Cause it's got a valid point to make, so it's insisting!!

You start out with this really lovable main character who struggles to deal with the zombies and everything, then, halfway through episode 2 or 3, you kill him and the rest of the series is nothing but shots of zombies mulling about set to minimalist ambient music.
It would be like some kind of, like, commentary...man....about...like, you know...how we are all, like, pretty inept...or something. Yeah.
Take that, sponsors and audience members!

Didnt the first evil dead movie kind of do that?

Those things are practically tailor-made to be done at the same time!
They use two completely different sense-organs! Come on, put that brain to use!

My view on the first episode :
The non-zombie sequences were tense, which is rare. I loved the stairwell scene -- the use of matches flaring and going out created a lot of tension without the use of a scare or a shambler.
The acting throughout the episode was superb. A scene consisting of your protagonist losing his cohesion and breaking down over his wife and son is not an easy thing to pull off convincingly. When you're in your chair pulling for him "Come on man, get up; get your shit together!" then you can be sure there will be plenty of gut-wrenching scenes among the gut wrenching ones.
A few scenes were damned hard to watch. Morgan trying and eventually failing to shoot his wife was riveting. I immediately reacted to the horse being killed. But it was a good scene, establishing the city as a death trap we all knew it would be without using a lot of gimmicks. The set and cinematography is amazing. It gives off the perfect gritty feeling in a more 'brownish' / neutral type of view.
I think the pace set the mood and helped the audience empathize with exactly how the main character is feeling. All zombie movies / shows have a zombie massacre. The moral dilemmas and emotional conflict the characters face will make the series, not the gore and random killing of zombies . . I'm actually less looking forward to the second episode's action. Most action based zombie scenes are generically similar. Suspense and drama are hard to be done correctly while building an identifiable character base. This pilot achieved that.
9.8/10

Im confused about one thing so far in the series. Is the woman in the refugee camp that was having sex with the man the cops wife? Maybe i missed that part but im thinking she is. If so what a bitch. She left her husband in the hospital and ran off with some other guy. That's just weak. Now granted if he was still in a coma then guess you would have to leave him but from what it looks like to me she was already with this other guy anyway.
