The Walking Dead

Right now you can watch The Walking Dead in Australia on BINGE and Foxtel Now, and in the US on Netflix and Philo — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. Every one of its 11 seasons holds up. With 17,971 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Lauren Cohan sets the tone, and the world-building does the rest. Available now on BINGE — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason The Walking Dead keeps coming up in conversation. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry The Walking Dead through its more ambitious moments. Sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes awakens from a coma to find a post-apocalyptic world dominated by flesh-eating zombies. He sets out to find his family and encounters many other survivors along the way. The human element stays intact thanks to Lauren Cohan and Norman Reedus, who anchor every scene. It ran for 11 seasons (2010–2022), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The Walking Dead resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give The Walking Dead a chance. Fans of The Walking Dead: World Beyond will recognise the sensibility here immediately. 11 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Watch for Lauren Cohan in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.

The Walking Dead wrapped up in 2022, created by Frank Darabont — and 11 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
