OK fine. I was wrong. WRONG WRONG WRONG.
On the advice of a friend whose opinion I value, I bought the first season of The Walking Dead. Then I bought seasons 2 and 3. Then I bought season 4 an episode at a time until I got to episode 11, which was still playing on free on demand. Then I watched the last two eps on TV like normal folk.
It's rather soap opera-ish. I like that it's not all about the zombies, and running from zombies. Zombies aren't carrying on love affairs or fooling the pretty girls with their beautiful selves. You know a 'walker' when you see one, you don't have to be all 'OMG that walker is SO cute why does he have to be a bad walker?'
I got all caught up in the characters. And the underlying apocalyptic 'good vs evil' theme...well, there's nothing new under the sun but this is a nice spin on that concept.
I love Rick. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Daryl. I love Michonne. I grew to love Carol. Carl is about the cutest kid on earth. It's just fun!
On the advice of another person whose opinion I typically agree with, I got the first season of Justified. I'm just not getting into it. I may try again. I wasn't in the right frame of mind when I started watching Breaking Bad and got seriously hooked on that later.
Meanwhile I'm waiting for the final season of Mad Men to start.
