Last week, The Walking Dead opened their season by outdoing themselves, in terms of both zombie-lurching set pieces and horrendous splatterage.

The Walking Dead: What Lies Ahead – Dork Review
Smash-hit zombie series The Walking Dead disappeared after only six episodes last year, which must have been torture for the Americans and, you know, business as usual for the UK, but now it’s back for a superlong 13 episode run, albeit split into two chunks in Doctor Who style.

Which is good, as although I like Andrew Lincoln, a whole series of him staring dejectedly would’ve got old. So, … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Days Gone Bye – Dork Review
Possibly the most eagerly awaited TV series debut of the year, certainly in dork circles, it’s The Walking Dead. Based on the popular Image Comics series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard, it’s a classic zombie apocalypse chronicle. And with showrunning by Frank Darabont (him of … [Read more...]
