It seems AMC are developing a companion series to their incredibly popular zombie drama show that will introduce new characters, and won't be "tethered by the events of the comic book". Read on for the press release in full..
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Brigands: The Quest For Gold Review: The Italian drama follows a group of brigands, embarking on a journey to reclaim power and some hidden gold.
Dinner with the Parents Review: It's a family comedy series following the Langers, who often turn their family dinners into a disruptively chaotic affair.
The Walking Dead is a novelty. The plots are paper thin (actually paper is heavier) and in terms of "all dressed up and nowhere to go?" this show has that in spades, usually spending half a season to deal with the simplest issues.
I know zombies are all the rage, but compare World War Z to this show. In World War Z, you immediately understood that this was a world wide epidemic and the folks that are left are trying to take back what is left of the planet.
These characters in The Walking Dead just want to roam around looking for food and shelter. If I was them, I'd try and find some scientist and try and do what I can to reclaim what was lost.
Entire season in a farm? At times it feels and seems that the writers are trying to come up with things for the characters to do.
In 4 seasons the slightest of character arcs has taken place. One of the most drastic was eliminated in farmville, aka season 2.
Lets see what these guys are gonna do with even more zombies shambling around.
The need to fix the writing in TWD before they start making spinoffs. Breaking Bad says hello.
I'm excited for this, but I hope it falls into the gap of the normal show instead of replacing it. It kinda sucks have so few episodes with a break in the middle, then sitting there all summer waiting for more.
I'd gladly watch a new group if its to add to this. Kinda like a B team thing, plus Kirkman can be more creative since he isn't tied to the comics. If the first season is anything like the first season of TWD, it'll be amazing!
I'm tentatively optimistic about this. The show has been hit or miss for me as of late, although I thought it ended pretty strongly last season.
I thought TWD lost it's way. Most of last season was just a lead up to the final battle, week after week nothing happened, laziness on the part of the writers.
