So, has anyone watched the whole first season? The last episode finally brings the show to the point I think a lot of the original series fans want.
I know if I had started watching the original show from the beginning I wouldn't have made it through the first season. One of the things that makes this show more intersting to me is you don't experience the aspect of someone waking from a coma to a different world. This show addresses how things devolve to get to that point. I need that for willing suspension of disbelief even if it bores the majority of people who are inclined to watch a "zombie" movie or TV show or even a comic reader (and not, I'm not ripping on anyone who is so inclined). But hey, the original needed to draw people in fast instead of building to the point people like me might find it somewhat interesting (My intro to the original was the last 4 episodes of last season then I went back and watched all episodes just to determine it wasn't until late third and into the fourth for me to finall find it interesting if i had started watching from the beginning to begin with).
No spoilers from me but reasons I think fans of the original series might want to at least finish the first season of this one.
If you stopped watching after episodes 1 or 2 you didn't see how Daniel Salazar is the first character to actually appear interesting.
If you stopped after the third episode you missed hints at how things are going to unfold.
If you missed episode 5 you missed the introduction of the character I think is the best in the show so far. I don't think his name is mentioned in that episode but he is introduced through Nick (the heroin addicted son) and his name is Victor Strand. I haven't seen a character in the original series that even remotely resembles this guy.
And if you didn't make it to the finale you didnt see the shit finally hitting the fan (or maybe a head?).
If the first few episodes of the second season are handled well, this show may end up being better than the original.
