Attention zombie lovers - you've come to the right page! The Walking Dead may come across as your everyday zombie thriller/apocalypse scenario where the last survivors find each other and cling on for dear life with their arms full of artillery and their eyes full of crazy; but there's a lot more depth to it. The series main character Rick Grimes wakes up in hospital after being shot while working as a policeman, and finds that millions of people have died and almost as many have turned into zombies. Of course, his family is gone, and he sets out to find them, encountering a rag-tag bunch of survivors who rescue him from the clutches of the zombie-overrun metropolitan city of Atlanta. The emotional depth displayed throughout by some of the main characters, and the award winning costuming and make-up, combine to make this the most-watched drama series aired on America basic cable to date. The series is an adaption of Robert Kirkman's successful Walking Dead comics.
