I never watched the Walking Dead as it came out. I recently started watching it back in mid-December and am currently on Season 10. Despite having binged that much in that short amount of time, Seasons 1 and 2 are so unexplainably nostalgic. Maybe it’s the lighting and grainy resolution of the camera or the believability and realism of the early apocalypse, when the zombies were the biggest threat.

I didn't start watching it until Telltale's Walking Dead game first came out (in 2013 I think). The game really got me into the universe and the show was so much better than I expected it to be. To this day, the first 4 seasons are so nostalgic to me, because season 4 was premiering by the time I caught up, but 1 and 2 especially.

It did for a lot of people. The quality dipped drastically during this time and never recovered. People say seasons 9 and 10 and 11 are so good blah blah but they aren't anywhere near the quality of the earlier seasons. The number of viewers from then to now proves my point. Back then it was extremely rare to run into a person who hasn't watched or at least heard of The Walking Dead. But now they look at you with a deer in the headlights look.

Season one is by far the most solid story telling in tv I’ve ever seen. Rick’s immediate panic when he wakes up, the way the zombies act, the group.. everything was perfect. Morgan was perfection as well, and led to the wonderful exposition through the walkie-talkie throughout the seasons, and most of season one just hits. The setup of the show during season one didn’t feel like it was dragging either, there was always something happening. God, I love the early seasons of this show.

19:20 I noticed that Morgan called them “walkers”, so that’s what Rick calls them too since it’s the first name he hears for them. But when Rick meets the Atlanta survivors they all call the zombies “geeks”. It’s not until Rick shows up and calls them “walkers” that they follow his lead and do the same

Having recently started TWD back to s1, I personally love how early after the collapse of society it takes place, I believe its been like a month ? People are not sure what to call the zombies, or even how to kill them, some still expect the millitary to return and help and everything just feels 'uncertain'. It's not ten years into the collapse where a new generation grew up in that new world and those that lived in the 'old' world have forgotten about it to move on

I think it takes place 6 or 8 weeks after Rick gets shot. The timeline of The Walking Dead is not exactly easy to map out. There's so many time jumps and points where multiple episodes take place over a single day or a couple days. But yeah it's amazing to see how things progressed from then to now.

Amazing video and also something about Merle I can’t believe flew over my head after rewatching this show so many times. I was rewatching from the beginning and noticed finally that In season 3 episode 13 Merle tells Michonne that he has a couple of calls he and Daryl would use when hunting that can give Daryl a heads up while Rick is out negotiating with the Governor. In later seasons Rick and Daryl both use whistles or calls to see if somebody near their group if split up is friend or foe or to just call something out. Such as season 5 episode 11. When Daryl and Rick recognized each other via Whistles in the Ally when they got split heading for Alexandria. Meaning Daryl probably taught Rick and probably the others the calls.

13:07 I think that it was played at a good time, because there is a deleted scene where the return a few days later and the Vatos are all dead. I think the plan was to show how in the apocalypse, no one can stay as a good guy forever. Season one is the only time that makes sense for them to meet an old folks home that has been protected.

I actually disagree about the Vatos storyline improving if they were villains. The fact that they turn out to be nice people helps with Season 2. If they were awful raiders, then the moral dilemma in S2 about killing Randal wouldn't be as impactful, because the characters could point out that their group was hurt in the past. Not knowing if Randal is just a kid caught up in things or if he's a murderous scumbag is part of the tension for that slower character-driven season. Plus personally, I liked the subversion of the group of Mexican guys/cholos actually being the good guys who are taking care of the elderly. It really plays into how people of racial minorities look after their own and put great value in the elderly as part of their community to be cherished, instead of just being burdens that are put into retirement homes. The Vatos were just workers at that place, but they stepped up when the elderly were abandoned.

The realism, immersion, and lines in the show are unmatched. I have yet to see a bad season in this show. Maybe the latter half of season four (besides when Rick bit that guy's jugular out). It shows how people would act if we lost everything that made us comfortable. The intro is also one of a kind.

Vatos was written by series as a whole creator Robert Kirkman so it's easy to see why it feels restricted, in the comic he doesn't really build up on Shane feeling like Rick took everything from him, and he kinda randomly goes off on Rick when he thinks the two are alone. He's killed by Carl while this happens because Shane becomes more hostile. It feels like Shane's only purpose there was to be dug up by Rick and put down after Rick learned that you turn walker no matter how you die.

I rewatched the whole show for the first time a year or so ago and let me tell you my perspective on season 1 reaaally changed on this rewatch. I love the show and always have but when watching it as it came out in my teens i always got excited as the scale of the show seemed to get bigger and bigger. I remember thinking back on the first 2 seasons as a boring watered down version and i never understood why people picked season 1 as their favourite. On my rewatch though i found myself being really fond of season 1-2 especially season 1, it just feels so quality and you could really tell a filmaker like frank darabont was behind it. There was a sense of horror with the soundtrack and the vibe that left when everyone seemed to become a badass. I really cant truly put my finger on the change of quality/vibe the show lost when frank darabont left and i still love the show after it but it was just different.

I think it makes sense how the walker’s behaviors changed. I mean they’re dead, and being like months or years into the virus would fire them out a bit.

The bad thing about walking dead is that the beginning of the apocalypse is like the first Episode. Of a series that has like a houndret seasons now.. They started way to fast in that "lets build a new world" world

I personally don’t think the walkers acting different is that jarring. The CDC episode plus later on with Milton’s experiments, it hints that early on when someone turns some of their old self is still there. Walkers being able to open doors, Jenny herself having some of her old memories, Ann not attacking Andrea at first and instead trying to just touch her., Walkers using tools like rocks to break things. It shows that early on the brain was still there but as time progresses and the body continues to decompose because they are dead they lose a lot of those older functions, not being able to run, not being able to try and climb things, open doors, explore. I remember in Season 2 there was a walker who walked into the RV and looked around. It leaned into the idea that the person they used to be was still in there and gets backed up by characters bringing it up in season 2 with Hershel and Season 3 with Milton

This was such a peculiar era of tv for me, I think lost was still around, I watched house, Breaking bad was airing, And this show, I associate these shows with each other. Something about them felt intertwined and i have no idea why

I know I’ve said this before on another video but I really enjoy your perspective of the show! I’m a day one walking dead fan and I’m really kind of the only person in my circle that watches it so I don’t have anyone to talk to about it. I’m about to binge watch all of these episodes while I do my spring cleaning. New subscriber 👏🏽👍🏽

I love this idea for a yt series! You can make 23 episodes on this series so far. +2 if you do "world beyond" but nobody watched that, or maybe just CRM and Jadis stuff. When you finished the 2 main shows, there will probably be more episodes of the 4 spinoffs.

I do love this season. Personally I’d say the fifth season edges it out for me, but that’s really because it plays off of so many things from this season to show how much Rick has changed. Shane really comes back to haunt him when he arrives in Alexandria, and I can’t wait to hear you talk about all of that.

As someone who couldn't Stand the hype of TWD, due to social media, even though I'm a zombie apocalypse advocate (lol), I Finally decided to see what all the hype was about during the 1st major world-wide lockdown. I was able to binge all the way up to midway through S9, and, boy... Was I blown away with these 6 episodes. The practical make-up, the character building, the setting.. I was hooked after episode 2. Many, as we know, fell off after the gruesome deletion of Abraham and Glen, but I was even More intrigued. Honestly, TWD was a damn great show.

The Walking Dead couldn’t have done it without Frank Darabont. If only he had stayed and AMC wasn’t greedy, the walking dead would have been on the same level as Breaking Bad.

Point of order: some in the first group called walkers "geeks", too, but I know what you mean. I think it should be appreciated, though, that they took the idea of different terms for walkers, and ran with it (sic)! Frank Darabont deserves so much credit IMHO for setting this up in such a way that the cast and the production team were all one family set on telling this story the best way they can. The first season, even in retrospect, deserves a 10/10, for me, because I have not seen any other series set so many storylines with so many hooks in such a short time frame. I agree with the majority of your appraisal, here, so I'm interested to see how this develops. I suspect we will cross swords a bit after S06! 😁

one of the things that made it harder for me to want to watch the later seasons is that, there's too many people. I enjoy the more smaller, tight group because it makes it more interesting to me. If there's too many people to follow it gets tougher to care cause we don't sit with their stories long enough.
