I'm not quite all caught up, but have read the first 10 trade paperbacks (which go through issue 60), and am very curious to see how this show might pull off some of the storylines to come down the lineā¦ The first episode jumps us right in with a scary sequence involving our protagonist, police officer Rick Grimes ( Andrew Lincoln), and one of the zombie "walkers," which quickly lessens any fears one may have about this series holding back in terms of the violence and unsettling content of the comics. Based on Robert Kirkman's comic book about a world overrun by zombies, the TV series has quite a pedigree, coming from executive producers Gale Anne Hurd ( The Terminator, Aliens) and Frank Darabont, with the latter - the acclaimed filmmaker behind The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile - the main creative force here, writing and directing the first episode, " Days Gone Bye." Full disclosure on my Walking Dead background, as I'm sure it will come up sometimes while reviewing the series: I'm a huge fan of the comic book.
