PRO REVIEWS ---------------------------------------- "'The Walking Dead' (...) believes in the importance of monsters, perfectly balancing the struggle of basic human decency with those palsied four-in-the-morning moments when we are convinced that everyone around us is trying to eat us alive' (...) Rating: ***** (out of five)" (Mary McNamara: Los Angeles Times) ---------------------------------------- "The television adaptation is surprisingly scary and remarkably good, a show that visually echoes the stylized comic-book aesthetic of the original and combines elegant suspense with gratifyingly crude and gruesome slasher-film gore". (Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times) ---------------------------------------- "Taken as a fright fest, pure and simple, Dead succeeds admirably well, capturing the terror and confusion of waking up in a world where you've gone from person to endangered-species zombie food (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Robert Bianco: USA Today) ---------------------------------------- "Darabont and his cast excel at conjuring up a taut social study, but let the horror scenes fall oddly flat (...) Despite that, the show is undeniably intriguing and creepily contemporary" (Hank Stuever: The Washington Post)
