This essay analyses, from a political philosophy and contemporary social analysis perspective, the reasons by which a series such as The Walking dead has generated so much sympathy and acceptance, not only on the general public but also, and notably, on an unexpected audience for a post-apocalyptic television series: the left’s political militancy.
