I loved the series. I even started on the comics. I’m about halfway through the comic series and while the show followed the comics faithfully (almost shot for shot) initially, it quickly deviated. I’ve no idea if the disease control centre bits are even in the comics. Will have to keep reading :)

I agree this series had excellent production, good actors, it even managed to pull off a pretty good start, i dont know why ppl think of Lost when talking about this really, it reminds me a lot more of Jericho

**spoilers**

i really liked the first two chapters but then… not so much, a little later it hit me, these ppl have no objective, nothing to live for, yeah the main dude might have something to do but the rest are just there waiting, they just emo all day, dont come off like they want to live at all, in Jericho everyone was trying to put the town together and there was always something to do, not so much here, once they are done with the city they sort of move on because “oh well, we *might* be better at the CDC” … thats so weak

the worst was the final chapter, i wasnt expecting much of an explanation (in fact i rather the zombie apocalypse thing remind at least partially in mystery) but i was expecting some new info, something they can bet their lifes on to keep going for the second season, a hope, an important discovery, anything… nope, instead they get “we are toast, we are dead, give up, our time on earth is gone, say goodbye, lets die together, boom”, thats… maybe realistic …but its BOORING…

i might try the second season but theyll have to come up with something more, these “side stories” and “wandering around” plot is not going to cut it

also, wtf is up with the adultery, they invest waaaaaaaay too much time in that stupid side story, i think zombies are on screen less time than the stupid adultery thing, it feels so out of place, i refuse to believe in that situation a mother would leave her kid out of her sight to go screw in the bushes and giggle like an idiot, they are not in any fortress, they have as much defense as your average park (proven when they get attacked effortlessly later), wtf does she feel safe enough to do that ? specially when they know zombies sometimes wander in the forest because the city is running out of food.. wtf!?

I’m glad you liked the first season. I hope the future seasons don’t drop off like so many other shows – The Office, Lost, Heroes, etc. First season is good, second is ok, third is weak, and nothing thereafter is worth watching.

Personally, I didn’t like it. While the premise is in fact interesting, including exploring the characters over exploding zombie heads, it requires excellent dialog and good actors, which I find are lacking in this series.

On the other hand, I found that same thing about Lost, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

I should look out for more series, but it’s though here in Portugal. TV networks don’t air all of them and even when they do, they often only air the first season. And Hulu/Netflix are also not available, nor is any similar service.
And I’m not buying full season DVDs with my meager “entertainment money” if I’m not sure I like it.
