"The Walking Dead" started as a short but intense series of episodes that somehow managed to give back dignity to zombie flicks. Sure it might have had its clichés (God, that love triangle), yet the gritty and semi-realistic tone was not something that obvious in this kind of production. Still, who would have thought it was doomed to become one of the longest beaten dead horses in recent TV history? My experience ended with the fourth season, and I can't believe that was less than 30% of the whole thing. There was no particular event that triggered me, but I just naturally stopped thinking about it. Coming back to the show just felt like booking my next visit at the proctologist.
The second season had already started getting slower and thicker, which is understandable as we got twice the number of episodes. I liked that they were making the show about the people more than the zombies, but despite all the time spent on drama, we never got significant character development. Most of the time it would just be people going over their traumas. It was good that some people started to step into the gray zone, but the writers usually prefer to depict characters as either heroes or villains. The day you are evil, you would start doing the craziest things for pretty much no reason.
The third season had a very underwhelming finale, but the pacing throughout was pretty good. I liked how they kept switching the focus away from the zombies, with the collapse of all institutions turning humans into a much bigger threat. The villains could use more complexity though, sometimes they just feel like caricatures that need to act evil at all costs. I didn't expect some characters to get killed off already, which is great news as I hated most of them. Still, the subplot with Rick going crazy was absolutely ridiculous.
The fourth season felt so long that by the end I thought I had mistakenly watched two seasons. It’s not atrocious, but out of 16 episodes, maybe just a couple felt worth watching (8 and 15, maybe 12?). The rest just dragged on for too long and didn't add anything to what we had already seen.
The first five or six seasons were amazing! Some of the most engaging, awe-inducing TV I've seen. If they had the sense to quit while they were ahead, this would've gone down as a truly phenomenal show. But, as it all too often happens with shows of this caliber, they didn't, and unsurprisingly the quality of the show dropped precipitously. Seasons 7 and 8 were poor, 9 was decent enough, and 10 was genuinely awful. The covid-era "bonus episodes" were truly the icing on the cake, as all but one of them were absolute garbage (chasing a mouse for 40 minutes?!?! GTFO.) and really underscored the destitution in the writer's room at this point. But the show runners don't even have the decency to hobble across the finish line with dignity. Instead they announce the introduction of multiple spin-offs for multiple characters after the show supposedly ends. They ALREADY have Fear and the World Beyond, so this makes how many spin-offs? 6? 7? 8? I've actually lost count. Just do TWDverse and its audience a huge favor and put us both out of our misery...please...
This show should have ended after S5 or even before that - it would’ve been a 9/10 at least. The rest is just not worth it tbh. Shame really…
this is one of my top favourite tv shows of all time! gotta love those zombies :D
I started watching this years ago I stopped at season 3 I should keep going :man_facepalming_tone4:
Why would someone be guarding the wall with one arrow in the bow and no extra :man_facepalming_tone3:
Holy hell the scene with maggie in that shopping center was intense, haven’t felt that in awhile.
Kudos to the writer that finally figured out that if you’re holding a weapon head to head with someone you cant just pet go with one hand to grab something because you will lose, better yet to use your foot and then grab it :clap_tone3:
i love this series..
1-6 are 5/5
6-8 4/5
9-11 so far 4/5
one of my favorite shows
This show should be renamed to Talking You to Death because you’ll turn into a Zombie from watching it.
At this point any of the CW shows are better than this because there is entertainment in them. This show has like 1% entertainment & 99% talking.
It got very very very boring. Many say, season 1-6 were good. I would say 1-3.
seasons 1-6 are cool, season 7 is disgusting. not watching further.
I'm watching through Netflix so I'm stuck on season 9. This show started out great. It got real boring in the middle up until Neegan showed up. Once he was taken down it became boring again. The meandering story grinds your interest down. It becomes so predictable too. Every time something good happens or a character experiences happiness it's solely to contrast impending doom. Season 9 could not have been worse. What did they do with Rick? Seriously, how do you write a main character out like that? I can get behind a time skip, it can be fun to see how a future can play out. Two time skips in one season where Maggie and a whole damn war collapsing the kingdom get written out off screen is some terrible bullshit. I can't wait to see how they screw up season ten.
Edit: I've now finished it. What a waste of time. Because the spinoffs continue the story in several branches (three is it?), there is no real end to this festering corpse of a show. Watch season 1 and stop if you value your time. If you don't value your time, watch until Megan twirls his bat around then end it. If want to waste your life watching crap like I did then there's one or two good things by the end.
I like the horror in it and the cast is not bad. Above that are their no or little special effects in,that makes it real to experience to watch.
Been watching the show from the pilot and the first 6 seasons were solid imo, despite an inconsistency in its pacing. 7 and 8 were not the greatest and definitely took away from what the show once was. 9 and 10 however are the best it's been in years and comes on par with the greatest seasons like 1 and 2. This is just my opinion but I do believe if you stopped at the seasons prior to 9, defo reconsider restarting because it's a masterclass in filmmaking atm.
Dude best show ever ever
very nice story line and acting
The show from seasons 1-7 has to be one of the best shows ever on television. After Rick left and they killed off his son, it hasn’t been the same.
But Negan is still funny
love this show so much!
Hershel Greene, the old farmer, is the only thing that keeps this from being Zombie? Shoot! Emote. repeat…
Decent enough episode glad to see Negan finally getting some more screen time!
Kind of a disappointing show considering the source material. About half of seasons are good, I'd recommend watching the spin off show instead (Skip the first 3 seasons though).
Don't care about the fact of it all
Skip this show, it’s gone down hill.

Best show ever been hooked since 1 episode
Season One: 9.0. Incredible emotions, wonderful writing, beautiful set designs. Everything is genuinely perfect. I loved this season to death. Andrew Lincoln is an incredible actor!!!
Amazing the best ever cool
This show isn't action packed, and though it has some moments of action, it'sually a slow-burner. However it does character development very well, the characters are human and flawed are likable and it raises interesting questions about what is being human, what we live for, etc.
It has some phenomenal seasons(at the prison and s6), great villains, strong women and well rounded characters.
It's not a show for everyone but, if you like character arcs twd is a great choice.
Season 2 and 3 was very slow. Got very repetitive after Season 4.
La mejor en su género.
Season 1 was interesting but also very slow. I don't think I'm gonna keep watching.
Amazing ring-a memories-and Rick became a monster
Very nice episode. Is an amazing memories. Rick became a monster!
This is 1 of the best TV shows ever made...
This show makes me show my "O" face every times it airs lol. #officespaceshoutout
Am I the only person in the world that notices than Lauren Cohan now has a thicker southern accent than ever before?! I went back and checked damn it...I'm not crazy.
To be honest, I like this show (a lot) but I have a hard time watching it, like my fingers have no energy to spare to grab the remote & push play. It is the strangest things & makes absolutely no sense. Not to me, anyway.
I like this series. One of my favorites.
Absolutely love the show, But MSF still has me in WTH. i was very skeptical about watching, i am not a zombie fan, so many of my friends on facebook told me it's so much more than that. You will fall in love with the characters and that is the main story. So glad i am a huge fan of the show.
top of the top, #1
why is Sarah Wayne Callies not mentioned in the cast list? I just started watching the series. does she get cut early on?
To die for and die for
The best show on earth for sure !
One of my best tv show
Guys ur losing...u should watch it...Negan is keeping the show. When they decided to keep him in season 8 ,they made their best choice...
Heard it was good I will watch sunday
I'm going to stop watching after the 7th season. it's too dragging now. the first few seasons were great, but lately it feels like it's all going downhill. the plot is getting cyclical. I'll only watch once they start finding out how this zombification started, until then, ciao.
Was going into this expecting another cheaply made survival horror thingamabob. Binged first season, was surprised by the story not being all gore "OH NO! HE DIED!" gore "OH NO! HE RETURNED AS A ZOMBIE!!!" splatter gore "OH NO! HE'S EATING MY....."
I think it a decent piece, was surprised to be told that it's a comic adaption afterwards, probably going to acquire those later on
I had a feeling that this show would be something great from season one. I love the introduction of Negan. I love to hate that guy. He definitely brings new excitement to the series, but it has me questioning what is season 8 going to be about? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Its not only about zombies its about how different people adjust and react with a bunch of strangers in life or death situations, each season the group is getting bigger and stronger and forming a community, if u read the comics y'll see that the idea for the end is amazing! And with negan in the show now, i can't hardly wait one week for the next episodes
this is a show about people, not about zombies!
The Air Date and Time for upcoming episodes are incorrect. It should show the first broadcast, not the encore showing at 2am the next morning.
Thrilling, appalling, interminable. Squeamish need not apply.
Overall: engaging but unrewarding.
Was the greatest show on TV for the first 4 years, then went wildly off track. Killing Glen twice was a dick move.
Oh Shet , fantastic season 7 episode 1
Did you know?
The Governor is based on a real-life leader! One Mr. Donald Trump.
Just watched episode 2,Pretty Boring Actually ! skipped some parts
Season 7 episode 1 is one of the best episodes I have seen; all series included. Really shows how you don't need very expensive effects and actors to keep us on the edge of our seats.
Really awesome
OMG... Season 7 premiere was hard core! The most intense TV I've seen to date, and be aware there is a lot of gore in this episode, even for TWD. I know why they put ads in episodes now, for the views to catch their breath! Enjoy all!
I love this show. It's my life rn. Waiting to find out who Negan killed #ShiftvW8
just one of my favourites!
Very nice very cool very
Would never watch this show Bc I thought it was all about Zombie's & wldnt give it a chance. Boy was I WRONG!!! Just had my 4th spinal fusion at age 40 & thank god for the walking dead Bc watching a few hours each day of all 6 seasons made me not just think about how much pain I was in. Def addicted now to both the show & Norm Reedus!!
Like Negan states, "everyone is waiting on me to get my order." He's not wrong either. An episode can be distasteful, might be meh, or in some really good cases it can be one of the most dramatic stressful things you have ever endured on a couch. You don't know what you're going to get.
It was good, until it went bad. Season 5 was already mediocre and heard season 6 is just downhill.
Really couldn't get into this series . Zombie after Zombie chasing human kind . No Thanks!
wow wow wow wow wow
When can I watch them
Friggin intense episode. A lot of really good sequences and insane cliff hangar. Really well-paced as usual. Morgan building that cage again.... think I know where that's headed xD
S P N >>> T W D
Great show watch it every Sunday
Like it but still prefer the comics!
It's very good... Is amazing!
great series am sad to Alicia
Such a good series but it is getting a bit repetitive
one of my best shows ever
i really love this show, it's AMAZING!
So far so good can't wait to see more
I like walking dead serries
