The Walking Dead
So I do not watch a great deal of television on a regular basis but I do watch The Walking Dead. I like watching it because the season begins in October has a holiday pause and then resumes in February. I gives me a motivation every Sunday to make sure I have all of my homework done before it begins so I can watch it entirely. Although it is a bit violent I enjoy it because it integrates key core values. Amongst them are loyalty, family, and never giving up even when the odds are against you.
Even when the world is filled with walkers (aka zombies) not all humans can be trusted. I think this a great depiction of the real world based on the idea that you need to trust but not trust blinding in certain situations. I also enjoy watching The Walking Dead because it builds the characters evolution over time and how they all being something unique to the group. Yet I have my favorites they are
Daryl, Carol and Maggie. They all are strong physically and are key assets to the group but they have many internal conflicts that they avoid.

The walking dead is such an awesome show! Obviously zombies will not be a realistic problem for our world, but the human interaction depicted is true of what happens during times of trouble. I think that the show does a great job of showing what happens when things go bad and how trusting others can be necessary to your survival. I am glad you liked the show!
ReplyDeleteI like that it gives you the incentive to do your homework! That's clever-I think I'll try something like that! Not only do you not have to do your homework while watching it then, but you can also enjoy it more, being rest assured that it's complete. I've watched quite a bit of "The Walking Dead," but need to catch up. Herschel was my favorite (like I said, I need to catch up, but I know his fate). I couldn't stand Daryl at first, but he definitely grew on me. I agree with you and Cameron when it comes to the dynamics of the relationships and trust. I don't know if the show is suuuuper deep, but enjoyable, regardless.
