
