Generally, a score of 80
from a total of 100 is too high for a movie review, but for some people’s
point of view, Walking Dead Season 2 was a debacle. These were personal views
drawn from too much expectation. A debacle for a description may or may not be
actually real. The sudden rout of the series from its magical first season was
pretty much understandable. Great things were expected from Walking Dead Season
2 which started airing in Oct 2011, a year after Walking Dead Season 1
premiered. More exhilarating plots were anticipated, and an elevated plot was
assumed. Although, the production team had maintained the same high levels of
craftsmanship shown in Walking Dead Season I, people were not just satisfied
with the same fighting routines, the same presentation of the conflicts, and
the seemingly dragging human-zombie confrontation. The plot was relatively slow
at the first part of the season. Walking Dead Season 2 has introduced
easy-resolved conflicts in its 13 episodes that diminished the presentation of
each character quickly.
Debacle may be too much
of a word to describe the feat of Walking Dead Season 2. The season’s production
team has coped with more intensified pressure, meeting the demands of an
increased 9 million fans who watched the final episode of the season. However,
in a technical view point, Walking Dead Season 2 offered the same magic as
Walking Dead Season 1; although it was not just enough to level the high expectation
of its viewers across the globe. A debacle means total failure, which could not
pass as a widely accepted description of Walking Dead Season 2 at all.
In Walking Dead Season
2, Rick Grimes has successfully escaped out of the DDC which exploded as part
of the building’s safety protocol. With the inaudible whisper from the last surviving
Doctor, Dr Jenner, Grimes was on a new challenge towards uncovering the mystery
of this post-apocalyptic world filled with dead people walking. The scenes in
the series presented the dilemma of the characters between considering Zombies
as human beings or continuously kill the walkers without mercy, to defeat the
walker’s growing force and dominance in this world. The scenes maintained the
human side of the characters presenting sex, in the midst of a chaotic
environment with imminent danger created by the Zombie existence. Fear, anger,
jealousy, selfishness, and concern for fellow survivors were presented in a
more credible way. The addition of five more writers to the production team to
its original writers may have created a change in the production, but over-all,
the second season was as successful as the first.
Technically, I have
maintained high praises for the Walking Dead Season 2 production, but my friends
have different outlook than mine. These are technicalities that people may have
different perception to. You on the other hand can maintain an open mind,
considering the realities of human existence in a hypothetically zombie world
and your own personal touch to the story if you were the show’s main runner.
Today, Walking Dead Series maintains its reputation to be the most viewed TV
show on cable with viewership getting higher every season.
