The Walking Dead Spin-Off Leak: 7 Things To Know About Cobalt

5. It's A Lot More Sweary

According to Bleeding Cool, the pilot is significantly more sweary than the Walking Dead, and while that's not exactly a family friendly show, it does keep the potty mouthing down to a minimum (which is odd, considering you'd expect the air to be positively blue with head-biting monsters walking the streets). That had compelled them to wonder whether AMC might bleep them out, but perhaps the whole show is going to be more adult. It makes sense knowing that the dead are not yet a horde, and that suspense and scares are going to be the currency of impact (or so it would seem given the more traditional slant on zombies). Why wouldn't it be more likely that the Californian residents would swear more, wanting to grip onto some sense of their normal lives and respond with more authentically human responses when they get attacked (instead of acting like the resourceful survivors driven to more extraordinary behaviour like shooting zombies).
