Not one of my favorites, his character was too Hollywood red neck for me. Poor stupid white trash corrupted by his racist evil brother, but when he spends some time with a diverse group of good people he is shown the light and becomes a good guy. A little too cliche for me. His brother was actually a better, more realistic and interesting character.
My feelings on the show are different from most, most see Ricks group as being the good guys. I see them as being the bad guys, every place they went they brought death and destruction. Thriving communities quickly went to hell as soon as Rick and his ‘good’ guys show up.
Forgot about Shane he was a good interesting character too, I always thought the group would have done better if Rick never showed up and Shane stayed their leader.
