For the most part I'm not a big zombie fan, although I do really enjoy the 28 Days/Weeks Later movies. I really enjoyed the show last night, I think the important distinction for me, is when a movie or (show in this case) uses the zombie/apocalypse setting to make social commentary instead of just mindless thrills. I thought the acting was solid, especially from the main character. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the season, although I wish there were more than just 5 more episodes in the first season. Oh well, its ratings last night were great for AMC, more than doubling what Mad Men and Breaking Bad usually get (AMC's two previous biggest profile shows), so I'm sure there will still be plenty of episodes to come.
