In the years since, however, things have taken a disheartening turn. The gripping action of the series, adapted from the popular comic books by Robert Kirkman, helped shoot The Walking Dead into the upper echelon of television, sitting amongst prestige picks of the era like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, and Mad Men. All anyone could chat about at the work watercooler was what crazy, amazing, or insane thing happened to Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) the night before. And those who didn't immediately jump on the Walking Dead bandwagon got more than enough peripheral exposure to feel like they were already in on the fandom. When AMC's The Walking Dead first premiered on Halloween night 2010, it felt as if the world stopped turning and television lovers across the globe turned into zombies themselves - ones hungry for more episodes of the groundbreaking post-apocalyptic horror series.
