I have been wanting to write a blog about this show for quite awhile but never got around to it. Over a year ago, I was told the show was available on Netflix to watch so I figured, what the heck? So, I curled up on the couch and started season 1 and after about 10 minutes, I wanted to turn it off. Why? You might ask. Well, the answer is simple, it is fake. Duh, right? When I say fake, I don't mean the obvious part that it is a show but the story line. But, my friend told me to keep watching and I would not be disappointed because it was going to "get good". In my opinion, that was when I stopped believing him.
The hours passed and I continued to force myself to watch the entire first season, I even watched about four or five episodes into season two. As the first season went on all I could think is WTF am I watching and not in a good way. I never understood the story line. Still don't.
Here are my issues with this show.
Why did the zombies move slowly in the beginning but by the end of season one and almost all of season two…they somehow run now? When and WHY did this happen?
Why is their blood red?
How did all of them get the strength to get up once they were bit, died, and then came back undead?
While in the underground lab…the scientist clearly states that the frontal lobe has been destroyed. Well, I have a degree in psychology and IF that were true in their storyline…their movement would be compromised. For those who do not understand that…the walkers would not be able to move much if at all and they sure as hell would NOT be able to lift their body in any way. Meaning reaching for people, stepping onto an RV (HORRIBLE scene), or anything of that nature. It would not be possible.
In season two…a few "walkers" in the woods actually jump…clearly showing they are actors. WTF?
How is it that they would hide under cars and the walkers just walked around them. Yet, when in a house or something, they can "smell" or "hear" the living. Doesn't make any sense.
Those are just SOME of the issues I have with this show…which is why I completely stopped watching it for over a year until my husband decided he wanted to try it out so I figured I would give it another shot. And while watching it with him, he was asking the questions I had been asking myself in the past. So, I know it's not just me not enjoying the show or "having a lack of imagination"…thats the issue for me….there is no imagination. I cannot watch a show that does not answer it's own questions that are so obvious.
Obviously most people who watch and enjoy the show are those who really love zombies and I can understand that. However, anyone who is a FAN of zombies will know that this show is just embarrassing.
Now, the characters are interesting KIND OF. I have a huge problem with the wife and I think she is a whore. Regardless if she thought her husband was dead or not, she could have waited more than a month to start fucking (excuse the langauge) her husband's best friend. The best friend is a douche bag would lied to get at the wife and he is a killer. To be honest, the rest of the characters are expendable.
If you have seen the show, feel free to try and argue with me or say I am wrong, etc. I realize the show is for entertainment purposes….go figure. And in someways, it is entertaining. However, for a show that is meant to be happening now and be realistic….they should have realized how stupid the writing is. OR…..the writers are thinking that people are stupid and wouldn't notice these things. Either way, it's sad because had they thought more about the simple things, this show could have been really really good.
