I don't know what's it about zombies, but they always make a good pitch for a story. Even better, if the idea is turned into an actually great series.
Zombies were enough reason already to start watching this show, but the awesome teasers and positive feedback grew my excitement for this further.

The Walking Dead (2010-)
Developed by Frank Darabont
Based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard, The Walking Dead explores the post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. The story begins as Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), a police officer, wakes from a coma in an abandoned hospital to look for help and find his family.
And that was an intense season one marathon. It was everything I've expected, and more. The first few minutes only would make you catch your breath. It definitely did not lack suspense and thrill with so many terrific scenes with the walkers/geeks. The narrative would get you hooked in an instant. It also had the right amount of moving back stories that would make you empathize, and identify even, with the characters. Likewise, the production design was too incredible. The cinematography, and the special effects would leave you in awe. The zombies were made disturbingly realistic, it would make you cringe every time they devour their preys or as they get gruesomely killed by the survivors. Indeed, it deserved every good review it received.
I cannot wait for the second season.
And oh, hi, Andrew Lincoln and Steven Yeun.
