Dissecting the Walking Dead: Slicing Into the Guts of Today's Hottest Show - Paperback
by Eric San Juan (Author)
How did a show about people trying to survive a world filled with flesh-eating zombies get to be so damn popular? And does television's most beloved gorefest have anything important to say about who we are and what makes us tick, or is it just another mindless action show. (Hint: it's not.) Those are the questions that Dissecting the Walking Dead seeks to answer. Slicing into the origins of the show, gutting each season to reveal its hidden themes and glaring flaws, and cutting into the characters who keep us coming back each week, it's pretension-free criticism written for people who love to talk about the show. Because The Walking Dead may be full of awesome zombie splatter, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a brain.
