The Walking Dead

By: Makayla Pierce

The Walking Dead is a horror/drama series about the “end of the world” because of a zombie apocalypse. The story follows a man named Rick Grimes who works as a police officer in Georgia with his partner Shane Walsh. 

Both officers were in an active shootout when Rick was struck on the shoulder by a bullet, was rushed to the hospital and subsequently fell into a coma. He was in and out of consciousness for about a week, and then for three weeks he was out cold. 

After that period, he wakes up in the hospital, dehydrated and starving, and calls for the nurse, but nobody comes. He decides that he can’t wait any longer and leaves his room, where he finds deceased patients lining the halls, and seemingly rotting patients still walking around. 

From there, he journeys into the city of Atlanta in search for his wife Lori, his son Carl, and safe haven promised by the military, only to find more 'walkers' as they call them, completely riddling the streets. The perilous story continues as Rick has to navigate through the loss of his home, leading a group of survivors, and protecting his pregnant wife and toddler son from the harsh realities of the new world. 

The series is action-packed- we give it a 5 star rating.
