People are buzzing about a new zombie series on Netflix that’s capturing attention and winning over fans, many of whom believe it’s even better than the long-running series, The Walking Dead.

The Walking Dead first made waves in 2010, quickly becoming a fan-favorite with its thrilling portrayal of life in a world overrun by the undead, known as ‘walkers.’

It spawned numerous spin-offs and video games, leaving a lasting impression on horror enthusiasts.

While many devotees of The Walking Dead hold firm that no other show matches its intensity and storytelling, this new series is giving it a run for its money.

An excited fan took to social media, proclaiming: “This is the best zombie show ever filmed in my opinion.” Meanwhile, another viewer chimed in, “Really enjoyed this show. Great characters with non-stop action and tension.”

Another fan added their thoughts: “So far, it’s what The Walking Dead should be,” reflecting the sentiments of many who feel this show addresses gaps left by its predecessor.

Even renowned author Stephen King, known as the ‘King of Horror,’ expressed his admiration for the show. He remarked, “No long, fraught discussions. No endless flashbacks, because there’s no back story.

No grouchy teens. Dialogue is spare. Much shot with a single handheld camera, very fluid. Showrunners could learn a lot from this.”

Crafted by Karl Schaefer and John Hyams, this gripping series features a talented ensemble cast including Jaime King, Justin Chu Cary, Christine Lee, Sal Velez Jr., Kelsey Flower, Erika Hau, Gwynyth Walsh, Mustafa Alabssi, Edsson Morales, and Zoe Marlett.

At the heart of the story, Jaime King takes on the role of Rose, a determined mother who becomes separated from her daughter, Anna, in the chaos of a world ravaged by zombies.

In her desperate bid for survival, Rose joins forces with a diverse group of survivors as they navigate the treacherous landscape of North America.
