      Audience Reviews for The Walking Dead: Season 1

      • Apr 22, 2023
        I decided to rewatch the show again after i stopped watching it around season 5 i believe my reason was it was dragging with boring characters and repeated scenes as the show kept on and slowly its started to eliminate the horror aspect of it you know the (Zombies) which what the whole show should be about. Anyway, after completing the first season which in my opinion was the best season in the whole show especially the first episode which was intriguing and tense, i really did enjoy the whole first season even though i remember what will happen in most of it but still kept me surprised and interested, i only wished its as interesting in the next seasons but i know its not but again i am willing to give it another chance this time since the show has ended. So 1st season for me is 9/10.

        Iconic season introducing us to lovable characters.
      • Apr 06, 2023
        Poor visual effects, which doesn't matter when everything else in this season was gold.
      • Apr 02, 2023
        Una primera temporada con una dosis de acción , violencia,sangre y zombis bien medida junto a una buena historia que se centra en hallar a su familia en medio de un apocalipsis zombie .
      • Mar 25, 2023
        I absolutely love this show so much. It's definitely one of my favorite tv shows and has such good characters even in just the first season.
      • Mar 24, 2023
        A brilliant season with no shortage of fear, gore and emotion; The Walking Dead's first series is thrilling, provocative, fast-paced and very well written.
      • Mar 17, 2023
        Amazing first season
      • Mar 09, 2023
        Very good first season. Well paced and action packed. Some characters were meh but that is a given in a zombie show. Enjoyed it very much
      • Mar 06, 2023
        Series about humans trying to survive a Zombie Apocalypse. Cliched theme. Well done. Too few zombies. 6th (last) episode of Season One got silly.
      • Feb 21, 2023
        Such a nostalgic season. I forgot how good this season was. It features one of the greatest pilot episodes in television history and it doesn't stop there. Every episode is fantastic in its own ways. You care about every single character, including the side characters. The acting is incredible and the two that stand out the most are Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes and Jon Bernthal as Shane Walsh. They elevate this season even more then it is. Every episode is paced very well and the storylines keep you engaged for the entire hour. Incredible start to a great show. Can't wait to continue my rewatch of The Walking Dead.
