Many scenes show graphic deaths of zombies, but there are also many graphic deaths of humans. The humans killing humans are always the most graphic and disturbing.

The killer repeatedly smashes their heads until they turn into a bloody mess of brains and skull shards. The second man's corpse is shown close up with his head splattered all over the ground and we can see half of his eye ball in the mess. His hand is still twitching at this point. Nothing is held back in this scene and it is probably the most disturbing moment in the entire series.

The first two seasons has tamer violence than the rest of the series but blood and gore is still present and most of it comes from zombies than living humans. Season 3 is when the violence become much stronger where it got to the point where AMC changed the rating from TV-14 to TV-MA. The first two seasons were re-rated to TV-MA as well.
TV-MA violence type: blood, gore, brutal and graphic.
Level of violence: 10/10. Extremely violent and gory.
Season 1s gore is mainy computer generated but is still brutal.
Almost all episodes of this show contain extremely graphic depictions of violence, with shootings and scenes of zombies attacking humans and the latter shooting and using various weapons on the former, with plenty of blood visible.
A variety of weapons are used to kill zombies. Throughout the show many zombies are seen in various states of decay, sometimes with bones being exposed. However, this is not overly graphic.
All of the fighting and killing of zombies takes place within the context of self-defense, rather than with any sadistic intent or relish, and within a firmly established fantasy context. But, the killing of humans frequently commited by sadists and torture is very common. For example, a man is forced to eat his own meat after his legs are graphically chopped off.
