Anyone else getting tired of this already?

It's not just her pout and attitude either. The story is developing too slow to be a drama, and it's just not funny enough to be a comedy.

So, if the undead try to contact relatives or relive their life, they progressively loose all memory of it.

It's still got my interest, as long as they can keep coming up with interesting ways for people to die (bear killing the protesters slightly predictable but nice and ironic, news reporter getting electrocuted by his own pee, eww). I liked the interaction with her family this week, I presume they'll find a way for George to become friendly with her little sis without mum (or her boss guy) finding out (for a while).

I'm not watching anything else at the moment (except new Simpsons when they show up, and Malcolm), so this will probably be my TV fix for the next few weeks!

This episode was kinda slow this week. BUT as Markpud says I'll keep watching it too.

I do hope that George gets to interact 'somehow' with her sister (even tho her sis seems a brat) but that could be the grief she feels on the loss of her BIG sis.

It was funny when the protesters lost their lives being killed by the bear and also the newsreporter being electrocuted. As I say I do have a strange sense of humour hehehehe.

Yep, it's this kind of dark humour that appeals to me too

I really enjoy the episode, I'm not into dark humor much so I first have to adjust to that change. But after adjusting I have to admit that I really enjoying it. :lol:
