I'm a huge fan of the series - probably my favourite program on the box at the moment.
Yes, the second series is a lot slower, but I'm finding it REALLY tense. I've just finished watching the first season of Falling Skies and can't help but compare. I enjoyed Falling Skies but Walking Dead really gets me on the edge of my seat which Falling Skies failed to do completely.
I'm up-to-date with Walking Dead and hanging out for the next episode. Shit is getting real!
I fucking HATE Falling Skies. The acting is shit. The story is so namby pamby, lets all pray together, sugary bullshit that vomiting is the only real option. Token black, hispanic etc etc
Fucking ALIENS HAVE TAKEN OVER and no one even says 'Oh bum!'. Thats TNT for you. Homespun sugary shit. I forced myself to watch the entire first season and now I wish I had spent the time strangling the cat.
