Reception of The Walking Dead has been nothing but phenomenal. Metacritic.com compile various critic reviews and averages out the scores. The Walking Dead has been rated an 85 out of 100, which metacritic.com classifies as "universal acclaim." It received five ratings of a perfect 100, most notably from The Wall Street Journal, TV Guide, and People magazine. Metacritic.com also compiles user reviews, in which Walking Dead receives a 9 out of 10. Most of the poor reviews are from people who are not interested in zombies or the horror genre, and those who are upset that the show hasn't followed the comic word for word. User reviews must be taken with a grain of salt. A viewer is more likely to review a show based on how they feel rather than speaking (or typing) objectively. Also, people generally don't write a review unless they have a strong opinion either way. Overall, the opinion of The Walking Dead is high, and the fact that it was renewed for a second season after only two episodes speaks for itself!
