I resisted watching BB for a few years, then got sucked in when I finally decided I had to see what all the fuss was about.
Have not seen a single episode of TWD yet—the ads look terrible and I cannot see how that is a compelling storyline. Should I try it?
It is as good, but different. Aside from zombie splatter, it is a good apocalypse story.
One word: yes.
My sister-in-law and her husband thought we were silly for loving a “zombie” show. They finally gave in and got completely hooked. And she hates the horror genre.
TWD isn’t about zombies...it’s just great drama.
I resisted as well; but, during one summer when we had nothing to watch Hubby and I decided to give WD a try (the first season was on Netflix). I found the characters interesting enough to keep on watching.
It has it's ups and downs; but, I think overall, it is a good show. It is violent and bloody at times (zombies!); but you care about the people involved. Some people hated the season at Hershel's farm; but, I didn't mind it that much. There was a big shocker in that episode, and the zombie herd was horrifying.
The storyline is the best part. After awhile, the whole ‘zombie’ aspect of it sort of goes into the background. It’s the other living people that are what needs to be worried about. The ‘living’ are without a doubt the primary antagonists.
