    Lost interest in the second series, had so much potential but was just going round in circles

    Each to there own.

    But have to say that I found this one of the best things on TV ever.

    Totally agree, down to personal preference. Think I had too high hopes for second

    2nd series suffered from budget cuts and quarrels between frank dabaront and the producers, still enjoyed it but could do with picking up the pace a bit in series 3

    Completely agree that this is one of the best things I have ever seen on the box. Absolutely quality casting

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShQz68Zkb3Y - If anyone can look me in the eye and tell me that does not look amazing I will eat my foot ... luckily i'm too far Norf for someone to do that but I am so pumped for the new series!

    I thought the second season started OK, dipped in the middle then ended on a massive high. It looks like they're heading towards being in line with the graphic novels in this 3rd season which I can tell you, will be explosive.

    Rick's good - though a bit of a poor man's Viggo Mortensen. Thought Shane was fantastic, and the bloke who used to be married to Helena Christensen (can't remember his name - the redneck) is superb. I can take or leave the main female lead, but Laurie Holden is badass - like she is in everything - and if Rooker is really back for all of S3, that will put the icing on the cake. I've seen him in some real shit over the years, but I'll never forget his performance in Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer, and when he's good in something, he is absolutely on fire.

    I can't effing stand her and her character spoils the show a bit for me. The pregnancy storyline is a bit tired as well imo. It's a great show overall though.

    Season 3 episode 1 premiers here in an hour - 7 pm believe it or not... no watershed out here!

    I'll let you all know if it's any good, but it should be available for download pretty soon after.

    Well all I can say is if you found the last series too slow paced, you shouldn't have any issues with the first episode of series 3. 'Kin awesome.

    Bit sad really, wishing your life away to watch a TV programme.

    This is something I'd not heard about until recently and is on my 'to watch' list...........

    Definately worth starting from series 1 to build up the storyline.

    Plus it won't take long as series 1 was only six episodes and then twelve in series 2.

    If you like zombie type stuff I think you'll love it.

    It's not a blood fest but has some great twists and turns and make you jump moments.

    I'll definitely watch it, but the second series went round in circles.

    Read a review at the weekend that says more zombies killed in this first episode than the whole of series 2 put together! I'm really looking forward to it, even though s2 was a bit slow in places.

    Me too. Very annoying woman.

    The little boy grates me aswell. He is living in a zombie apocalypse, Rick needs to keep him in check with a few back hands.

    Red neck is the best character.

    Watched the first episode online, really good , so much more action, however the axe scene at the end where he cut off Hershey's leg was really gory

    All I'm saying is... he is NOT like that in the comics. At all.

    Have you seen the computer game regarding the story of the walking dead? I've heard that is alot like the comics.

    Computer game? You mean the point and click one available on xbox 360 marketplace/psn? It's not very much like the comics really mate, completely different story. It is however a very very good game, being a point and click might put some people off but it is properly good, you care a lot about the characters and the decisions you have to make are difficult at time, it affects how the story progresses as well which adds an extra twist. You get a good chunk of gameplay for how much it costs as well.
