I'm always fascinated by people who think the show is about zombies. The show is a series of moral dilemmas that each of us would have to face in an apocalyptic scenario. I think it's mentally and morally challenging to play along with the characters and put yourself in their shoes....great show and superbly written/produced.
I know exactly what you mean. I try to tell people who haven't watched that the Zombies are secondary. It's not like a horror flick but as you say, more about moral dilemmas. Some very emotional scenes too(ie Rick's reaction to Maggie coming out with baby Judith; Darryl finding Merle turned.)
I think so far, the writing and acting has been excellent. I hope season 5 doesn't disappoint. It's not for everyone. Everyone has different taste, but for me... my favorite show.
