I enjoyed the first season. Well, kind of. It wasn't all that spectacular and had too much emotional pointless crap imo. I thought I enjoyed it more than I lead on but considering when second season came around and I never even bothered watching the premiere... I guess I thought wrong.
I haven't seen it but when i see the commercials and advertisements for it, it looks kinds cheesy and something i might not like. Im all for zombies and stuff, just the way they seem to do it feels awkward to me. On the other hand, maybe i should just watch an episode before i judge.
Pretty much "meh". Especially the new season. They dragged out the first half of the season waaaaaaaaay too long. Could have fit it all in 2 episodes and lost none of the impact of the twist in the mid-season finale. And while we're on that topic, I hate shows that do that mid-season break crap. I'll probabaly lose interest before the show returns.
But my biggest complaint is that I just don't care about any of the characters. A season and a half into the show, and I still forgot some of the characters exist until they randomly wander on screen again. For such a slow show, you would think they could have characterized everyone and their horse by now, but they still just seem like bland cliches.

I have been liking most of it so far despite what some people had said about the new season. I'm eagerly await for the rest of the season to air next Feburary.
I hate this show with a violent passion, none of the characters look or act the way they do in the comic but it suffers from all the same problems. There are barely any zombies in it and the dialogue sections are all incredibly elongated and annoying and aren't well worked into the story at all. It's like the show constantly feels the need to slam on the breaks every 5 minutes for no apparent reason when dozens of other zombie iterations can actually work these character developments into their over all narratives. That's the problem the comic has as a monthly book.
Great production values, good acting, good atmosphere, but utterly boring in every other conceivable way.
I really want to like it, I just can't.

I've been enjoying it, I can understand not seeing constant zombie apocalypse every moment of the show because that would just end up devaluing the entire thing. I do enjoy some of the characters, like Dale and Daryl are my two favorites right now. Shane can just go die, I'm tired of him now.
Don't like it.
I liked season 1 to an extent, but season 2 made the zombies way too smart for my liking. When a zombie stopped, got down carefully with clear care not to hurt itself and looked under a car for the little girl I decided I wouldn't watch any more. I decided the kid getting shot at the end of the episode was the end of the series.

You have your
I like it enough to watch it, but not necessarily enough to get excited about it.
I like to compare between the show and the still-running comic, of which I am almost current on. It's largely an exercise in adaptation analysis. I've come to the conclusion that the show will incorporate almost all the events depicted in the comic, just at a slower pace. Except for those events rendered pointless by plot divergence.
I could be wrong though.

The show has its moments. But they're very few and far between. The pilot was generally excellent, and the very end of this season's mid-season finale was pretty strong. In between? Mehhhhhhhhhhhh...
The show had its budget slashed brutally between S1 and S2 and it shows. There are very few "zombie" moments, and where there are you seldom see more than a small handful at a time. The vast majority of the show is therefore given over to the human cast. This is fine, really, to make this a human drama instead of a zombie action show, but it's not a very GOOD human drama. The acting is spotty, the characterization ranges from bland to annoying, the lead is an unbelievable Mary Sue, the conflicts are tedious and poorly delivered, the show lacks tension and pacing, the writing is all over the place, and perhaps most unforgivably there is little to no air of threat.
By the standards of most television, it's a decent enough show. By the standards of GOOD television, it's actually pretty bad, and I'm rapidly losing patience with it. I guess it depends on where your standards are.

well i havent saw everything (just 2 first episodes) but from what i saw and heard it isnt that good and there are a lot of importent amazing parts missing from the comics which are just amazing! seriosly if you like zombies you owe it to yourselves to read the comic siries i know it has 91 issues already but belive me i joined in by completing with trade papers up to ish #84 (and read monthly from there on) and it was worth every penny!
I like the show. It's definitly got it's flaws. But when the show has some momentum going, and is actually advancing the plot it can be fantastic. It's not quite a Game of Thrones, but it's still a solid show.
