I had only seen a meme or two and had no idea what the show was. It initially came off as a little…wholesome…for my taste and I couldn’t figure out why it was so popular given how PG it seemed. I stopped watching mid episode and restarted later in the day when I had some downtime, thinking I’d just finish out the episode and be done.
Then that fucking ending scene happened.
Anyways now I’ve binged all the episodes and am starting the comic. I’m excited for a wild ride but I honestly don’t think I’m ready for how brutal it’s going to be.
This is the exact reaction I had to the first episode. “Why is everyone so hyped about this? This is the most generic superhero show I’ve ever seen.” Then the final minutes hit you like a ton of bricks. The bait-and-switch was so well executed.
The fact that Robert kirkmans name was on the title should’ve gave everyone the heads up that this was gonna be something different
