i did that too and was only mildly interested. then i ended up with the second season, and a few episodes in, i
realized how good the series was. so i started over and wow!
the story is in the types of human characters and group
dynamics.
i wonder if the old friend mentioned in the spoiler is
the guy and his son that helped rick early on. i’ve always thought they would reappear.doesn’t sound good though.
Wow! I can’t believe they didn’t bring back the black guy and his son. That seemed like it would be a given.
