Great first 2 episodes..after tha it got quite uinteresting tbh. The acting is really bad at times too.

Really dissapointed with the season finale too. They seriously need to develop these characters man, cuz so far, I don't give a damn about none of them.

I think they're doing fine on character development. I'm halfway through Madmen S2 and I'm still waiting for fully formed human beings to emerge above the sketchy plotlines revolving around advertising kitschy products and tribute to early 60's fashion and culture.

There was only one worthless episode in the first season of the Walking Dead for me. It was episode 3, I think, in which the group from the city returns to camp only to spend the entire episode deciding to RETURN to the city for guns and the redneck's brother on the roof. Total waste of time, other than character development, that could have been done just as effectively without all that pointless moving characters from stage A to stage B back to stage A.

And I think the setting and scenario for the finale was not the most dramatic or interesting thing to do, but it was decent. I suppose it was better to get that in the first season than to start season 2 with it and have the audience saying "Crap, this is a totally different show than what we thought it was." (See "Heroes" S2).
