The premise
Sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes awakens from a coma to find a post-apocalyptic world dominated by flesh-eating zombies. He sets out to find his family and encounters many other survivors along the way.
Horror Vault's take
When sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes wakes from a coma, the world he knew is gone — overrun by the undead and stripped of the social order that once held people together. Reuniting with loved ones becomes a desperate quest across a ravaged America, where the living often prove just as dangerous as the dead. Season after season, a ragged band of survivors must decide how much of their humanity they can afford to keep. Based on Robert Kirkman's acclaimed graphic novel series, this landmark show redefined what long-form horror storytelling could look like on television.
