The first season of The Walking Dead, an American horror–drama television series on AMC, premiered on October 31, 2010, and concluded on December 5, 2010, consisting of six episodes. Developed for television by Frank Darabont, who wrote or co-wrote four of the season's six episodes and directed the pilot, the series is based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard.[1] It was executive produced by Darabont, Kirkman, David Alpert, Charles H. Eglee, and Gale Anne Hurd, with Darabont assuming the role of showrunner.

The season received very positive reviews from critics, and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama and received nominations at the 63rd Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards in several categories and won for Outstanding Prosthetic Make-up for a Series, Miniseries, Movie, or Special. The pilot episode received 5.35 million viewers, and the finale garnered six million viewers, including four million viewers among adults ages 18–49, making it the most viewed basic cable drama series at that time.[2] Based on its reception, AMC renewed the series for a second season consisting of 13 episodes, which premiered on October 16, 2011.[3]

The season follows former sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes, who awakens from his coma into a post-apocalyptic world filled with flesh-eating zombies, dubbed "walkers". Rick goes on a search to find his family and to discover the origins of the walker virus.

Plot

Sheriff's Deputy Rick Grimes is shot and wounded in an altercation with criminals. After slipping into a coma for an indeterminate amount of time, Rick awakens in an abandoned hospital to find a post-apocalyptic world overrun by infectious zombies, colloquially called "walkers". Rick discovers that his wife and son are missing and meets survivors Morgan Jones and his son Duane, who take him in and explain the situation to him. Rick leaves Morgan with a radio in order to keep him updated, as he heavily arms himself from the police station's armory and sets off on a perilous journey for Atlanta, Georgia. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is rumored to have set up a quarantined safe zone in the city and Rick believes that his family may be there. However, he soon discovers that the city has been overrun with walkers and is no longer safe. After being rescued from a horde of walkers by Glenn Rhee, Rick meets part of Glenn's group, Andrea, Theodore "T-Dog" Douglas, Morales and Jacqui who had set themselves up in an Atlanta department store. However, walkers attack, forcing them to escape while reluctantly leaving behind Merle Dixon, who had been handcuffed on the roof by Rick due to his unstable and violent behavior.

A few miles outside the city, in a camp with the rest of the survivors from Glenn's group, Rick's wife Lori and son Carl have been hiding with Shane Walsh, Rick's former police partner and best friend, who is now her lover after they presumed Rick to be dead. After escaping Atlanta and being reunited with Lori and Carl, Rick assumes a command position with Shane and must take responsibility not only for his wife and son but for the survival of the group as well. Part of the group led by Rick goes back into Atlanta to reclaim the weapons bag and to rescue Merle, but find that he has escaped somewhere by sawing off his hand. On their return, however, they find that their camp had been nearly overrun by walkers and Ed, Carol's husband, and Amy, Andrea's sister, have been killed. In the hope of finding answers and medical treatment for Jim, an injured member who sustained a walker's bite, the group plans to return to Atlanta and seek aid from the CDC.[1] After one family sets off alone to find their relatives, and Jim requests to be left on a road after beginning to succumb to the infection, the group continues towards the CDC.

In the CDC, all but one staff member, Dr. Edwin Jenner, have either fled or committed suicide. Dr. Jenner explains his research on the zombie apocalypse and that it has not yielded a cure. He explains that the French may have found a cure, as they were the only nation whose scientists stayed in their labs. Lack of fuel for the emergency generators soon initiates the building's safety protocols, which will trigger decontamination: an explosion designed to destroy the facility and prevent the escape of deadly diseases. Without hope for a cure and the future, Jenner elects to stay and die. Although they are nearly trapped in the building, Carol reveals a grenade she took from Rick's clothing, and the group is able to use it to blow out a window. Before the group leaves the building, Dr. Jenner whispers something into Rick's ear, while Andrea and Jacqui decide to stay with Jenner as they have also lost hope. Dale refuses to leave Andrea behind and elects to stay as well, so Andrea reverses her decision only to save Dale. She and Dale escape just before Jenner and Jacqui are killed by the building's self-destruction, as the survivors look on from outside.

Production

Conception

A set-up of The Walking Dead at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International in San Diego, California.

Robert Kirkman, who created the comic book series in 2003, says he had considered the idea of a Walking Dead television series, but never actively pursued it. "I certainly wanted it to happen, just because I knew it would be good for the book... I'm certainly not against adaptations, like some creators."[5] When Frank Darabont became interested in adapting the comic books for television, Kirkman said it was "extremely flattering" and went on to say that, "He definitely cares about the original source material, and you can tell that in the way he's adapting it. It's an extreme validation of the work... Never in a million years could I have thought that if Walking Dead were to ever be adapted that everything would be going this well. I think that that's all because of Frank."[5]

Darabont himself had been a fan of the zombie genre since seeing George A. Romero's 1968 film Night of the Living Dead when he was fourteen years old. ""Night of the Living Dead" had this weird vibe that was almost - it was like pornography... It had this marvelously attractive, disreputable draw... I loved it immediately."[6] Darabont recalls walking into a comic book store in Burbank, California and seeing The Walking Dead on the shelf in 2005. "Being that I've always had "the love of zombies genre," I of course grabbed it, took it home and read it, and immediately started pursuing the rights to it. I thought it would make a great TV show... I loved the idea of an extended, ongoing, serialized dramatic presentation set in the zombie apocalypse."[6] He described the process of developing the series and getting it set up at a network as "four years of frustration," and credits executive producer Gale Anne Hurd with finally getting the series on AMC. "I can't remember what the hell prompted her to read it [the script], but she said, "Wow, I really love this pilot you wrote. What are you doing with it?" I said I'd been trying to set it up forever... She said "I think AMC might be the place to take this." She did, and then bam! They were immediately interested. I had to credit Gale, her insight into marrying the material and the buyer."[6]

Writing

Darabont's original pilot script was split in half and embellished, making the first two episodes instead of one, "...just to slow the narrative down and dig into the characters more deeply, so it's not just plot-driven, event-driven stuff. You really want to drag these characters into the equation."[6] To write the remaining episodes of the season, Darabont recruited Charles H. Eglee, Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara, all of whom he had worked with while directing an episode of The Shield. Jack LoGiudice also joined the writing team, along with Robert Kirkman, also an executive producer. "I have the best of both worlds," says Kirkman. "It was a lot of fun writing Episode 104, and I'm hoping if it continues into Season 2, I'll be able to write more episodes."[5]

Filming

Principal photography for the pilot episode, "Days Gone Bye", began on May 15, 2010[7] with the subsequent five episodes beginning filming a few weeks later on June 2.[8] The first season was filmed in and around Atlanta, Georgia where the episodes were primarily set.[9]

Promotion

The show's official website released a motion comic based on the first issue of the original comic and voiced by Phil LaMarr.[10] The site also posted a making-of documentary primarily about the first episode, as well as a number of other behind-the-scenes videos and interviews. In the documentary, comic series creator and show executive producer Robert Kirkman as well as artist Charlie Adlard expressed that they were pleased with how faithful the show is to the comic and remark on the similarities between the actors and the comic's original character drawings.[11] Several scenes from "Days Gone Bye" were screened July 23, 2010 as part of the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International.[12] Hurd asserted that "[they] really are doing six one-hour movie",[13] and Darabont insisted that the series would closely reflect the development in the comics. "The path is a very strong template. But we're going to take every interesting detour we feel like taking. As long as were staying on the path of what Robert has done, I don't see any reason not to. If they have patience we'll eventually catch up to what Robert is doing."[13]

The Walking Dead debuted during the same week in 120 countries. "Days Gone Bye" premiered in Hong Kong on TVB Pearl on August 30, 2011,[14] while it expanded in international markets during the first week of November.[15] Two weeks prior to its official premiere in the United States, the contents of the episode leaked online.[16] As part of an expansive campaign to advertise and heighten anticipation for the premiere, international broadcasting affiliates of AMC and Fox coordinated a worldwide zombie invasion event proceeding days prior to premiere of the episode in the United States. The event occurred in twenty six cities worldwide,[17] and were hosted in select locations including the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., Palace of Westminster in London, Bosphorus Bridge in Istanbul, Acropolis of Athens in Athens, and the Museo del Prado in Madrid.[17][18] The campaign events commenced in Hong Kong and Taipei, and culminated in Los Angeles.[18]

The Walking Dead was included on the cover of the December 2010 edition of Entertainment Weekly, which featured Rick Grimes pointing a gun at a horde of walkers.[19] According to the journalist of the magazine, it "examines the past, present, and future" of the television franchise; "from the comic book's humble beginnings, to unlikely path to the small screen, to even more unlikely path as a bona fide hit."[19] Kirkman was ecstatic upon hearing of the news. "I've got to say—not to kiss your magazine's a– or anything—but when they called me and said Frank [Darabont] wanted to do the show, I was like, 'Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.' And then when AMC was like, 'We're picking up the show,' I was like, 'Yeah, alright, whatever.' When they actually started shooting the pilot I was like, 'Well, this is kind of real, this is neat.' But when they called me and said, 'Your show's on the cover of Entertainment Weekly,' I think that was the first time I was like, 'Oh my god, I can't believe this is happening to me!'"[20]

Reception

Critical response

Early reactions to the first season of The Walking Dead were largely positive, garnering "universal acclaim" from a score of 82 out of 100 on Metacritic.[27] On Rotten Tomatoes, 92% of 25 critics gave it a positive review, with an average score of 7.3/10. The site's consensus states, "Blood-spattered, emotionally resonant, and white-knuckle intense, The Walking Dead puts an intelligent spin on the overcrowded zombie subgenre."[28] Following the pilot episode's debut, TV Guide's Matt Roush called the show "a stark and harrowing survival parable ... visually stunning ... and daring in its artful use of silence."[29] Following the second episode, Simon Abrams from Slant Magazine awarded the show three and a half stars out of a possible four; "To say that Darabont has kicked his series off with a bang would be a serious understatement ... [he] has fashioned a fully realized alternate reality and it's a thrilling thing to experience."[30]

In response to the season finale, James Poniewozik of Time magazine gave the first season of The Walking Dead a glowing review stating, "the show has an urgency and bravery that make it something special".[31] Josh Jackson of Paste magazine also praised the season by writing, "the characters are worth caring about" despite "occasional stilted monologues, quick tempers and unfortunate stereotypes".[32] Some reviews were mixed, including one from Kofi Outlaw of Screen Rant who concluded, "The Walking Dead still hasn't really defined itself as anything more than a vague survival story about the human condition" but added, "you can be sure I'm one of those Dead-heads already chomping at the bit for season 2".[33] Sean McKenna of TV Fanatic also offered mixed criticism saying the first season "had its ups and downs" noting that the second season should focus on "a more specific story arc and strengthening of the character development".[34] Logan Hill of New York magazine was more critical, claiming the episodes contained "atrocious dialogue" and "a lot of plot machinery that has been contrived to create action suspense but ... hasn't really moved the story itself anywhere in particular", though he admits the fifth episode showed "flashes of promise".[35]
