Season 2 of AMC's The Walking Dead premiered Sunday night, watched by 7.3 million viewers, breaking the basic cable ratings record. That's a lot of zombie love.
Frank Darabont, the original showrunner (also credited as writer and executive producer) has been replaced, creating a lot of buzz about the future of the series. Fingers are already pointing to the unevenness of the first episode, What Lies Ahead, with mixed reviews on everything from the gore, to the believability of Andrew Lincoln's southern accent.
I can't think of a better vehicle for over-the-top acting, hammy accents and extravagant blood and guts than horror. After watching the supersized 90 minute episode, my nephew's response was, "too scary." Yes, and I loved it.
