Since âThe Walking Deadâ premiered in 2010, non-fans have often asked fans about the appeal of the show: âWho wants to watch people constantly on the run from zombies?â
They mistakenly equated the show with feature films about zombies. Zombie movies almost always have the same underlying theme: survival. From âNight Of The Living Deadâ to â28 Days Laterâ to âWorld War Z,â there is only one question viewers pose to themselves: âWill the characters survive?â There is never enough time to go beyond the theme of survival and really become invested in the characters.
In âThe Walking Dead,â survival is part of the show. But it is not a show about survival. The walkers serve as a plot device, but overall the show is about people and what happens to their humanity when they face such situations. Viewers get to invest in the lives of the characters, allowing us to go beyond the circumstances they face or the world in which they live. This dynamic enhances the story.

Carol is not a phycho. She’s a survivalist bad azz. A hero.
I asked my daughter why her generation is so fascinated with zombies. She didn’t know.
It all kind of makes sense to me if I think of zombies as those without Christ.....the Bible says they are spiritually dead, after all.
You are, of course, correct. I’ve only watched 2 episodes so far.
Stop thinking Fat Guy, television drama is fantasy and you should accept it as that. And move out of LA, it will rot your brain......
