Well well well, looks like we are back to form with season 3. After a mostly disappointing season 2 I dreaded the series would never go back to being great, however with a far greater story being set with the governor and the prison (Read the comics, I kind of knew what was coming). The story and the acting has been particularly stellar this season and I don’t expect this to change when the series starts back up in February (Damn cliff-hangers!). I have really liked the way that the story would swap between Woodbury and the Prison as I found it never let the story go flat or soapy like at the farm. This season had strong violence and horror but also powerful emotional scenes and to be honest they really did spectacularly well with this season, It’s brought back the fans because it now deserves them. I am finding it hard to write the first non-spoiler paragraph so after this I will spoil as much as possible, so enjoy.

The first season was amazing so presumably the second season should only get better, right? Well no it wasn’t, it really wasn’t. It managed to fool me for the start but then about two episodes in I started to think I was watching a soap or something, because it just lost every sense of a zombie apocalypse by isolating the entire cast to a farm where the biggest threat was Shane having a bad day. Ok the first two episodes where great to good, then the next nine episodes where as boring as you could make them with the odd zombie walking around in the background of all the emotions, then the finale was pretty good but doesn’t make up for the weeks of boredom. Honestly though I am shocked they didn’t lose half of their loyal viewers because I was thinking about watching something else. Either way it was a good start and ending and the latest season has redeemed series.

This is my first review for a TV series and I hope you agree that I picked a good one to start off on. The first time I heard anything about this series was purely by accident when I stumbled upon the trailer, now I feel a bit stupid because when I first saw it I thought hmm that looks like a good film, until about an embossing week later I figured out that it was actually a TV series. When I knew it was a TV series I was ridiculously excited about the idea of a zombie TV series because there had never been such a series before and it looked fantastic. Luckily the first episode didn’t disappoint and if anything exceeded my expectation. Don’t Open, Dead Inside! You all know the scene.
