Storyline

Rick Grimes is a former Sheriff's deputy who has been in a coma for several months after being shot whilst on duty. When he wakes, he discovers that the world has been taken over by Zombies, and that he seems to be the only person still alive. Having returned home to discover his wife and son missing, he heads for Atlanta to search for his family. Narrowly escaping death at the hands of the Zombies on arrival in Atlanta, he is aided by another survivor Glenn who takes Rick to a camp outside the town. There Rick finds his wife Lori and son Carl. Along with his partner and best friend Shane, he founds a small group of survivors who struggle to fend off the zombie hordes, as well as competing with other survivor groups who are prepared to do whatever it takes to survive.

User Reviews

Come on zombies!

The best contemporary zombie thing ever! Enough Resident Evil's like movies with big monsters, hybrid DNAs, lots of crazy acrobatics maneuvers, unlimited ammo, and no "reality", no suspense, no characters, no classic zombies… If you are into some zombie culture with classic roots like George Romero's movies Night of The Living Dead, The Crazies, Dawn of The Dead… or something new like 28 Days Later, I Am Legend… Then you are going to love it.

Finally me fighting zombies day-by-day on my couch… Since Lost I had nothing but comedy series to watch; now finally I have some series to take my TV time for suspense and action…
