From the shitty accents to the ridiculous dialogue to the fricking retarded storylines. It's hard to overstate how truly bad the show is.

*Walking around the woods with dry arse leaves because it's always summer and never rains and out pops an entire herd of flesh eating zombies that can't be quiet ever and are always shuffling their feet until this very moment*

How is this the same TV network that came out with Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Hell on Wheels, and Turn?

If you think that's bad, for sure don't watch "Fear the Walking Dead."

Yeah, but they're entirely outweighed by the laughably moronic.

The first 2 seasons were so good that I wanted to overlook that fact. But yeah the writing was terrible after season 2. Killing off Carl made the entire show meaningless for me. The point of this show was Rick waking up and doing whatever he could to find and protect his family. And then they all die

Finally completed the series a couple of weeks ago. My wife watched it with me for her first time. She was invested in some of the characters, like Daryl and Eugene. We're both on board to watch the Michonne and Rick series when it comes out. It was a lot better binge watching it instead of the dull week to week when the storyline isn't really progressing.

I care less about the Grimes family than I do about the fact that yes I know it was a zombie apocalypse, but the actions of the humans were retarded and made little sense. I just find it extremely hard to believe that the humans who could think and move quicker, had more knowledge and reasoning skills couldn't manage to take care of the problem in a hurry.

AMC licensed Breaking Bad, Sony created it. Mad Men was lionsgare entertainment and AMC licensed the rights to air it like BB.

Now, The Walking Dead was their own creation. The 1st season was fine. I enjoyed it and looked forward to more. Then they got in their own way, because there was no filter.


AMC is the Vince Russo of television programming

That version of zombie would be wiped out in less than a week, with sporadic outbreaks due to the lingering disease.

Even fast movers would be culled pretty quickly. WWZ type infected would be scary. But still couldn't overtake most societies.

TWD took a lot of overlooking logic. But it was a fun show and I liked seeking an apocalyptic world. Makes me appreciate what I have..

I think I watched 6 seasons. I stopped on the first episode of the season after the whole "who did Negan kill" cliffhanger was answered. I really enjoyed it up until they left the prison, after that I watched just because I had invested so much time. Glad I cut ties when I did.

The moment Rick went pacifist is when I checked out. What a stupid show it became. S1 was fantastic, S2 was good with some boring moments. The endless walks on the train tracks started to lose me, but the breaking straw was Rick refusing to use guns and acted a pacifist to be an example to Carl. What a joke


The Governor was a let down as well. They tamed him down severely from the comics where he was truly an evil son of a bitch.

Which is why I couldn't finish it when it first aired. Trying to do a rewatch and I'm getting close to my breaking point again on season 6.

That was done wrong, they should have showed him demolishing the 1st victim. Beating him to death brutally in front of us and the group. Let the audience feel satisfied and sit with what they saw as we wait for the next season.

Since they were going to kill the 2nd person anyways, THAT murder should have been reserved for the next season premier. Instead of having 2 deaths at once, the audience gets to digest each one while paying respect to the characters we lost separately.

What they did was gimmicky and disrespectful to the audience and characters the audience liked.

I watched it for a couple of seasons.

When they escaped the farm with a guy holding on to a truck was headshotting zombies while doing doughnuts but then couldn't take out the gov character with scoped rifles, I was done. That plus the wife was obnoxious.

Especially if you know how the comics go, Carl was the one character they couldn’t kill and they did because AMC was cheap. Honestly everything after season six was AMC fricking shite up especially in the final seasons with all these damn spin offs. I really liked season 9 and 10 but 11 was just a letdown mostly because the main characters like Rick and Carl were gone and the other big names Daryl, Negan, Maggie, and Carol were already confirmed to have spin offs. If they got rid of the reapers storyline and didn’t do those stupid spin offs the final season could have been far better. Even would have gotten that moment with Sebastian only replace Rick with Daryl which is what they were teasing anyway

That that meme became something in our lexicon is the best part of the whole show.

They should have stuck to the comic book storyline.

Hilarious to me how they conned so many people to watch so many episodes. I was out in year one.
