Not your typical zombie story, the Walking Dead on AMC exceeded my expectations. Not only did it capture the essence of the comic book, they didn't skimp out on special effects, which is demonstrated very well with Frank Grimes' first encounter with the undead. What makes the Walking Dead unique is that it's not a over-the-top horror show nor is it a show heavily weighed down by pure survival and hoarding all available weapons. Rather, it's a story about people, the human condition and really dealing with the loss of loved one's. Imagine seeing your wife or husband aimlessly walking around undead. Could you really take a chainsaw to their head? The Walking Dead is off to a great start, I look forward to seeing more episodes.
