I was actually searching for something to plug off so I decided to watch the first series. Well I'm quite a fan of the zombie genre when done right (such as the Romero movies or I digged Resident evil too).
The first episode / pilot wasn't that bad, it had a good post-apocalyptic feel and I liked the zombie aspect that was provided with great sense for detail. So I kept on watching.
However, the real problem started when there were more "characters" introduced, and from around the the fourth episode on, I started to realize someting goes very wrong here.
Is it only me or do you also find pretty much all the characters either really annoying ("T-dog", Korean dude, pretty much all the women...) or totally blunt and absolutely non personable?
Add the soap opera feel to it (yes it's very likely and important to talk about "feelings" and create useless drama, especially when you're on the run and followed by an army of undead), women maintianing their hair and really retarted attitude, "character development" and "deep dialogues" at the level of a puppet theatre - It's basicaly a bad soap opera mixed with occassional major carnage.
I guess that's the magic spell?
