It is an awesome premise, but I thought the acting and storyline were kind of weak. I really like zombie movies too, but it never really grabbed me. I tried to like it too.

I think I'm the only one who thinks the show improved. The first season was so boring I barely made it through it, there was almost zero action and all they did was talk about their feelings and their emotions, it was awful. I was so thrilled when they killed people off because I absolutely couldn't stand almost any of the characters. Andrea should've died in like episode 2 and Shane took way too long to die. I really only kept watching it because I like zombie shit. As the seasons move on there's (usually) more zombie action, more gore, etc. The first few episodes of this last season had almost no dialogue, it was great. I'm sure my love of people is showing right now.
I'll readily admit, though, that the comic and the show are intended by their creators to be more about humans trying to make it in the apocalypse rather than about zombies, so in that aspect I guess they did a great job in the first season, and you guys are probably right in regards to what the creators were going for.

Dude, you're not even watching the same show as the rest of us. The first season had tons of zombies. The second season had maybe a dozen zombies total until the last episode.

It's not my biggest complaint, but it's noteworthy since the show has little else carrying it, and since all the cast are unnaturally pretty evenly bland-looking. By good looking, I don't mean sex symbol status, but someone more than a 50% or so, with some interesting visual appeal. I think Shane had some visual appeal and a unique look, and probably was the only one, imo.

What are you talking about? Except for the first couple of episodes showing Atlanta, the whole first season took place in a campsite full of emotional, whiny bitches. The only zombies they showed were the ones that finally showed up to shut some of those assholes up for us.

The first season had 6 episodes and something like 60 zombie kills. The second season had 19 episodes and about 130 kills...most of which were in the last two episodes.

This last season was a bit slow, but God damn I'm excited for this season.
I mean the basic episode outline:
*finish up the previous episodes mess - 7 minutes (1 commercial) *bore you to death - 47 minutes (7 commercials) *start some crazy shit and leave you with a cliffhanger- 5 minutes (1 commercial)
So I can see where people don't like it very much, but it does the post-apocalyptic zombie thing quite well for an hour long show.

And most of those zombie kills in season 1 were in a few episodes too. Granted, it had some cool scenes like the zombie intestine overcoat, it was the only thing that kept me watching, everything in between was garbage. I didn't say season 2 was good, it still had way way too much dialogue and not enough zombies, the point is in season 1 you have a bunch of bleeding heart pussies that can't make any of the tough decisions that need to be made, busy crying about missing hot showers or some shit, and by season 3 they're living in a prison and barely speaking. Huge improvement in my eyes, but to each his own.

Season 1 only had a few episodes. Season 2 had over three times as many episodes, most of which didn't even have a zombie kill in them.

It's a drama with zombies show, not a zombie show.

My memory is pretty shitty, but from what I remember the non-zombie part of the show I liked most was that the survivors who wouldn't get with the program of what it means to survive in the apocalypse were all killed off by the end of the 2nd season. I think I just reconciled the whole thing by looking at it like the first 2 seasons were just about turning the group into actual survivors. Have you ever seen The Road? That's how the non-zombie parts should be.

Actually the formula is that every shitty episode has exactly 1 zombie kill, sometimes 2. They make sure to have at least 1 so we don't stop watching altogether.

I watched the first 2 seasons of this show for two reasons: "Finally! A TV show about zombies. And it's produced by AMC!"
I'm not crazy about the direction the show took, and that's why i'm not watching anymore. AMC is bound to have a bunch of shows that nobody likes, because everyone is expecting a Breaking Bad caliber show from them now.

Mad Men came before BB, and is the bar that every drama seeks to hit.

Mad Men is a great show 
I've only watched what is currently available on netflix, and liked what I saw. Hell on wheels isn't half bad either.

From what I've seen of Hell on Wheels and Low Winter Sun, I've liked, but they seem like shows that I should marathon instead of watching week to week.
Do they have season 6 of Mad Men on Netflix yet?

I'm not sure. I don't believe so though. I haven't seen any of Low Winter Sun yet. Just didn't seem like my kind of show 
But i agree with you about watching hell on wheels in a marathon. That's why generally I wait for shows to come out on netflix to watch em. (With the exception of breaking bad.)
