Yah or Nay of the Day goes like this… I tell you if I did or didn’t like a movie I’ve recently watched and why .. I guess you could call them mini reviews.

The Walking Dead Season One (2010)
Created by: Frank Darabont
Genera: Television series
Plot
After being shot in the line of duty, Sheriff Rick Grimes wakes up in the hospital only to find himself alone and surrounded by zombies. It becomes apparent something happened during his coma that is causing the un-buried dead to come back to life and eat the flesh of the living (I know you’ve heard that one before). Rick quickly reunites with his family (wife and son), his former police partner and introduced to a group of survivors that’s been surviving on the outskirts of the city.
Sheriff Grimes soon faces more problems besides zombies when he finds out his former partner is banging his wife and playing father to his son. Also there is mounting personality conflicts amongst the group of survivors that’s leading toward violence.
The tension between the members of the group, Rick’s domestic problems, lack of food, rival groups of survivors and the occasional surprise zombie attacks make up most of season one of The Walking Dead.
Verdict
I will give The Walking Dead season one a big bandwagon jumping Yah and here’s why…
I’m a big fan of The Walking Dead comic book series (by Image comics) and expected the AMC series wouldn’t be nearly as good as it turned out to be. Of course there are a few differences between the TV series and the comic book, yet it didn’t matter to me. The characters were likable enough that I wanted to know what would happen to then next. I especially enjoyed the spot on similarities between the zombies in the comic book and the TV series. I have to give AMC credit for allowing the pull no punches rated R violence that’s necessary for this type of series.
I am looking forward to see what happens in the upcoming thirteen episode season two of The Walking Dead. It should be equally as good if not better than season one if continues to follow the comic book’s storyline.
