I watched it, primarily because I watched The Walking Dead (now that the final episodes are airing, my next two months of Sunday evenings are booked). I wasn't planning on it - I thought it was only going to be on the AMC streaming thing and not the cable network (I don't stream - when it comes to TV I pond: untrendy, flat and immoveable), and I wasn't really expecting it would be much along with being too lazy to change the channel.
Was I wrong.
On both counts - it is airing on normal TV (along with that accursed streaming), and the pilot episode stunned me. It wasn't just good - I was literally shocked by what they aired - in the terms of language, sex, violence and gore - on a non-subscription, standard cable network. Not that TWD hasn't had its share of the eff-word thrown around along with plenty of intestines and internal organs pulled out of living bodies being devoured by a zombie horde, so it's not new, but I couldn't believe the extent to which they permitted it on this show along with everything else.
So I guess when TWD goes to the great beyond of streaming archives, I'll continue my Sunday AMC viewing with IWtV.
