So I'm picking up a conflict of opinions: either it's mediocre or all kinds of awesome.
I was thinking of watching this show but I haven't really read the comics. Will that affect my enjoyment at all?
TheFuriousWombat:
Episode 2 was pretty alright. Very uneven to be sure but far better than the overwrought snooze fest that was episode 1 at least. I may not make it through the season but if the episodes continue to improve (at least to a point) I might give it a chance. One of my concerns is that many of the characters and much of the dialog continues to feel trite and cliched, as do a lot of the scenarios and "twists." I find it tough to enjoy a show when I don't like a majority of the characters and even those I do like I feel I've seen a hundred times before. TWD isn't offering anything new or engaging at this point and unless it does it's just going to get more and more stale. The point is I'm not really sure that this series has legs. When I hear Robert Kirkman say he wants the show to run for 20 seasons I can't help but laugh, not only because it's patently ridiculous for him to say that but because it's pretty clear this show couldn't sustain itself for even close to half that. Not given the current order of things.
