The Walking Dead

Former Sheriff Rick Grimes wakes up from a coma in a world devastated by an outbreak that turns the dead into hungry walkers. Searching for his family, Rick leads a group of survivors through a United States turned into a no man's land where living humans are often more dangerous than zombies. Eleven seasons that explore the type of society built by survivors when the rules of the old world no longer apply.

The Walking Dead was extended more than it deserved, but its first four seasons are first-rate television terror and social drama. The prison, Woodbury, the Governor: moments of television that are hard to forget.
