Should have focused on one small family and, had one episode of background showing that something funny was happening, and then had five episodes covering a short time period where everything went to shit quickly, dealing with the unknowns and uncertainty and showing how that family reacted to the world falling apart. If that was successful, they could have gone back and broadened the show in season two by covering the same time frame with new characters either by just replaying the same time period or using flashbacks as characters were introduced.

Just seems like they wasted a golden opportunity and completely failed what they claimed they were trying to do. They needed 12 episodes to start the way they started, and they probably needed another 4 or six before the army rolled in.
Yep. 6 episodes. It ends next week when TWD premieres.
