Based on one of the most successful and popular comic books of all
time, written by Robert Kirkman,
"The Walking
Dead",
captures the ongoing human drama following a zombie apocalypse. The
series follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick
Grimes, played by Andrew Lincoln (

secure home. However, instead of the zombies, it is the living who
remain that truly become the walking dead. Jon Bernthal (

Pacific, The Ghost Writer) plays Shane
Walsh, Rick's
sheriff's department partner before the apocalypse, and Sarah Wayne
Callies (
Prison Break), is Rick's wife, Lori
Grimes.

Jeffrey DeMunn, Chandler Riggs, Iron E. Singleton and Melissa
McBride. Guest stars include: Lauren Cohan, Scott Wilson and Pruitt
Taylor Vince.
From the desk of
Greg Wilson:
"I just wanted to
share my
thoughts on AMC's series 'The Walking Dead'. The show has a huge
following and I can understand why it is a great show, very
addicting. I missed the 1st season so I'm trying to play catch
up by reading what I can, watching clips and what friends are telling
me. It's not hard to know what's going on....basically the world is full
of zombies and, of course, a group of
people just
trying to survive.
There are back
stories but
I've been able to figure them out from watching the flashbacks
that happen during the show. The special effects dept. for the show is
awesome and they hold nothing back, each episode is like watching a
movie. There is also a live program that airs after just to talk
about the latest episode.
