It's a pretty disappointing series, especially considering that they have 79 comic books to work off from. The first episode was decent and the very final 4 minutes of the forth episode where the "attack" takes place is amazing. The forth episode also happened to be written by the comic book creator. The main death that happens at the end is also probably the only death I cared about compared to everyone else who died.
I find the pacing of the show horrible and the character build up not as good as it should be. I just don't care what happens to half of these people and it doesn't help that Rick is pretty boring so far. It's not like it's the actor's fault, he doesn't have a lot to work with really besides being the caring group leader role. Maybe I just find it annoying that a certain someone is still alive which is probably one of the most important drive into shaping who Rick becomes later on.
I am assuming they played it safe this season because ending the season off with the certain someone dying is pretty dramatic to end off with and in case they didn't get picked up for a second season, that would be a horrible point to leave it off at.
I really hope things start to pick up in the second season so maybe the audience can get SOMEWHAT attached to the characters.
