The Walking Dead: Episode 1.............Very Good.

Like a lot of people last night I sat down to watch a TV series about zombies "The Walking Dead", this series has been advertised and hyped to hell and I was not expecting a lot especially as I am not fond of the lead actor(Andrew Lincoln) but I was surprised, he is playing his part well and no problems so far.The basic plot line is he gets shot in the line of duty as a deputy sheriff and wakes up in hospital in a country plagued by zombies and how he comes to terms and deals with this.

This series is very well produced, good special effects, slow zombies and just the right amount of gore.The acting is solid, the story is going at a good pace and I am looking forward to the next episode.

If you have not already seen it I would recommend it as it is entertaining and will give you a guide and an idea of things to come.

Justified TV Series.

Last night watched the final episode of Justified season 1 and it finished with a cracker, if you have not seen this series I highly recommend it as the only western TV series on at the moment with Timothy Olyphant playing a US marshall with no problems pulling his gun and dropping you in the dirt, all the characters in the series are excellent and be aware it can be slow but this just adds to the goodness and makes for one of the best things on TV.

Painting for other people?

Spent my painting time over the weekend painting some 15mm napoleonic russian cavalry for a friend and will be for a little time longer as I am having difficulty painting them as the reference material is sparse and vague also the hating of 15mm figures is not helping as I now only paint 28mm for myself but the customer is nearly always right and I hope to finish them this week.
Watched the Sherlock Holmes TV series on BBC1 last night and really enjoyed it and look forward to the next two.
