Double Tap

This week is the mid season finale of one of the best shows on TV  “The Walking Dead”.    If you haven’t seen or heard of this show then you are missing out.  The show is based on the series of the graphic novels by Robert Kirkman.  While the show is based on the series of books the show itself doesn’t follow them exactly.

The story is about the survivors of a zombie apocalypse traveling around Georgia trying find safety and shelter.  They do run into other survivors and either have conflict or help each other.  The show is filled with drama and action and there are zombies in every episode.

The special effects makeup for the zombies is better than some movies.  Now I'm not saying that all of the special effects are amazing, but overall they are pretty good for a TV show.  Since this show is on cable they can get away with some more violence and blood than if this show was on network TV.

The story telling is amazing as well.  I think that this is one of the best written shows on TV.  Each season follows a set story arc with each episode adding to the overall story.  Which most TV shows don’t do very well. 

The Walking Dead airs on AMC on Sunday at 7 pm.
