Is this based on a comic?
If it is, it's going to be harrowing.
The comic has some rough sh*t in it.

Yes. It is based on graphic novels of the same name.
My friend read that comic and just went nuts for it. So I'm pretty pumped about watching this.
(As an aside he's a comic afficianado. He has a collection in the neighbourhood of 100,000 volumes, and he ranks it as one of the best he's ever read).
first episode i thought was real good. Alot of the main characters i believe are english actors playing ppl from the u.s. Not regular u see that hehe, nice start to the season though

Some of my fave characters have been just that but I agree it is usually Americans butchering the European accents. UK based actors seem to do fine though.
Some examples:
Damian Lewis as Major Winters in Band of Brothers
Idris Elba as Stringer Bell in The Wire
Dominic West as Jimmy McNulty in The Wire
First episode was awesome. The only thing that bothered me was that the zombies ate Rick's horse. Zombies aren't supposed to eat animals, only human flesh. Other than that, it was a sick start to the series. Stuck fairly close to the comics too.
I'm not sure there's an established canon for what Zombies will and won't eat. I haven't read the comic, so I don't know how close it stuck to it, but a lot of the cinematography seemed very comic-esque. I was really impressed. Amazing first episode.
Is this a spoiler free thread?
True Blood, Dexter, and Sons of Anarchy threads contain spoilers, so I'd imagine this one will too. That being said I'm watching it now, so don't say a word.
I've seen zombies eat anything from sharks to horses. I believe Survival of the Dead was the first time they tried horses. I don't think there's anything they won't eat, just not each other. Or maybe they just like the Overeem diet.
Amazing first episode. I can't wait for the next one.
