10 Greatest Horror TV Shows Since 2000
4. The Walking Dead
Run: 7 seasons, 2010 - present
Starring: Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride , Lennie James
Network: AMC
Robert Kirkman's comic series of the same name has over 160 issues, and while the TV series still has a way to go, AMC's The Walking Dead is catching up fast. At seven seasons, and the possibility to run and run, the zombie romp is the network's golden goose.
Where following source material to the letter may have bored fans of the comic series, The Walking Dead went full Game of Thrones and frequently moves off script. Shock deaths, switched storylines, and characters unique to the show means that no one is safe in the Atlanta apocalypse.
Where most shows are ghosts of their former selves by the seventh season, The Walking Dead is bigger than ever - an impressive 15.8 million million viewers tuned in to see the Season 6 finale, and those numbers are set to grow in Season 7.
Where it would be all too easy to create your standard bloodbath, The Walking Dead makes the most of its human characters, where zombies only serve as a background threat. With a cast of main characters that now reaches nearly 20, that number is sure to tumble during the current batch of 16 episodes. The group find themselves against a dangerous new foe - Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan.
