Episode One of "The Walking Dead" by Lindsay Bays

Last night on Halloween at 10 pm, episode one aired of "The Walking Dead." About 5.3 million people tuned into watch the new AMC series.  It was the biggest audience ever for an original series from AMC.  It beat out its competitor's finale episode, Dead Set, on IFC that aired from 9:45 to 10:15 pm.

The first episode followed the first part of the first comic very closely.  I was glad to see that it stuck to the original story so well.  It was great to see it in live action.  The intro of the show was not in the beginning of the comic however;  but it was a great start for the episode because TV is obviously a lot different than reading a comic.  It really got the show going;  it gave a great preview to what the zombies will look like.  In the entire episode the zombie make up was great!  That made the show worth watching;  it was gory and realistic.  I feel like the quality of the show is really good.  It is rare to see any sort of made for TV zombie show or movie that was made with that high of quality.  I highly suggest this show to anyone that likes horror.
