TV Shows you can't understand why people like?

[Elandyll]

Beside anything reality TV (notable exceptions being SYTYCD & Hells Kitchen, if those are even Reality TV), which I hate, I would have to say

The Walking Dead

Before you grab your torches and pitchforks, let me explain

First, I am a fan of the comic. Big time. But even then, while all the changes somewhat bothered me, it's not the core problem.
I just ... don't find it very interesting. I haven't really felt attached to any of the characters (contrarily to the comic, which takes a heavy toll on you as it goes. -Nobody- is safe), and it is to the point where I still have episode 6 of the 1st season unwatched on my DVR. I just think "I'll get to it when I get to it".

Given the love for this show both by fans and critics, I'm thinking ... Why don't I like it more?
I love zombies, I love the comic... but ... it just doesn't click.
