I just suspend my personal knowledge of zombies and pretend like this is an imaginary time when people didn't know what zombies are. I know that's far fetched but whatever, zombie stuff is rad. It's seriously my favorite genre with post apocalyptic stuff. I've watched the first two episodes on On Demand...wow. This is exactly what I have been dreaming of, a zombie television series. I really hope it lasts because I'm really into it.
Spoilers: I'm a little bummed that dudes wife is unlikeable right off the bat though. It would have been nice to make her a little more endearing before showing her whoring out and banging her husband's partner. I dunno, I'm starting to wonder if that hadn't been going on before he was in his coma though.

I assumed that's what they were talking about in the car at the beginning of the first epi.
Also, this is a 6-epi season and they were already reupped for 12 more epis next year, iirc.

That's kinda what I was thinking as well.
I'm stoked there are at least 18 more episodes to look forward to!!

If you're watching a vampire movie (or whatever) and someone in the movie says "I'm a vampire" everyone else is like "cool, so you're immortal, you live off blood, you can't go out in the sun, etc." but in zombie movies nobody has ever heard of a zombie and it takes them half the movie just to figure out what they are and how they got that way and how to kill them and all that stuff that everyone already knows about zombies. For some reason that really sticks in my craw. That's not to say that every zombie movie is bad, just that the genre as a whole is lacking.
Well, that's a defining characteristic of the genre. Part of the lore of vampires is that they've always been around, dating back at least to the middle ages in Transylvania. Vampires create more vampires, most films don't bother exploring where they originally came from. So it makes sense that people would have at least heard of vampires, even if they thought it was all a tale.
There are no zombies. Never have been. In any zombie tale, you don't have a zombie, you have a zombie apocalypse. No one is prepared for it because it's never happened before.

Except, if zombies were to happen right now, I would think "No way. Zombies are real?" and not "Let's call them geeks."

Like how effed up downtown Atlanta is. I'm glad someone finally said it!
