The Walking Dead: Season 1 (Blu-ray)

The best part of The Walking Dead is; you don't need to love Zombies or Sci-fiction.
To be warned: From the very first minute to the last second of season 1 you feel the gravited motion of being glued to an addictive Series.
The most memorable moment for me is the city scene (without giving anything away) if you've watched the series front to back you'll know how terminal it would be to ride into a largely populated city during an apocolypse. Just saying.Great Show - nplusz
As always AMC has created a great show. This first season is great with great action and goar and also a great story with some heart. These dics are great including all the episodes and some great extra features including a making of which is quite interesting. I would definatley recommend that anybody watch this show.THe Walking Dead: Do not miss this series - ShowBill1
The series is outstanding! Fans of the horror or “Zombie” type films will absolutely love this, but so will almost everyone else! The director is Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption) and he does a terrific job on this series, which was based on the graphic novels of the same title.
I just finished the Blu-ray set and can report that this is much improved over the TV quality. The film was shot in 16mm so the blu-ray is a little grainy.(this is intentional and effective). The colors are excellent! The sound track is outstanding with lossless TrueHD.
Our (initial) lead character (a deputy sheriff) wakes from a coma, and finds the world in ultimate turmoil. There are countless abandoned and wrecked vehicles and military equipment everywhere in sight. There are covered bodies stacked everywhere. Buildings are empty; or are they? His sets out to find his wife and son. He soon discovers he is not alone and there are monsters (Zombies) everywhere. Along the way he meets up with some of the other (very few) survivors and they make their way towards the nearest large (safer?) city, Atlanta. That’s all I will reveal, but ahead lie action, drama and suspense that will thrill and entertain you.
This is not just another apocalyptic zombie drama! The gore and effects are top notch to satisfy all horror fans.There are many incredibly graphic scenes. There is: however, a lot more emphasis on the characters than we get in a typical “Grind house” zombie film. We get to get care a lot more for these characters. This is a story about human survival, under the worst possible scenario. I found myself caring about the individuals and couldn’t help wondering, “What would I (we) do in this situation?”
This is an exiting, well-done, well acted, suspense filled drama series that I am sure you will enjoy. There are only six episodes in Season 1 and it will leave you wanting more. A very strong 4 ½ Stars...HIGHLY recomended!
