I've had a couple of friends tell me that I should start watching this show. All of whom I respect regarding their taste in TV/Film.... even you. I'll put it next on my list.
It is good. And really fun to watch. Season 3 just started Sunday, so I recommend not putting it on your stack of other things to watch. I just think it's more fun to watch each episode as it actually comes out.
Can't seem to convince "J" that it's something she might like. I'm working on it.
It's like trying to convince someone that they'll love an album. You never really know till you try. I'd start by saying that the zombie apocalypse is just a conduit for an interesting exploration on real human relationships. How we love and treat eachother is really what the show is about. Plus, there's buckets of blood!
