I really enjoyed the first series, think that the pilot was as good as the rest.
What worries me is that in the future when the writers start getting stale we get a glorified soap, with much of the time being taken up with tensions, or sexual attraction between the characters.
If I wanted this I’d tune into Eastenders every night.
What I want is the cold chill of fear and uncertainty running down my spine, hope raised, hope dashed down, sudden surprises and unexpected plot twists, or characters that you KNOW are integral to the programme suddenly dying.
If I were in a world that was suffering a zombie apocalyse I doubt very much if people would pepretuate petty feuds with fellow survivors, my experience of people in life or death situations is that those things that would rile them in normal life become petty and irrelevant in the situation confronting them.
Even quite bitter enemies do more then just help each other out.
So I find it unrealistic when the central characters are squabbling with each other over trivialities when faced with a good chance of a horrible death in the near future.
Also I hope that the writers show the people having a good appreciation of the danger that surrounds them and not having them wander off alone “to think about things”, or have a bath or what ever, and to post some bloody SENTRIES !
As to when a character does something stupid or careless, as in leaving a door ajar or suchlike, apart from finding it slightly unbelievable in such a situation (Continuous fear over a prolonged time tends to make the even the biggest idiot self diciplined where staying alive is concerned),
I lose all sympathy for them and consider it their own fault if they get zombied.
Because I no longer care about what happens to them this seriously lessens the tension for me, and this in turn reduces my enjoyment of the programme.
Can’t wait to see the new series.
