The Walking dead

[Doctor Crawley]

I never thought I would be a fan of a zombie based series....ever.
I hadn't watched a single minute of a single episode until mid February, when my misses at last managed to persuade me to give it a go.
I've now watched all 7 series in around 12 weeks.Having a bit of time off work helped.

Possibly the most compelling thing I've ever watched.
Fit birds in it too.

Negan to Sasha "You must have some beach ball size lady nuts" is possibly one of the best sentences ever.

Negan had loads of good lines.

 

[Triggaaar]

Fit birds in it too.

Oh yes.

Been doing the same just started series 4 love it

 

[Doctor Crawley]

Stay with it matbha.
Like others have said, there are some episodes where it goes backwards a little, but it really is all worth the watch...
It's a shame you're reading this thread, as it clearly gives away a few of the plots.
But plots they are.
Incredible really how the zombies become second fiddle and the story/characters come to the fore in their own way.
Just wait until you meet Negan.
Nutter.

When do we expect Series 8?

When do we expect Series 8?

October I believe.

 

[227 BHA]

I'm up to season six episode 15 -
Have watched with my son over the last 8 or 9 months so only managed 2 or 3 episodes a week when we've both been home at the same time. The plan was to make sure we caught up before season 8 which we should easily manage now.
Looking forward to the next 2 episodes that will watch this week (although I have seen the spoiler re Glen)
Can't wait to meet Negan and see how season 7 pans out in full

 

[Southern Scouse]

I own very few boxsets.
GOT, Blackadder, Battlestar Galactica, Band of Brothers and WD.
So far don't need anything else.

Any fans of TWD should do themselves a favour and watch Train to Busan.

Superbly executed zombie film with genuine emotional heft.

Is that a subtitled movie?

 

[MattBackHome]

Is that a subtitled movie?

Yeah. I loved it.

 

[RandyWanger]

I started watching this when it first came out years ago! Think life got in the way but have recently started catching up watching the included in prime option on Amazon. On Season 6 now, love it. Looking forward to the train home to watch another episode.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Yeah. I loved it.

Did you also see Wyrmwood? Brilliant low budget mad max-esque with a bit of a spin on the zombie genre.

Ah, no, but I was put onto it recently having seen a clip of the forthcoming Wyrmwood tv series. I'll definitely give it a go.

There's also an animated prequel to Train to Busan that I'm yet to get round to watching.

 

[El Presidente]

I found TWD initially enjoyable, but now it seems formulaic and uses violence as a substitute for meaningful dialogue and character development.

The show also seems to tread water at times whilst we have 2-3 episodes about a back story of tenuous link to the main plot.

I watch it only when there's nothing else on my main list, but as House of Cards is back tonight, that will take priority.

That seems fair enough.

What? Great British series, excellent first US series, but once the story had been told (cunning whip rises to power), it's just a bit crap.

I enjoy the US version too. Lacks a bit of subtlety at times, but Macbethian in places.

I loved the first series of the US version, but now all of the characters are bad people I don't care about, so there's no one to root for, and the story is forced.

 

[The_Viper]

Yeah. I loved it.

Thought so, that and [REC] are on my list of things to watch without the Mrs because she doesn't do subtitles the savage.
