take me back to the start <3 i love these seasons too much before the Neegan/Saviors era ─── ⋅ ∙ ∘ ☽ ༓ ☾ ∘ ⋅ ⋅ ─── The Walking Dead Seasons 1–6 (2010–2015) follow Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), a former sheriff’s deputy who awakens to a world overrun by walkers and sets out to find his family. Alongside Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies), Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs), Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun), Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan), Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride), Michonne (Danai Gurira), and the rest of the group, they search for safety while building a family out of the people they meet along the way. Despite facing impossible odds, heartbreaking losses, and constant danger, these early seasons are remembered for the hope, humor, and genuine friendships that made the group’s bond so special. Together, they explore themes of survival, loyalty, resilience, and finding light in the darkest moments.
