The first episode of The Walking Dead is the definition of a perfect hook, as it despite its 1 hour runtime, leaves you desperate for more!
Of all the different Zombie apocalypse introductions, this stands to me as one of the best one! Rick waking up in a hospital bed, and slowly discovering the state of the world, is so brilliante and full of atmosphere! It allows for the viewer to sink in what is happening as we are probably just as shocked and confused as Rick is!
The very first scene is equally iconic!
Everything this episode does, is some of the things this show does BEST! It will leave you on edge right till the credits roll! It has everything you would expect balancecing great atmosphere with horror, gore and great characterwork and storytelling!
We can all argue how the show turns out, but the pilot here is PERFECT and remains one of the best episodes in the series!
