To start I gave this movie a 5, which to me means its good enough to watch but your life won't change if you don't. 6-9 scales up from you should give it a try to your world will get rocked. 10 should be reserved for movies or shows that make such an impression on you that lasts a lifetime. For many and rightly so a movie like The Godfather is a 10.

This series' only clout is how well its adapted from a popular video game. Take that element away and let it stand on its own merit you will have to admit its only a decent sci-fi drama.

I have to say I was biased towards episode 3 based on the buzz over the scenes. But it is HBO after all and anything goes. That kind of content is to be expected. I came to really like that episode despite what some people may feel. It was well done and very touching, excuse the pun.

I really liked the Joel character played by PP who took his job seriously. Everyone else is just reading lines or giggling through the script. Even the zombies are not terribly convincing.

Once more, a score of 10 should mean the show cannot do any better than it is. A 10 should mean you can watch it many more times and still get a thrill like your first viewing. Sadly I think most people overrated this and watered down the value of the 10 stars. 10 should be precious people don't give it away like chewing gum.
