English actor Andrew Lincoln as The Walking Dead's Rick Grimes.
The fourth season of AMC’s hit The Walking Dead has become the most popular foreign television series to ever appear on Youku, China’s equivalent of YouTube, according to Xinhua. The show had more than 35 million views on the site on Tuesday and an average user rating of 9.4 out of 10.
The drama’s Chinese name ‘Traveling Corpses, Walking Meat’ (xingshi zourou) often trends on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo when a new episode is released, according to Foreign Policy.
Chinese audiences are tipped to use online services more often to access foreign shows after authorities set new limits on television content from outside China earlier this month.
