The Walking Dead
Posted by Dirk under: television .
As you can see in this picture from one of my bookshelves, I really like the graphic novel version of The Walking Dead. (Not as much as Hellboy, but still, I dig it).
So, when I heard that AMC was going to make a TV show based on this I was pretty excited. This comic seems like prime TV show material. I didn’t see how anybody could fuck it up.
But, in my opinion, AMC did. Their version of The Walking Dead is very disappointing to this particular zombie fan. It has a few glimmers of goodness (Norman Reedus as Daryl is the best part of the show), and I am still watching every episode, but I think AMC is really screwing the pooch on this show so far.
Hopefully the show will gel somehow and start not being annoying sometime soon.
