I give this show a 9 because although I do miss the gratuitous violence of traditional zombie flicks, I cannot deny the truly unique premise of the show. Rather than fighting to survive against a zombie horde the characters, are learning to live with zombies, who are not the real evil in the show. Instead the evil is rather the bigotry and ignorance of the human race itself, a kind of mindlessness paralleled in the behavior of zombies themselves. I could expound on and on about the thematic subtitles I've detected whilst viewing season one. But that would belabor the point. Besides the outstanding writing, and top-notch acting this show also delivers an amazing atmosphere, Kieran truly looks like an embalmed corpse all drenched in foundation, his haunting glassy eyes white and ghostly reflecting the foggy depths which engulf every scene... blah blah. In conclusion though I recommend this show because it really encapsulates what true horror, good horror is all about, a story wherein the characters themselves discover themselves to be monsters akin if not worse than the monsters they used to fight against.
