Andrew Lincoln plays the character Sheriff Rick Grimes, who is the leader of his surviving group and the father of Carl Grimes. Although Rick always try to keep the group safe and making rough decisions for the group, his character becomes darker and threatening because of the experiences with other surviving groups, such as the governor and “Terminus” group.

Norman Reedus plays the character Daryl Dixon, who is one of Rick’s closest friends within the group. Not only is he close with Rick, but he also have a close relationship with Carol Peletier, played by Melissa McBride, and Glenn Rhee, Steven Yeun.

When “The Walking Dead” first began with season one, Rick Grimes woke up from a coma during the zombie apocalypse. As he was investigating the disaster of the world after his coma, he started meeting with people and later formed alliances.

Even though Rick Grimes form alliances with many other survivors throughout every season, his group also had to face tragic and emotional experiences, which impacts each character.

“The Walking Dead” is a television show that everyone should watch.
