This show is disturbing more than anything else on TV. It's not the blood and guts of the zombie killing.
It's the things that happen between the living survivors. The tone they choose in the directing and editing can be really dark and sometimes makes me feel a little uneasy when I start thinking about myself in the same situation.
Imagine throwing that lit cigarette in the gasoline. I would definitely do it without hesitation -- but not without a sick feeling that would keep me awake every night thinking about those guys burning alive. I can't think of any other TV show that goes to those places and shows real human brutality that comes from a desperation to live another day. Or maybe some people just look at it like any other violent TV show without putting it into that context.
It may not be a perfect show, but it sure as fuck delivers that "icky" feeling occasionally.
