The Walking Dead

     I have watched the show The Walking Dead ever since its release date and have been keeping up with each episode of the show throughout its four seasons and into its fifth season. The very first episode of the first season does a fantastic job of leaving you with a cliff hanger and I have been faithfully watching ever since. In my opinion the show has gone down over the seasons however do to the writers' willingness to kill off main characters at any point without. While this makes those episodes extremely tense and interesting, this also means the episodes after tend to lack because that character is no longer a part of the story. At times the story also seems to minimize the risk that the zombies pose by making almost all of the later season's conflicts associated with other living people. Countless times the main group of characters we are following faces off against other groups in a fight to the death. While a little of this is fine and possible even necessary, I think it takes away from the story when their conflicts tend to overshadow the zombies altogether. If not for these flaws I feel that The Walking Dead could have been one of the best shows on televisions and one of the best I have ever seen.
