George 'Night of the Living Dead' Romero turned down the offer to direct episodes of The Walking Dead, claiming it was was more "soap opera" than zombie TV show.

They asked me to do a couple of episodes of The Walking Dead but I didnt want to be a part of it, Romero told The Big Issue. Basically its just a soap opera with a zombie occasionally. I always used the zombie as a character for satire or a political criticism and I find that missing in whats happening now.

the only way I can relate it to a soap is if it was off branched from typical soaps to different genre such as apocalyptic soap, like all soaps it has the drama but more or less every TV show has drama in now and the walking dead it a Zombie apocalypse series more than a soap in my opinion
