I always refer to the show as the 'Walking Drama' to my friends. I am kind of obsessive about the drama in all modern film, characters making irrational decisions in a given situation, but I find the walking dead to be a step above the rest most of the time lol. I don't mind if you feel differently, but the show actually gives me such anxiety that I have to stop watching an episode for a while, sometimes pausing the show several times to come back to it later because I can't take it seriously. I just feel that most of how the characters behave are completely unrealistic to what would happen in an actual apocalypse, but such is hollywood.
I do appreciate the show and think the first couple seasons were really great. The zombies are absolutely spectacular, basically the sole reason I watch it, to see zombie action, see who gets bit, watching people turn, etc. The whole business with the Governor really irked me, way too much drama around one character and I just found it totally unrealistic. Funny to say unrealistic in a science fiction TV show, but I've seen every zombie movie over the past 15 years, some I find more believable than others. I am a tough critic of every show/movie I see nowadays though.
