The Walking Dead starts as it means to go on with an awesome opening scene that [SPOILER: Highlight to read] sees Andrew Lincoln’s Officer Grimes blow away a zombie-child, [/SPOILER] for all intents and purposes laying down the ground rules for what is to follow. It’s almost like in that one scene Frank Darabont and co. are saying “Forget everything you know about television because you’ve never seen television like this before!” And they’d be right.

I’m not going to go into detail about the plot in this review because I don’t want to spoil the episode for those like me that haven’t read the comic (yes, I ashamed to admit that it’s one comic I have never had the pleasure of reading), but suffice to say this first episode marks the series as the premiere show on television today… There I’ve said it. The Walking Dead is THE best show on TV. Period.

But why is The Walking Dead so good? There’s only one answer for that. Frank Darabont. Episode one is both written and directed by Darabont, and you can tell. There have been many big-name movie directors who’ve turned their hand to directing television in the past, but on those occasions it has always seemed like their vision has been compromised for television – both in scale, scope and budget. But not here. Here Frank Darabont has made a pilot episode that has all the hallmarks of his critically acclaimed movies – there’s an epicness to every shot, and Darabont makes some bold directorial choices, especially considering this is television, with a number of overhead crane shots that wouldn’t look out of place in the grandest of Hollywood blockbusters. That’s what’s key to why The Walking Dead for me is now the best show on television – there’s has been NO COMPROMISE in bringing this comic to the television, well none that shows on the screen at least.
But it’s not all down to Darabont – yes he wrote the teleplay and yes he directs it like a Hollywood movie, but there’s also a GREAT cast at work in this episode. I’ll freely admit I have never been a fan of Andrew Lincoln. Well until now that is. I don’t know what happened to Lincoln between the last time I saw him (in the ITV series Afterlife) and here, but his performance literally blew me away. From the moment his character awakes from his coma that has seen him sleep through the zombie apocalypse, to the final scene on the streets of Atlanta, Lincoln’s performance was truly mesmerising. But whilst the first episode is all about Lincoln’s Rick Grimes, there are two superb guest stars – fellow Brit actor Lennie James as Morgan Jones and Adrian Kali Turner as his son Duane. Their brief appearance – bringing Grimes’ up to speed on what has happened while he’s been ‘asleep’ – has an incredibly touching emotion core that I won’t spoil here, but lets just say James matches Lincoln beat for beat and brings the same sort of gravitas to this role as he has done to many of his other television appearances. the walking dead episode 1

Seriously, I could go on and on and on about the cast, the direction and the awesomeness of the show overall, but that would make for a ridiculously long review, however… I can’t finish this review without mentioning the superb score by Bear McCreary. Like everything else about this extended “Directors Cut” pilot episode of The Walking Dead, McCreary’s score is spot on – a balance of extended periods of silence, eerie dramatics,and a understated grandiosity that matches Darabont’s epic direction perfectly. As for the closing music – Wang Chung’s “Space Junk” – well that’s just sublime. the walking dead episode 1
Ach nach bhfuil sé síos go léir a Darabont - tá scríobh sé ar an teleplay agus stiúrann sé tá sé cosúil le scannáin Hollywood, ach níl freisin teilgthe MÓIRE ag obair sa chlár seo. Feicfidh mé a admháil go saor ní raibh mé ar lucht leanúna na Andrew Lincoln. Bhuel go dtí anois é sin. Níl a fhios agam cad a tharla Lincoln idir an uair dheireanach a chonaic mé é (sa tsraith ITV Afterlife) agus anseo, ach ar a fheidhmíocht literally blew me away. Ón am codlata a awakes charachtar as a Bheirnicé go bhfuil le feiceáil air tríd an apocalypse zombie, an radharc dheireannach ar shráideanna na Atlanta, bhí feidhmíocht Lincoln's mesmerizing go fírinneach. Ach ag an am céanna tá an chéad chlár ar fad faoi Rick Lincoln's Grimes, tá dhá réalta aoi superb - gcomh-Brit aisteoir Lennie mar Morgan James Jones agus Adrian Kali Turner mar a mhac Duane. Tá croí emotion thar íor nach mbeidh mé spoil anseo, ach ligeann rá ach James matches Lincoln buille ar bhuille agus tugann an saghas céanna - a chuma gairid - ag tabhairt Grimes 'suas chun dlús a chur ar an méid a tharla fad a bhí sé ina chodladh' den gravitas leis an ról sin mar a bhfuil sé déanta ar go leor de chuid láithrithe teilifíse eile. na heachtra siúlóide marbh 1

Mais ce n'est pas tout le long de Darabont - oui, il a écrit l'adaptation télévisée et oui il dirige comme un film hollywoodien, mais il ya aussi un casting bien au travail dans cet épisode. Je vais le dire franchement, je n'ai jamais été un fan de Andrew Lincoln. Eh bien jusqu'à présent ce qui est. Je ne sais pas ce qui s'est passé à Lincoln entre la dernière fois je l'ai vu (dans la série ITV Afterlife) et ici, mais sa performance m'a littéralement coupé le souffle. A partir du moment de son caractère se réveille de son coma qui l'a vu dormir toute l'apocalypse zombie, à la scène finale dans les rues d'Atlanta, performance Lincoln était vraiment fascinant. Mais tandis que le premier épisode est tout au sujet de Lincoln Rick Grimes, il ya deux guest stars superbe - Brit collègues acteur Lennie James comme Morgan Jones et Adrian Kali Turner comme son fils Duane. Leur brève apparition - la mise Grimes au courant de ce qui s'est passé alors qu'il a été «endormi» - a un noyau émotion incroyablement touchante que je ne vais pas gâter ici, mais permet simplement de dire James matches Lincoln battu pour battu et apporte le même genre de gravitas à ce rôle comme il l'a fait pour plusieurs de ses autres apparitions à la télévision. l'épisode Walking Dead 1

Aber es ist nicht alles auf Darabont - ja, er schrieb das Fernsehspiel und ja, er leitet sie wie ein Hollywood-Film, aber es gibt auch eine große Besetzung bei der Arbeit in dieser Episode. Ich werde frei zugeben, ich habe noch nie ein Fan von Andrew Lincoln gewesen. Nun, bis jetzt, was ist. Ich weiß nicht, was mit Lincoln zwischen dem letzten Mal sah ich ihn (in der ITV-Serie Afterlife) und hier, aber seine Leistung buchstäblich hat mich umgehauen. Von dem Augenblick an seinem Charakter erwacht aus dem Koma, die ihn gesehen hat, Schlaf durch die Zombie-Apokalypse, auf die letzte Szene auf den Straßen von Atlanta, Lincolns Leistung war wirklich faszinierend. Aber während der ersten Folge dreht sich alles um Lincolns Rick Grimes, gibt es zwei hervorragende Gaststars - Landsmann Schauspieler Lennie James als Morgan Jones und Adrian Turner Kali als seinen Sohn Duane. Ihre kurzen Auftritt - bringen Grimes 'bis zu Geschwindigkeit auf, was passiert ist, während er's' schlafend '- hat eine unglaublich berührend Emotion Kern, dass ich nicht verderben wird hier, aber können nur sagen, James Spiele Lincoln Schlag für Schlag und bringt die gleiche Art der Seriosität dieser Rolle, als er viele seiner anderen Fernsehauftritten getan hat.
