Telltale's The Walking Dead is a series that truly needs no introduction, but looks like I've got to give it one anyway! The Telltale Walking Dead series is not only the best and most highly regarded series Telltale has ever produced, but one of the most prolific and universally adored video game series of this generation, if not of all time. With everything from an expansive cast of relatable, richly layered and incredibly well written characters to a gripping and compelling overarching storyline told across a series of games, all unique and different to each other with their own assortments and profound and complex themes, with a riveting beginning and and an immensely impactful conclusion, to a narrative that's as profoundly compelling and remarkably developed as its two central, leading characters, it's certainly a challenge to think of series that could compete with Telltale's The Walking Dead in terms of how truly awe inspiring it is. Although Telltale's The Walking Dead concluded in 2019 with the concluding episode of its fourth and final season, I think a series as rich as this one would provide the most perfect groundwork imaginable for live action TV adaptation. And with the unbelievable success of HBO's The Last Of Us (and also considered the endless assortment of mainline Walking Dead shows have been put out to date) I don't think there's a better time to do this than now. So without any further ado, let's get right into it!
