WRITING 3 - I10

I am not a fan of horror movies or series, but the “Walking Dead”, produced by Netflix,
is a serie I really like because it is the one that makes me feel connected to the fiction
and reality at the same time. The Walking Dead takes place after the start of a
worldwide zombie apocalypse. Zombies, colloquially called "walkers," crawl towards
living humans and other creatures to eat them; they are attracted to noise, such as
gunshots, and to different scents, for example humans. The story was released in 2010
to the screen, through a television series. Ten years later, it continues to have the
same success with ten seasons and 147 episodes.
It initially seems that only humans who are bitten or scratched by walkers can become
other walkers, it is revealed at the beginning of the series that all living humans carry
the pathogen responsible for the mutation. Something I ike the most is when the
mutation is activated after the death of the host of the pathogen, and the only way to
permanently kill a walker is to damage his brain or destroy the body, such as
incinerating it.
A positive aspect of this serie is the makeup of the zombies and the wounds are the
most spectacular thing I saw. In addition, suspense is never lacking at the end of
certain episodes where the plot will unleash hell in what follows.
On the other hand, a downside comes after the second season in which the zombies
were left out, all the time that arises the walkers only come out temporarily and do not
pose great threat to the characters.
The characters share with us their present and their past, and make us live all kinds of
emotions, but 10 seasons or more than 160 chapters are not needed. They always go
round and round the same idea; that’s why I recommend to add new situations that
can improve the plot making it more interesting.
