Never watched the other one. Does that matter?

At this point I am just rooting for everyone to fucking die so I can stop watching. The show has literally become worthless.
Edit: Derp. I mistook this for The Walking Dead.

I am excited to see what this show looks like... its entirely original, not based off comics.... so I am interested in what they come up with.

Yeah, even though it's one show, I think it has potential to be better than TWD. Great pilot.

Really mods? Because music n film gets so much traffic. Get a grip.

I agree. Seems to be grittier. More of an edge if you will.

So, is this show related to walking dead at all?

Meh. I'll probably get hooked eventually but the pilot most definitely did not have me at the edge of my seat. Seems like they are reaching for the Buffy demographic with the troubled young adult characters.

It will tell the story of the beginning of the outbreak. It's the timeline we never see with the Walking Dead because Rick Grimes is in a coma for its entirety.
Good pilot. Seems promising even if the main characters thus far are rather lame.

I was 50/50 on the pilot last night.... I like the idea of getting to see how the outbreak starts, but I felt like I watched 85 mins of character drama and 5 mins of a zombie outbreak.
Also, I am not a huge fan of any of the characters thus far.... I have a feeling the characters will transform a great deal as the outbreak happens in order to survive it... some of them better become likeable because right now any of them could get eaten and I would feel pretty meh about it.

I'm waiting on a few eps to air before just queuing them up. AKA: saving this for a rainy day.

Well it makes sense that there wasn't going to be a lot of "zombie outbreak" since this was very early in the whole process. I don't think it would have made sense if half the show had zombies everywhere.
If anything, I'm kinda surprised that it moved that quickly. I thought people would start catching on that something was seriously wrong midway through the season. Like at first, people notice dead animals in the alley that looked like there eaten and shit, rumors going around that there was a virus spreading and people getting paranoid, etc.
I think that's pretty much the norm at the start of every series haha. I remember I didn't care much for Hank in Breaking Bad when the show first started. I thought his character was kind of annoying. But over time he grew on me and I was bummed out when he died.

I liked Rick, Glen, Darryl, and Shane at the beginning of TWD... within the first episode I was a fan of Rick and Morgan and his son.... **** I was a fan of Rick's horse lol.... poor fucking horse died and I was kinda sad.
I realize the outbreak wasn't going to go full blown in the first episode, but I wish they could have alluded more to the workings of the outbreak, you got a little bit of that.... the kid talking about it to the councilor chick.... the hospital taking the dead guy downstairs immediately.... but that kinda stuff and how the government was responding to the zombie outbreak was very light IMO... I spent way more time getting to know this dysfunctional family than I would have liked.
I want to see the outbreak of the zombie virus in the context of these characters, not a show about a dysfunctional family and their drama with the zombie outbreak being the backdrop.
IMO TWD has gotten into that mode, where the zombie apocalypse is just a backdrop for character drama.... if this show just becomes family drama with zombies in the background I am going to get annoyed.

I thought the same about Pinkman during the first season and by the end of the show...he was my favorite character.
