The Walking Dead has turned into a completely polarizing show with some people loving it and some people hating it. What the show suffers from is the writers creating too many dramatic cliffhangers and not knowing what to do with them. For example in a recent episode entitled "Secrets," the characters spend the entire episode revealing many of the most developed dramatic cliffhangers in the show leading up to that point. Because of the shear amount, it takes almost the entire episode to "clear the air" and makes the viewer feel as if he/she has wasted his time up until that point seeing where the story-lines are going. The show also suffers from many writing inconsistencies and plot-holes in season 2.
Regardless, the show has had many high points and exciting moments. Even the characters that aren't like-able are memorable. The zombies look and sound amazing and much of the camera work is largely fantastic.
Given the breadth and depth of the source material, a fan of the show can only hope the show can strike a balance of survival horror and drama, rather than get lost in its own ambition. Time will tell.
The Walking Dead: 6/10 with potential to be much, much more.
