Through out the initial seasons, this was one of the best shows on television. The energy, the acting, the suspense, the gore, the storytelling, the "on the edge of your seat" moments, this show had it all. But like all good shows, there is a time where you can either end on a high (Breaking Bad, Sopranos) or go on too long and lose your purpose (Dexter). Walking Dead has past this point. Ever since we hit Alexandria this show has spiraled and quickly. With the subpar, overly exaggerated arrival of Negan, the unnecessary attempt to shock in killing off Glen, using Daryl's charachter so poorly, and most recently, killing off Carl and the annoucement of Rick leaving. By killing off so many of the loved charachters, it makes previous seasons seem pointless. Rick's sole purpose was to protect and build a future for Carl, he failed. Escaping the farm, defeating the governor... all of this, pointless. The show has done too much damage to repair and rebuild the same momentum that it had in its early years. There is no longer purpose or direction. For what could have been considered a TV classic, this show has become a cash grab for AMC. They should have ended this show a long time ago, before Rick leaves the group to go work as a lumberjack.

Who got put in charge of this and turned into a feminist, interracial promotion vehicle? I use to love the series every week, and I guess that kind of ended after the few 3 seasons. All I see now is a bunch of talking mixed with political PC junk. Please, we don't care anymore. DONE.

I loved the first few seasons, but around the time that Negan came, it went downhill. The main thing I liked about the show was the emphasis on humans vs walkers. But now it's mainly humans vs humans. I feel like the show got sidetracked, and there are so many unexplored avenues. e.g. I would be interested to see if they could connect with people overseas. If they can build things up again and create new towns etc. And gradually restore humanity etc.

To keep this short and sweet, I was the BIGGEST fan of the Walking Dead. Unfortunately, several seasons in, it started to fall apart; straying from something we could relate to, to something that relied on improbable, unrealistic, and ridiculous situations, characters, and plot-lines that became increasingly unbearable and too cringe-worthy to watch. The introduction of the "garbage heap people" was a definitive turning point for me. I've continued to watch and will probably see it through to the end simply due to the fact that I have a morbid curiosity as to where this unfortunate train-wreck will end up. Do yourself a favour and watch it from the beginning until it starts to offend your sensibilities and then just walk away: believe me, it won't/doesn't get any better beyond that. 10 stars to start...5 at the finish.
