As a devoted cinephile, I’ve come across few television series that have captivated me quite like The Walking Dead. Its unprecedented longevity and the multitude of spin-offs it spawned are not without merit; this show simply stands unrivaled in its genre.

To begin with, Andrew Lincoln portrayed Rick Grimes, which helped the show gain global fame for its gruesome walker portrayals and intricate characters. One swiftly beloved character was Norman Reedus’s Daryl Dixon, who later starred in a standalone series in 2023.

With its affordable monthly and yearly subscription options, it’s a great way to access all my favorite Disney shows and movies at a reasonable price. Plus, the convenience of streaming from home is unmatched. However, for those who prefer traditional television, the series will also be available on Sky and NOW starting May 19th, 2024.
