Oh! You'll enjoy it
A couple of caveats though:
Firstly, the first two episodes were originally intended as a single episode but broadened out into a two parter. The original pilot was supposed to follow the events of the first few pages of the graphic novel, more or less to the letter. They then decided to draw out some of the subplots and allow a longer character progression - some people found the first two episodes dragged a little (not me, I loved them!), so don't judge the pace of the series on those first two eps.
Secondly, the character of the show shifts around the mid point of the first series. For the first few episodes, there's good story and characters, but the zombies are much more prominent. As the show progresses, the balance changes and the zombies become less prominent compared to the character drama. The first few episodes paint the danger - then they become the threat against which a deep and character driven drama plays out.
