I really enjoyed it. Getting to see how all the chaos happens when it all went to shit is really cool. I liked that they used the IPhone 4 instead of new phones. lol [Reply]

I think there's a good chance. I don't know that I like the character but I think the kid can act.
And I don't remember her name but I've always liked the "mom" as an actress. I could see TWD writers making her the Sara Connor/Rick of this series... [Reply]

It's normal America. What else do you want? [Reply]
It really bored the shit out of me, honestly. Not sure if I continue with the series. It is only 6 episodes long though, so one would think the shit has to pick up fairly soon in order to generate any type of interest for a second season.
It started off great, and then it just fucking ground to a mind numbing crawl, with literally zero payoff at the end of the episode. [Reply]
I get the feeling that they're planning on developing the characters and storylines much slower than TWD. I'm not sure if I'll like that or not, but it will be interesting to see. [Reply]
Well, they have me for 6 episodes. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it. Not sure what that even means. I'm really looking forward to the premier of TWD in October, so maybe I'm just watching this shit because I'm jonesing...kinda like pre-season Chiefs football.
I'll give it a chance, it's not horrible. And yeah, I really hope they explain the damn virus... [Reply]
It was no where NEAR the awesomeness of TWD Pilot, but this should develop into some action over the next couple of episodes.
I had to keep telling myself that it was slow because the infection was just starting. However, I would have liked more foreboding signs and less family in-fighting.
ETA: I kind of had a case of blue balls when it was over though. It was like "I have to wait another week for something to happen?" [Reply]

I'm never going to understand a view like this.
You HAVE to know that this first episode is as slow and anti climactic as the show is going to get right?
The epidemic is just starting, soon, hell breaks loose. [Reply]
