Currently, the most popular of AMC’s hit programs are below:
The Walking Dead
By far the hottest show on AMC right now, The Walking Dead (a series about zombies) is being raved about and is quickly breaking away from the pack.
The Walking Dead is a post-apocalyptic horror-based television series based on a comic book series by Robert Kirkman that was adapted for television.
The series follows a small group of survivors who travel across a barren United States in search of a new home while trying to avoid the shuffling hordes of undead. They are constantly faced with unspeakable horrors coming from all sources – both from the zombies and the living individuals found along the way. As the group’s situation becomes more grim and desperate, they get pushed to the brink of insanity as they attempt to survive each day.
