What is The Walking Dead about?
The Walking Dead is a gruesome tale of struggle and survival after a zombie apocalypse breaks out. It revolves around the life of Sheriff Deputy Rick Grimes who wakes up from his coma only to learn that there is a worldwide zombie apocalypse ongoing. Grimes later becomes a leader of a group of survivors from Atlanta, Georgia, and has to make sure that all the group members are kept protected from the "walkers" (zombies).
Each of the survivors has to make sure that they survive the horror of being bitten or scratched by the walkers or else they end up getting turned into one too. Not just the walkers, but the group of survivors also have to protect themselves from the other group of survivors who are willing to use any means necessary to stay alive. To summarize it all, it's basically 'survival of the fittest'. The show is based on the comic book of the same name created by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard.
