So far the pilot episode is the best, other than that, unnecessary side stories, that won't add any value to the main plot. I think the writers are just recycling the walking dead again, and trying to squeeze some revenues as much as they can, also emphasizing on the "no one is safe" cliche used in the walking dead. Another thing I was disturbed with was the obvious direction episode 7 "left behind" was taking since I know HBO has no... how should I put this?... No boundaries. I think with this bland and slow pace story the show will not survive for another season. But hey! This is HBO they have the money to keep a dead fish in a tank. Also how dare you rate this show putting it in par with great shows like Breaking Bad???

Lastly, Go play the game, it's way better, you can really feel how sincere its creators were when they made it.
