I never watched The Walking Dead when it first aired, in 2010, because I thought I didn’t like zombies. Then I had a work experience kid who was right about almost everything, who told me to watch it. She didn’t even say that, just that she was sad for me that I hadn’t. It turns out my first three zombies (Shaun of the Dead, Zombies, World War Z) were just the wrong zombies.

So now it’s 2024, I’m the last person on earth to see The Walking Dead, all I want to talk about is zombie lore and character arc, and everyone else is over........
