Don’t watch the first one.
Then in order don’t watch the sequels or reboots.
That’s how.
You must be a hoot at parties. :/
To my surprise, the TV series “The Walking Dead” is actually quite good due to strong characters, good acting, and solid drama. The audience demographics tend conservative, which makes sense due to the lack of wokeness, frequent gun use, and mostly grim view of human nature. In addition, the main group of survivors are strongly loyal to each other and tend to become better and more fully rounded over time.
