The Walking Dead (2010–2022)
8/10
'The Suicide King' (3:9)
15 February 2013
Warning: Spoilers
The second episode I've seen. I understand it is a cult favorite and I respect that. Here is my take: This series appears to be very feminine influenced and not in a good way. There is a point where "character driven" and "relationship focused" goes too far over the line and becomes a "soap opera". I don't like soap operas, I like horror television series.

I don't understand how a genre started by George Romero and fine tuned by Lucio Fulci suddenly transformed into Judith Krantz and Danielle Steele with walking dead people as window dressing , but I suspect it has much to do with a greedy network grabbing for a female demographic and throwing the male demographic under the bus.

I seriously doubt most of the males watching this have much patience with all the soap opera-ish talking head dialog going on and on, with an occasional zombie thrown in to create the illusion that this is a horror television series and not a chick show.

Two decaying dead thumbs down!
