The Walking Dead

Based on a comic book, wait don't runaway it is actually fun to watch.

I never actually read the comic book or any other comic book so I can't say if it is better or worse.

The series on it's own is good drama.

Like Resident Evil the main hero is a law enforcement person who slept through the zombie apocalypse. Hero cop is searching for his family and hopefully this show won't stretch it out too much.

What makes this zombie caper better than average are the zombies themselves. They are not always slow, they eat more meat than just humans, and they use tools. You almost feel sorry for them as they still have many human traits.

Other shows also premiering were Psych and Burn Notice. Too many one hour shows.
