正直期待ほど面白いとは思えませんでした。
何か起きるのは、誰かが我儘な行動をした時か単独行動をした時がほどんどです。
絶対絶命の様な時でもストーリーの都合上死なない事もあります。
ストーリーも、陳腐というか惰性というか同じ様な事の連続です。
また、ゾンビの動きがシーズン1とシーズン3以降では全く違います。
ゾンビはストーリーの一部でしかなく、結局グループ同士の抗争の連続です。
主要キャラ全員が死ぬか、「それでも彼らは生きている。」みたいな結末しか見えません。

Amazonプライムに登録して、始めて見たドラマです。
大のゾンビモノ好きの自分としては、大満足。
激しいアクションというよりは、如何に生き抜くか、如何に仲間と助け合うかを中心に描いている印象です。
ただ特別人間ドラマとして優れているという訳ではありません。
LOSTの要素を薄くしたゾンビドラマといったところでしょうか。
人間ドラマばかりに期待すると拍子抜けするかもしれませんが、ある程度の期待には応えることでしょう。
ゾンビの作り物感は否めませんが(偶に明らかに人形を使っていると分かるシーンも)、
ドラマでやっていくのなら仕方が無いのかもしれませんね。
作り物と言っても、よく出来ているので問題はありませんが。
作品としては少々突っ込みどころがあるものの、大体筋は通っています。
細かいところに目を瞑れば問題は一切ありません。
というかゾンビ作品ってそういうものですよね。
そういう「なんちゃって」な所もゾンビ作品らしさが漂います。
ですがその「なんちゃって」が許されないラインも。
感染経路についての基準が曖昧な点と、弾数です。
ゾンビ作品において感染の恐怖は何よりも一番にあるもの。
それがこの作品では少々曖昧で「え、それ大丈夫なの? ここ対策したほうがよくない?」というシーンも。
また弾薬に関しても、「なさそうで意外とある」ので緊張感がありません。
弾薬は始めに確保していたので、その心配がないのかもしれませんがやはり不満。
弾がなくとも割りと容赦なく撃ちますし、弾がなくなれば直ぐ新たな弾薬に巡り合えます。
一人一人弾が枯渇していくような様はない為、緊張感はやはり薄れますよね。
「くそっ! もう弾がねぇ!」みたいなシーンは少ないです。
またこの先、シーズン7ぐらいまであるということで、最後まで見れるか心配です。
やはり海外ドラマは長いので中々しんどい。
完走できるかな……。
以上、話の長さと感染経路等の設定で惜しく感じた為、星4つ。
しかし面白いです。是非ご覧あれ。

「ゾンビのドラマ」というのは知っていましたが、一度観たら果てしないことになるので敬遠しておりました。
一話だけ観てしまったら、気付けばシーズン1全て観てしまった……。
ゾンビというジャンルだけで鉄板だし、外すのが難しい。
しかもしっかり作られているんですよね。
ドラマだからショボくなるってことになっていない。
「ゾンビもの」は人間にとって「都合の良い世界破綻の仕方」なんでしょう。
ヒューマンストーリーにうんざりすることもなく、ついつい観てしまうのに丁度よい世界観でした。
シーズン2以降も手を出せばこうなることは分かっているので、うかつには観れないんだよなぁ。

2回目の視聴での感想です。最近のシーズンに比べて序盤はウォーカーの存在感とこの世界観での人間模様が描かれていてドラマとして楽しめる
中にはこいつうざいなーって思う場面多々ありますが、そう思ってしまう時点で制作側の狙い通りだと思うんです。
この世界で完璧になんてこなせるわけなく、失敗やおかしくなってしまうことのほうが自然で、その中でどう展開していくのかワクワクしながら観れますね。
最近のシーズンはそういうのが薄くなってきてしまいこのドラマの良さが無くなってしまってる気がして残念です。

EP5途中
まず期待外れなのはゾンビよりサバイバー間のドラマがメインな事。もっとゾンビをどうこする事だけを追って見せる物で無いといまいち。
あとは主人公達サバイバー集団の目的がはっきりしていない事。これがかなりイライラさせられる。
どこを目指して何に対して行動する集団なのかを明確にして目的が違えば別れればいい話。
目の前の生だけを求めて刹那的に行動するのか、数年かけてでもゾンビを駆逐し文明を取り戻すのか
目的意識が違うなら最初から一緒に行動しなければいい話。
感情に流されて行動するのはバイオハザードを乗り切ってからにしろと何度イライラさせられた事か。
ゾンビよりこいつ死んでくれないかなぁと何度思わされた事か。
あと人間ドラマとゾンビ対処は1:9で良い。
ゾンビ物ならゾンビをどうにかする事だけ追ってくれ。そこらに転がってるドラマの演出の一つに成り下がってる
シリーズ物で最終的には解決するゲーム的なやつが見たい。
映画だと尺の関係で無理矢理詰め込んだ物になるから面白くないし。
そういう物どこかに無いかねぇ・・・

ありふれたゾンビ物かな~とか舐めてましたが
緊張感やキャラの表現などでぐいぐい引き込まれました。
シーズン1~2までは大ヒット納得のできです。

Zombies for this generation... hats off to Romero! And a clarification of episode 2 "missing footage" "Guts". It is all there!
2014年1月4日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM SOME ARE HAVING WITH EPISODE 2, "GUTS." IT APPEARS THAT SOME ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH THE ENTIRE FOOTAGE (3+ MINUTES OR SO) CONCERNING THE GROUPS TAKING INDOORS "WAYNE DULAP", THE DEAD, WALKER. THIS FOOTAGE OF GORE AS THE GROUP HACKS AWAY AT HIM WITH AN AXE IN GRAPHIC DETAIL. I TOO HAVE SEEN THIS DELETION. BUT, YOU CAN SEE IT ALL! A SIMPLE CHANGE AS TO HOW YOU BEGIN WATCHING THE FIRST DISC IS KEY. SIMPLY VIEW EACH EPISODE AS A SINGLE EPISODE IN ITSELF. RATHER THAN CLICKING "PLAY ALL." TO VIEW EACH EPISODE AS A SINGLE PLAY, YOU WILL SEE EVERY FRAME OF INTENDED GORE AND BLOOD! OR AS REAL AS IT WAS INTENDED! I HOPE THIS CLEARS THE MISCONCEPTIONS OF "MISSING FOOTAGE."
As a Verified Amazon Purchased item, I can attest to this with my honesty and heart. Growing up on the original "Night of the Living Dead", that movie scared me for years. To this day, it still sends shivers down my spine. In fact, the only thing that truly gets my heart pounding in fright, is the dead coming back to life! For decades hundreds of movies have imitated, but never duplicated that 1968 low-budget film. One man's view took others with him and the select few became giants in the industry in their own right. Tom Savini was Romero's make-up & special effects artist on NOTLD and he branched off to make the dead more real in his views. Another man, Greg Nicottero, followed Savini, and in time, along with Howard Berger, became the predominant forces when it came to bringing the dead to life. Fast forward to 2010.
When I heard whispers at Horror Conventions that the Graphic Novel I loved, "The Walking Dead" would be picked up by AMC for a single, 6 episode season, I knew my dreams of NOTLD had come full circle. Having met Mr. Romero on several occasions, I had asked him of his thoughts on the TV jump? He just said, "If anyone can pull this off, Greg can." That was golden for me. But how does one take a comic of sorts and turn it into a TV series?
AMC gave the go-ahead for an unprecedented attempt to where TV had not gone before. No different than Star Trek and the realms it charted. Wow. Was I shocked and happily worth the 50 year wait!
Robert Kirkman's take on the "Undead" was and is breathtaking. While there are certain differences between the Graphic Novel & TV show, some subtle, others much more outright, "The Walking Dead Season 1" was absolutely brilliant! Sure, the first episode mirrors "28 Days Later" as Rick Grimes awakes from a coma to find the world has turned upside down, he remains true to his Sheriff's law abiding ways. As well as a man seeking his wife and son. Only to find every BODY he passes is either "put down" or NOT! As he arrives to his home, his life, you see what I believe any of us would do. Collapse. He breaks down as he realizes that all he knew is no more, but with a grip on "maybe?" He patrols outdoors to his former neighbors home. Only to be whacked with a shovel by an even more scared Duane. Only a child himself trying to deal with DEAD PEOPLE NOT STAYING DEAD! As Rick regains his wits for a sec, he sees Morgan with a muzzle in his face. Wait? Isn't Rick the Sheriff? No wonder he passes out! We as the audience do not need the growing ensemble cast yet. Rick needs to learn about the new reality first, first hand. The brief cut-aways at his prior gun shot are necessary for US to learn about him. Rick learns of the world from Morgan and Duane. All the while Morgans pathetic wife mopes just outside because Morgan himself still hasn't come to terms yet. And he is 1 month into this insanity!
All in this first episode, the 3 members must deal with this together. Yet prepare to go separate ways. An amazing moment when Morgan has his new rifle that Rick gave him. One full month on of his morbid wife lurking outside the front door, and the Human Element keeps him from putting her down. He knows she is dead. It is the right thing to do. But the LOVE keeps him from pulling that trigger. Duane knows the moment is near and covers his ears and cringes with fright! Morgan hesitates. He is not ready to deal with the "Walking Dead." Fore his wife is not his wife anymore. Given the chance, she would tear into his flesh in a sec! Rick drives off in a Sheriff's car in search of Lori and Carl. He KNOWS they made it. He hangs onto this simple yet strong notion. If not, then all hope is truly lost! All in the first episode!
I shall not go on about the remaining 5 episodes of Season 1. By now, I'm sure most of you have either seen them or know about them. Many on here have written much as I. Yes, some hate the premise of Zombies altogether. I say to them, just don't watch, don't read this and change the channel. As Bruce Springstien sang, "500 channels and nothing to watch." I'm sure there is. As for myself and Millions of loyal Undead fans, THIS is exactly what we have been waiting for.
All thanks to George A. Romero and his original vision of "NIGHT OF THE FLESH EATERS." I'm so glad that name never took!
I am highly recommending this set in Blu-Ray! To watch this in the best possible clarity and sound is like nothing else! I have also purchased "The Walking Dead Seasons 2&3" on Blu-Ray as well. I shall be leaving follow-up reviews for them as well. By far, aside from the original "Star Trek Series", AMC's "The Walking Dead" is the BEST thing on cable television...

The living and the Dead
2013年1月4日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This box set contains all six episodes of the first season of the Walking Dead. Spread across two dvds.
Just in case you haven't read the comic from which this is adapted:
The central character is Rick Grimes. A sheriff's deputy in Georgia, who is left in a coma following a shooting. He wakes up to find the world has changed in the meantime. Civilisation has collapsed. There are zombies everywhere. And survivors of this apocalypse face a battle to survive. Setting out to find his wife and son he witnesses the way the world has changed. And the hard decisions people need to make if they want to carry on living.
Many tough choices await him.
There are four episodes on the first dvd, and two on the second. The first, being the pilot episode for the series, runs for just over an hour. The others are forty four minutes each [approx].
This is a production into which a lot of effort has gone. Which is obvious from the off, thanks to some very impressive visuals. The first episode throws you into the middle of this new world as it introduces you to it via Rick's experiences after awakening. Judicious use of incidental music really helps, as does the fact that some scenes are deathly silent.
Some are downright scary as well.
You will eventually meet more characters, who are an electic bunch, but well drawn in that they represent ordinary people from all walks of life being thrown together, and starting out as total strangers, then having to work with each other to survive.
This, in addition to being zombie horror, is also a character drama. All about the effect that life changes and tough moral decisions have on people, and how they change as a result, plus asking the viewer what they might do in such situation.
Each episode does tend to take a very different approach to the story. The first two are fast paced with a fair amount of action. The third slows down slightly to introduce characters. The fourth has a central dilemma with some good plot developments. The fifth deals with the aftermath of an incident and the choices it forces on people. The sixth shows what certain other people have been up to. And reiterates one of the show's main themes.
British actor Andrew Lincoln makes for an excellent Rick, doing an American accent very well, making his character a commanding presence. There are some excellent supporting performances also. Those characters don't always get proper introductions so you may take a short while to get used to them, but they are all strong creations.
Some of the Georgia accents can be a little tricky for international viewers to get used to, but that's only a minor complaint. Because you will.
If you have read the comics, then you'll find this season of the show does bring a lot of the set pieces from the first volume of collected issues The Walking Dead Volume 1: Days Gone Bye: Days Gone Bye v. 1 , but does include a lot of extra stories. And a few characters that may be new on you. A lot of the actors do look uncannily like their characters as shown on the printed page, which is appealing.
If you haven't read the comics and want to get into them after seeing this, then that's the volume to start with.
There are some very minor cuts to one episode from it's transmitted edition [I base that comment on a thread in the product forum, not having seen this on tv first time around] for reasons of gore, so those not happy with that fact will possibly want to look for other editions of this. But if you want to get into a good throught provoking post apocalyptic character drama, then you shouldn't mind.
The dvd's have the following language and subtitle options:
Languages: English.
Subtitles: English.
There's a decent amount of extras on disc two.
The making of the Walking Dead is a thirty minute long [approx] making of documentary. Which is a very good watch.
Inside the Walking Dead episodes one to six are six five minute long features about each individual episode, discussing the story of each. They are all run together so there's no option to watch them individually, but they are all also very good and work a look.
A sneak peek with Robert Kirkman is a four minute long promotional feature for the season, seeing the creator of the comic introducing a few clips.
Convention panel with producers runs for eleven minutes and shows some of the cast and crew being interviewed at comic-con.
Zombie make up tips last for roughly five minutes and shows you how they do the zombie make up. And how you can do it yourself if you wish. It's good viewing for any aspiring make up artists.
Extra footage is a section of short features:
Zombie school. This last two minutes and shows how the extras playing the zombies were put through their paces.
On set with Robert Kirkman last three minutes and sees him watching a scene being filmed.
Hanging with Steven Yeun is a three minute feature with various short clips of one of the cast on set, introducing you to a few things.
Inside Dale's rv is of similar length and looks around the inside of one key prop.
On set with Andrew Lincoln is a short feature with him talking directly to camera about the show. You don't see anything much of the set, but it's a good chat.
Great show. Excellent dvd.

Zombie make up tips last for roughly five minutes and shows you how they do the zombie make up. And how you can do it yourself if you wish. It's good viewing for any aspiring make up artists.
Extra footage is a section of short features:
Zombie school. This last two minutes and shows how the extras playing the zombies were put through their paces.
On set with Robert Kirkman last three minutes and sees him watching a scene being filmed.
Hanging with Steven Yeun is a three minute feature with various short clips of one of the cast on set, introducing you to a few things.
Inside Dale's rv is of similar length and looks around the inside of one key prop.
On set with Andrew Lincoln is a short feature with him talking directly to camera about the show. You don't see anything much of the set, but it's a good chat.
Great show. Excellent dvd.

Sulla bellezza della serie, e in particolare di questa prima fulminante stagione, c'è poco da dire. In soli sei episodi (e quindi con una durata complessiva equivalente a quella di un paio di film lunghi) Darabont (regista, sceneggiatore e produttore) e Kirkman (soggettista del fumetto originario e qui, sporadicamente, sceneggiatore) ci immergono in un universo allucinante, dove comprendiamo un po' alla volta che questa volta il concetto (tanto caro al cinema catastrofico presente e passato) del "nulla sarà più come prima" in questa storia assume connotazioni talmente inquietanti e spaventose da arrivare a "contaminare" anche la nostra percezione del reale (si consiglia di assumere gli episodi a piccole dosi e, per carità, tenete lontani i bambini: hanno tempo a scoprire di quanto fa schifo il mondo).
Già, perchè alla fine più le storie di questa oscura saga vanno avanti, più ci si rende conto che l'universo raccontato altro non è che una tremenda allegoria della deriva sociale, culturale, economica ed etica che stiamo sperimentando di persona nel nostro mondo reale. SI capisce allora che i "sopravvissuti" della storia, sempre meno numerosi e sempre più disperati, sono in realtà i pochi portatori di caratteristiche umane paradigmatiche in un contesto generale (quello dei "morti che camminano") dove non ci sono più differenze, dove tutto quanto si riduce ad un uniforme e belluino rumore di fondo, dove contano solo più gli istinti primari.
Insomma, l'idea orignaria di Romero portata alle sue estreme e più elevate (se così possiamo dire) conseguenze.
L'edizione in blu ray evidenzia molto la sgranatura (voluta) della bella fotografia di Boyd, anche se in qualche caso viene da chiedersi se in parte questo video pastoso non sia anche dovuto ad un affrettato riversamento della pellicola originale (la versione in HD che avevo visto su SKY sembrava ben più brillante e nitida).
Menzione a parte meritano le strepitose e dosatissime musiche di Bear McCreary, giovane e promettente compositore di musica per cinema, videogiochi e tv, noto agli appassionati soprattutto per il suo grandioso lavoro nella serie di BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.
