they're all practically the same. or is it just me?Is Falling Skies a ripoff of the walking dead?
Funny, I was thinking the same thing a couple of days ago.



Really, it's about the relationships and personal stories of the survivors of the aliens or zombies, with only some of the story about dealing with the monsters.Is Falling Skies a ripoff of the walking dead?
It does have similarities but they are different shows. The Walking Dead really grabbed my attention and I still watch however, Falling Skies couldn't and I stopped watching.
