Last night “The Walking Dead” made its long-awaited debut on AMC. The pilot episode “Days Gone Bye,” directed and written by three-time Academy Award-nominee Frank Darabont, follows the journey of Kentucky police officer Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) as he awakens to a world that has been overrun by zombies.

Director-writer Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) adapted Robert Kirkman’s graphic novel in a very graphic way. This bleak, violent depiction of a zombie apocalypse isn’t for the squeamish.

“Days Gone Bye” is a riveting, chilling and near-flawless introduction to The Walking Dead that balances scenes of slow-building dread with bursts of action and moments of outright horror.

Comic creator, Robert Kirkman told Entertainment Weekly: “It’s a very cool juxtaposition that explains what this show is going to be. The show is going to serve a lot of masters. There’s going to be very straight human drama stuff, and then there’s going to be very graphic, crazy zombie stuff. And it’s neat that in the first minutes of the first episode you get a sense of exactly what the show is going to be bringing you, week after week.”
