the WALKING DEAD: fight the dead, fear the living

Shhhh...dont make a sound

The series is set in a post apocalyptic world where the dead rise up and feed on the living. The horror/drama series follows the main character,Rick Grimes, a former deputy sheriff as he tries to keep his family and a group of survivors alive even though the group gets smaller with each passing episode.

The world is literally upside down, there is no government, law force, hospitals or basic amenities and people have to survive with what is there as well as stay alive by evading the deadly zombies. Hardly a day passes by before someone loses their lives to them or is killed by a rival 'group' as the living also fight amongst themselves for the precious
resources available ...most of the time it tends to be over guns and ammunition or a safe place to stay.

 The  'Walkers' as the are fondly known as (sic) are always hungry for a live meal and they hardly have any weakness. Individually they are easy to kill but in a group they become a formidable force to reckon with. Their bite is also infectious as it is deadly leaving very little to be desired of a bitten person.

The series premiered on October 31, 2010 and has gone on to have three successive seasons as well as won various awards like the Writers Guild of America Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series (Drama) The series is based on a comic book by the same name and the creators did it justice by coming up with a captivating ad intense series that will have you on the edge of your seat throughout the season.


Season four is slated to premiere in October 2013 and will consist of 16 episodes.
