Well AMC makes breaking bad, correct? So maybe it won't be terrible, especially if they kinda stick with the kirkman stories and how they progress.
The thing with the comic is it so perfectly fluctuates between "everything is fine" to "bad shit" to "everything is fine but something bad might happen" to "Really bad shit" and repeat. Of course there is more character development and all that but I think if the show at least kinda followed that and didn't get all "Oh its man fault for zombies" self rightous like so many other zombie movies, I think it should be pretty good.
Of course, I don't really have cable lol so we'll see if I get to see it.
