I think the show is enjoyable, but it's almost painfully predictable. And I wish there weren't so many plot holes/things that don't make any sense. I know, I know, it's a zombie show. You're not supposed to nitpick. But it's a zombie show on AMC (home of Mad Men!!), I expected better.

Also surprised by how slow the pace is with this show, considering that there's only 6 episodes in the first season.

Things that don't make sense:
How come some of the zombies can barely shuffle around, and others can climb over fences like it's no big deal despite seemingly being at the same stage of decay?
Why are they sticking so close to a major city that is absolutely OVERRUN with zombies instead of stocking up and heading to deserted areas?
Why did redneck dude cut off his hand when he could have hacked at the rusty, worn down looking piping or just broken/cut his thumb to wiggle out of the cuffs?
Why is no one explaining how all this zombie stuff started out in the first place?
If the sheriff's office where Mr. Main Sheriff guy was from was still fully stocked with guns and ammo, why don't they head to other outlying suburbs to load up on weapons and gear?
Why the hell did Asian dude drive all that way with the alarms blaring?
While I fully expect a significant amount of reverting back to traditional gender roles in times of apocalyptic crisis, I don't buy for a second that 100% of the washing would be done by women while one man stands around smoking a cigarette and another man sloshes around playfully looking for frogs. How does that make any sense? And the lady with the gun doesn't even know that the safety is on despite currently having to fight for her life? Not sure what exactly they're trying to illustrate with the gender dynamics on this show.


Overall I'm enjoying the show but disappointed in its lack of depth, the stereotypical roles, the things that happen simply for shock value. I thought this would be like... I dunno, really awesome. But so far it seems to be following in the same vein as a lot of other zombie movies/shows rather than elevating itself and standing apart.

As for episode 3, I thought the first scene was the most gripping and horrifying one but it kinda just became lackluster from there on.
