Z Nation Could Have Replaced The Walking Dead, But Fell At The First Hurdle

The Walking Dead's best possible replacement on Syfy could have been great, but ultimately fell at the first hurdle right at the very start. While zombies have been a popular horror monster since George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead, it wasn't until The Walking Dead that the undead saw a revitalization in modern times. The show inspired a number of other zombie stories that came after, bringing the genre back across various mediums worldwide.
