It took me years to agree to watch this. I kept telling people "No. I am not into zombies". Every time I someone would tell me to watch it I wouldn't. I was completely closed off to the idea. I couldn't even fathom how there was such a cult that followed Walking Dead. So many people would be so excited that social media would blow up at the start of a new season.
Until one day my husband and I found ourselves over at a friends place who was watching an episode in Season 7. We became so enthralled by the scenes that we realized its NOT all about zombies, so those who currently don't watch the show and who think it is just about zombies are wrong. It's about SURVIVAL, and the number of lengths you'll go to to SURVIVE. You also become really emotionally attached to a lot of the characters.
Walking Dead is absolutely phenomenal. I've been currently binge watching it and I'm on Season 6. I simply can't get enough.
