In a culture where shows like Jersey Shore, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo engross TV viewers everywhere, it's important to acknowledge programming that engages audiences with clever writing and stimulating material. Every so often the networks get it right and support a series that is a breath of fresh air with clearly developed characters, perfectly cast actors, and a luring and often intricate plot. In appreciation of such shows, I have started this commentary.

The Walking Dead

I've been hesitant to blog this show because I'm so wrapped up in it at times I'm not sure I  would know what to say. I'll admit that I wasn't on board with The Walking Dead from day one. It's one of those shows that I had heard was good but wasn't really interested in. I have a friend though who was adamant I give it a shot...and I do mean adamant. So when the third season began I decided to start the series on Netflix and I couldn't get enough of it. I caught up to the third season very quickly and found it hard not to watch each episode live (I'm mostly a Tivo girl who likes to fast forward through commercials).
 
I'm clearly behind in blogging the new season, but I do plan to catch up on posts quickly as I think I've found a commentary method that I'm happy with. I'm also really excited to add a second show to this blog because I've been meaning to do so for a long time. There are still many series out there that are wonderful to watch, but for now American Horror Story and The Walking Dead are just spectacular.
