Cool show that I thought started with a lot of promise. The Zombie Apocalypse is a story backdrop that has been soiled and used-up like one of those gross public bathroom towel-loop hand dryers.
Being original in this category is a tall-order, so I was impressed with the believability of the first few shows. Unfortunately there's too much crying and mexican stand-offs to make this a truly "Must-watch" (in zombie voice) TV show. Kudos to AMC for bringing another risqué program to the masses, Walking Dead for it's for brutal gore and Mad Men for Don Draper's womanizing.
Take a look at Daniel Kanemoto's fan-made title sequence from the site Art of the Title Sequence
Really cool animation and breakdown. His entire portfolio can be found here
The actual main titles used in the show are also well done. They blend in stealthily and move at a swift pace. Which is how you would have to behave if you lived in a zombie world.
Some sequences in Walking Dead made me think of World War Z, an awesome book that hopefully will translate well to the big-screen. I highly recommend reading this little ditty...
