I only started watching after Dish dropped AMC from their lineup. So count me as one of those. I've got fed up with the fox, nbc, abc,etc. canceling shows that I was interested. So I decided not to,watch them anymore except for a few shows like supernatural. Anyway, I watched the first season and got hooked very quickly. I thought those first six episodes were outstanding. The second season I watched and was less impressed about,the farm. I guess they needed to develop the characters and they did. I am going to concentrate now on my least favorite character-Lori. She has made some stupid moves. First stupid move was to get involved with Shane, the psycho. I do not remember if this was the second but why will you take a car all by yourself and try to get your husband. Above everything she already knew that she was pregnant. I was wishing that she got killed or a zombie got her. So that I did not have to continue watching her stupidity. She is the one character that just follow whatever the husband said. In a way I think she instigated more Rick to get rid of Shane. It was kind of evil worse than getting bitten by a zombie. Then there is the constant looking for Carl because he is not be found when thing go wrong. Can you take,care of a boy who is not even a teenager. In an indirect way, Dale was killed by her negligence of this little boy. I really dislike the Carl character. To me he needs to be sat down and given a major speech. Now we can see her negligence coming out in the prison.
I love the show and will keep watching. I dare to say that this is a better show than Lost.
