Moslems or Zombies — what ever you want to call them — the reason why the TWD is so popular - it’s about survival and doing what is right when society collapses...
Zombies could be a horde of chaotic people that come after small groups by shear numbers — and what would you do?...it’s about tactics and planning ahead - pulling like minded people together to beat the overwhelming odds...with high unemployment, the fiscal crisis weeks away, and the number of enemies the US has inside and outside grows - TWD makes sense and people tune in...
I have zero interest in zombies. Never liked them There are countless more interesting monsters, including vampires. I hate the Romero movies. Nevertheless I love The Walking Dead.
Zombies are just part of the premise. What makes for a good tv show is something else altogether.
