Haha I'm sorry but I've heard this before and it always makes me laugh. It isn't a zombie apocalypse show, it's a show set during a zombie apocalypse. There is a difference. Maybe that's difficult to understand and/or seems kinda ludicrous if you don't watch it or haven't followed it but the main themes of the show have been adapting, interacting with people, survival and morality and how the apocalypse affects and changes all of those things. How and why the rules change in such a setting. Therefore relationships and major life events are key to the plot of the show, and so I find the soap opera comparison way off the mark.

George Romero is the man who famously called it a soap opera, and he hasn't made anything zombie related worthy of any credit for a long, long time. I'll listen to anything he has to say when he directs another zombie film that isn't terrible.

I like 24. I can't help it. It's exciting and it's addictive. But I'd agree that the first two or three seasons were the best. The first one was the best by far and then it has been all downhill from there for the most part. It isn't particularly artistically brilliant or anything, but it's a fun action fix if I decide to overlook any holes in it.
