Although this was a partly thrilling thriller, i was still bothered by a number of things.
1) the 2-D characters, obviously cliché, and typical family story line of the broken family becoming stronger thanks to a zombie apocalypse.
2) Acting by the young leads was as wooden as the spoon I used to make my scrambled eggs this morning. I'm not expecting Marlon Brando or Tom Hanks, but maybe place acting over appearance in the job description?
3) no likable characters, the main female lead was probably the best, but other than that I had no desire for anyone to survive. Not like Rick and Morgan in the pilot of the 'Walking Dead'.
4) Predictable as well, which is okay for this type of TV show but doesn't match up the unpredictability and coherency of the writing from that of 'Breaking Bad' and 'the Sopranos'.
5) The intense fan base from 'the Walking Dead' that want to rate this show a 10 just...well because.
Again I'm sure this will be a fun show, but not a great one. Like walking dead it's entertaining and is easy to watch, but I can see this show in particular proving that special effect, attractive actors, and a good old but of action is the priority over clear concise writing and in-depth character development. But hey I hope to be proved wrong as we still have a few weeks left until the finale.
