The Walking Dead debuts on Blu-ray with a deliberately rough and series-accurate 1080p Blu-ray transfer. Though modern convention calls for television series to be shot on HD video, The Walking Dead was captured primarily on 16mm film, giving the series a gritty, unkempt façade that lends to it a unique texture in support of the series' dark themes, grisly violence, and general sense of despair. Though the image occasionally goes soft and never appears razor-sharp, Anchor Bay's transfer nevertheless sports high-quality details as evident on police uniforms and patches, building textures, natural greenery, and all of the series' realistic gore. Colors favor a faded, worn appearance, but green foliage; a bright sports car; or other, flashier hues are handled with ease and displayed with a fairly natural tone. Blacks are deep, nighttime shots are absorbing and true, and crush is minimal. Though a touch of banding and a few bouts of blockiness are evident from time to time, the transfer captures the depressed look of the original elements quite well. It's a good look that's handled with much accuracy on Blu-ray.Read full review
A moving, intriguing drama about a zombie apocolypse set in/around Atlanta, GA. Some of the acting is not up to par, but others like Jeffrey DeMunn are definitely at the top of their game. The drama overall has some faults but all are forgiven as the story overcomes any actor's shortcomings. The zombies have never looked better. Greg Nicotero does the make-up effects which are A+. A very noble interpretation of the comic. Look for season 2 to be the actual "first" season. Season one seems like a 6 hour preview for the real season coming up in October, 2011. Bottom line, if you're a horror fan, you'll be in love with this series. If you're not a horror fan, you'll find it an engaging series in the caliber of Sons of Anarchy, Madmen, Justified, etc.
Season 1 a must watch and don't worry every episode is better than the last.
