In the opening credits of the closing chapter of the eleventh and last season of The Walking Dead, one of the final names that appears is that of writer-director Frank Darabont. Each time it appears over the top of that still chilling score, it is hard not to think back to that stunning first season that premiered more than a decade ago. The moment in the first episode where an unsuspecting Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) rode in on horseback to a deadly silent Atlanta in the opposite direction of stalled cars remains an iconic image that Darabont and his team brought to life before he was fired. Looking back on it now, it feels like part of an entirely different show that was full of potential. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
