Review

Today I will be reviewing the Walking Dead TV series, which is based on a series of graphic novels. It's about a man who wakes up in hospital to discover that there has been an outbreak of zombies. The first couple of episodes deal with him searching for his family and coming to terms with the reality of what's happened. I felt the action was well-paced and didn't drag, and the characters weren't over the top. The story line stayed on track, and stayed with the characters. My overall judgement is that it is very tense, with good acting and effective special effects. A good example of this is when two characters leave a safe spot to hijack a van and had to go through a street full of zombies. They covered themselves in a zombie's blood to hide their own smell, but then it started to rain which washed the blood off them and they had to run down the street and climb over a fence to escape. This scene also showed the humanity of the characters, as before they cut up the zombie they looked in his wallet to find out what he had been called. The acting was very good, and I cared for their safety.
