The Walking Dead - Season 2
The second season begins with Rick and his group of survivors leaving Atlanta. They decide Fort Benning will be their next destination. As the fight to stay alive intensifies and personal rivalries continue to fuel, the group struggles to hold on to their humanity in a time where slim chances are all that is left. Carol, in her grief, withdraws, as does Daryl, who claims that the group is 'broken'. Hershel, reacting to what has happened, orders Rick and his group to leave immediately, before disappearing to grieve for his family. Rick and Glenn go searching for Hershel and discover him drinking heavily in a local tavern.

The action moves along briskly and there are credible attempts to make the survivors of a zombie apocalypse more than a collection of types.

The show's main problem is its lack of compelling characters. It isn't a question of whether or not they're "likable." They are likable. That's the problem, actually - they're likable to a fault.

Six million zombiephiles watched the finale of the first season and those 6 million will not want to miss Sunday's opener, which is excellent and appropriately disgusting. The larger concern is the future.

The last three episodes of season two of The Walking Dead are among the best cable television that's aired so far this year.

I still need convincing that The Walking Dead' is anything more than a hackneyed apocalyptic melodrama with borscht-like guts spilling out all over the place.

Dead returns very much alive and kicking, the gut-wrenching highlight of another busy TV weekend.

I will say this, there is one hell of a cliffhanger that I didn't see coming.

Coming out of the starting blocks, at least, the show is still clinging to its complexity, darkness and humor.

There is so little depth on display that if you replaced every single member of the cast with an animal you'd have essentially the same show. You'd probably have a better one.

Season 2 so far is still a watchable feast of decayed human flesh and frayed nerve endings.
