You have this survivalist who we see makes a massive effort to secure and fortify his homestead however when the crappola hits the fan and the raiders attack what does this well-prepared survivalist do? Why, he runs right out into the middle of the street with zero cover! And gets shot. I thought the exact same thing. He could have been sniping them but to stand out in the middle of the street!?? bentbryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The humble Watcher lurking Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I am liking this show. I have zombie fatigue like superhero fatigue so was going to pass, but had a few friends suggest this show for me as I did play the first video game back in the day. Got to admit the third episode was a tear jerker. I expect that episode will be nominated for a few awards. Can't wait until episode 4. Reminds me of Walking Dead first few seasons. High quality.

s-man Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Ep 4 wasn't my favorite thus far...a bit too predictable, but still good. It felt more like what actual "civilization" would be if something like this occured in real life. The humble Watcher lurking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexinnih Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Coming in ignorant to the video game and decided to start with the available episodes with a HBO Max free week from Xfinity. Got through the first two episodes and will give 3/4 a run before the week finishes. Have to admit the reason I stopped watching The Walking Dead and didn't get into any of the spin-offs was a combination of Apocalypse fatigue and story repitition. Did like this one had an origin story Thought the "infected" were comical in appearance with the big heads - maybe intentional shout out to the video games Typical "police state" in quarantine one and the required "resistance" - maybe I missed it but not sure what they are fighting against, if just the "police state" don't find that compelling in the situation of the world has crumbled Yet another kid who is annoying - didn't recognize her at first from Game of Thrones but thought it was the annoying Princess Leia kid from Obi-wan. Will give the rest a shot The humble Watcher lurking and jcjames 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s-man Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I did like the way this ep addressed the issue with old gas and having to change it quickly. I don't think WD ever really said anything about it. Bosco685, The humble Watcher lurking and Artboy99 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you that (but not by much) but Walking Dead had so many cool characters (even in the beginning) that it was easier to be into that show. It helped that they were the 1st.

chrisco37 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 My daughter just recently decided to start watching TWD. So, I've joined her. Haven't watched it since it first aired. We are in S2. Forgot how good those early seasons are/were. Enjoying it very much. Beige, batmiesta, The humble Watcher lurking and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul © ® ⚽️💙™ Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) 4 episodes in and I am enjoying it very much. What I like about the TV show is that it is sufficiently different from the Video games as to not interfere with the games foundation. The Games rule all in every single way. The acting (voice), the plots, the scenarios etc etc. The TV series is an enjoyable variant and tangent. No matter how good it gets it will never match up to the emotion that the games generate. That said it is good Telly. Last night (ep4) the credits rolled with True Faith by Lotte Kestner...the original game version is by Ashley Johnson who of course plays Ellie in the games, and will appear later in the TV series as a Ellie's mother. Jeffery Pierce (Tommy in the games) played Perry in the TV show last night, and sounded exactly like Tommy.
