People get zombified, communities form amongst those that don't -- many get killed or turned into zombies and new uninfected characters arrive to replace them. Repeat this plot outline over and over again and you've got the basic idea of the series. First season was OK, but the repetitive nature of "The Walking Dead" had me bored shortly into season 2.
Should've stopped watching after Season 2, because from there on out it doesn't get any better anymore. I stopped watching after 6x03.
My guide: Watch S01, skip S02, watch S03 (not sure about S04). S05, no idea anymore what happened and S06 is very tiresome and should be avoided (unless it gets better after x03, but I highly doubt it).
It seems like the show just has completely lost his pace, if it ever had any.
Ok so this show was just DOPE when it came out with season 1 years ago. The cast and the onscreen chemistry was fantastic. They spent a lot of time building the relationships between the titular characters, slowly unfolding each ones traits and as a result we as viewer's have grown to love and have our own favorite. Now I get it that a post apocalyptic show having a happily ever after ending is ignorant at the least but having the core characters murdered in such a brutal manner just to shock the audience is a cheap tactic that has very evidently backfired on this show.
It averaged 11 million viewers in its prime, and now apparently viewership has fallen to a mere 4 million.
A minor deviance from the novel series is understandable especially when the author hasn't finished his work (like in GoT), but the script writers of this show decided to take matters into their hands, so much so that the graphic novel and the TV series at its finished product will look nothing alike.
Personally, the show is watchable till midway of season 6. If there's anybody planning to watch this now, heed my advice, as soon as the show starts to mention a character called Negan, that's your signal to quit watching.
From Season 7 starts the downward spiral; be it the declining viewership, an unrecognizable atmosphere, the fractured aimless plot (as the groups get split up), and a plethora of new unwanted characters being introduced in the hopes that the audience will be willing to let go of the show's core characters.
. The show has had a different director for every season. And each one gives their own little idiotic spin on it(especially towards the later seasons). As a result, what was once a comprehensive plot has now dwindled into a purposeless cocktail of irrelevant characters having no tangible objective, heading towards what has to be a bottomless pit of doom. It's simply gone beyond the point of any redemption.
I have officially decided to stop watching this TV show. It has been dragged on for too long. This first season I was so hyped about, it seemed like such a crazy idea 'What if you wake up like that one day?'. But after 9 seasons it has become very boring. The episodes are predictable and boring. Every episode ends with a cliffhanger and the next episode is exciting for a few minutes and then gets boring really fast. I wish they would've quit when it was still a hype so people would be bummed out it ended, in stead of being bored to death by a story line that has been dragged out for too long.
This show really disappointed me. I used to be a fan of TWD, but the emptyness of the episode and the numerous cliffhanger changed my opinion on it. I stopped at the start of season 6 and feel like nothing has happened to make the show go on, the story stays the same but in a different location. When will it end ..?
crap show , takes to long. lots of blabla. trying to extend it as long as possible. waste of time
Shit show has finally ended.
"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.
It got very very very boring. Many say, season 1-6 were good. I would say 1-3.
Was the greatest show on TV for the first 4 years, then went wildly off track. Killing Glen twice was a dick move.
budget cuts for mad men have definitely pulled this down from what it potentially could have been. truly a shame.
Save yourself the torture. This show has gone down hill. Don’t bother wasting your time watching like I did.
This once was the best show on TV but now it’s the worst show ever. Anyone starting this show, I would recommend watching the first 4-5 seasons, after that you can say you’ve seen the walking dead.
I watched the series until season 5 and I couldn't watch anymore because it got repetitive.
Garbage, garbage, garbage. This really should’ve been a 3 season (at most) show. The nonsense in the later seasons has ruined the show. The continued storyline makes sense from a graphic novel perspective but really doesn’t work when translating the same story to the screen for past 10 years. Because the story line is the same at every arc; a new set of assholes are introduced, the main characters flex their muscles first, then they get their arrogant bitch asses handed to them, they become humbled, regroup, a big flight sequence happens, they win & become arrogant bitches again, and the whole thing starts all over again. Watch the first 3 seasons & skip the rest.
I think you have to be a bit retarded or undergo a lobotomy to enjoy this show from Season 2 onward. Only then you can relate to erratic and senseless behaviour of most of the main characters and absurd logical errors in the script... I just cannot. I think the screenplay is written by a random brainless monkey just as a stylised background for a mediocre splatter show.
Just the 1ª season was a little good, it seems like the are always doing the same thing.
This show should be renamed the Talking Beds. It is that boring. The characters could learn from time to time. But no instead they will repeatedly make the same stupid mistake again and again, and cry about it. A lot. In fact most of the show is them crying about what they have done so far. And if I were any of them I would do the same, because they haven't done a lot in 8 seasons; Rick is still a shitty leader that should have been killed by his own people for the good of the rest of them.
I watch this show because I hate it and I'm hoping the idiocy of the characters will finally bite them in the ass and kill them. None of them are fit to rebuild civilization. Honestly, this show has the most incompetent batch of writers ever assembled.
They had the same loop of storyline repeated in every season: They run, they find shelter, they go out for food, someone gets bitten, they get overrun, and they have to find somewhere new. Rinse and repeat for like 10 seasons.
It’s basically a soap opera with zombies.
Fuck this show. Go watch Black Summer. They have lower budget & do a better job then this has been show.
This show is painful to watch. Just skip forward.
OK season 9 episode 8 made this new season worth it. I hope when it comes back the writers don’t keep putting in nonsense talking parts that lead to nowhere except waste time. Can’t wait to see the new villains when this show returns.
This is the most overrated show ever. And for what? Like 3 minutes of "intense" action and 40 minutes of the slowest fucking plot alongside useless conversations between really boring, bland, sad and angry characters. This is a bad, bad show. It is fucking awful. The show is supposed to be based on the WALKING DEAD! ZOMBIES! Yet, characters get so used to turning into "badass" zombie assassins that they are able to murder zombies within 2 minutes of the episodes. The show spends a shit ton of time on conversational scenes that are so irrelevant. Not to mention the replacement of zombies for protagonists to attack the "bad side" of human people. Not the dead! So irrelevant.
Seasons 1&2: 9/10
Season 3: 8/10
Season 4: 7/10
Season 5: 6/10
Season 6: 5/10
Season 7: 4/10…
After season 6 the events becomes more snd more like a puzzle, you need to solve it to be able to understand the context, time-line is messed up, you can get frustrated easily from this show.
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.
Skip this show, it’s gone down hill.
zombies... zombies...zombies . it seems to me the usual remake of 28 days later ....
I'm watching the first season again and it's funny, in the first episode is a Zombie-Child who is grabbing her Teddy. So at that moment in the show the Zombies are not complete stupid.
The first season is still the best of all.
There was a time, maybe, when this show was watchable. Now is just a ridiculous succession of idiotic episodes, one after the other. Writers wander in the dark with no ideas where they are going worse than our beloved Infected.
Is just not worth it.
COOOOOOOOOOOOOORAAAAL
WE HAV 2 SURVIVE CORAL
Absolute chore to watch beyond S1. My recommendation for anyone who still hasnt seen this: watch S1, treat it as a miniseries and run away as fast as you can. I got too deep and the completionist in me demands I hate-watch it. It's hot Georgia garbage from S2 on you'll only grow to hate all the characters and just want everyone to die...except Daryl probably. I'm team horde and extinction now, look at what they did to me!
I do not know why I'm still watching this, but this is so bad I'm ashamed to say anything to stay decent
Used to be good during its initial phase but now it has purely gone to shit. Nothing more than a zombie soap opera, don't watch it, you'll be disappointed!
This is bad. A bad, slow, poor adaptation from the comics. And, hell, I watched it through 4 1/2 seasons... I mean, c'mon, 1st season is great! 2nd is ok. 3rd is meh. But 4th? 4th is "what the hell are the producers doing to this show?" horrible. And now they announce that the 6th (FU*&%ING 6TH!!!) season will have... ZOMBIES?? Isn't this SUPPOSED to be a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE SHOW? And they announce zombies as if it was a great turn of events in the show... Really? o.O
No, don't bother telling me what happened to the show after the first half of 4th season. I'm pretty sure I can sum that up in only three syllables: "bla bla bla"...
I give it 2 hearts. And that is because 1st and 2nd seasons really entertained me, despite what they did to some characters (like... what? 19 episodes to kill Shane? Seriously? Why? And why is Lori so annoying? Someone please kill her!! \o/ YESSS! Thank you Carl! That's my boy!! Now I can stop watching this crap! Oh no, wait! The Governor appears! YESS!! ............. Aaaaand, he's boring. -_-' ).
S01E01: Woah, this is going to be an awesome show!
S10E04: ARRGH Make it stop!
Worst episode ever. Stupid dialogues, no story content or further development. Waste of time!
(How can the average rating in this app be 4???)
If all the other series would had the same incoherent plot and would been badly acted, like happens in this show, we would have drown in a shit of apathetic tv series.
Last season was crap. This one started awful so no more walking dead for me
incredible how they managed to milk 11 seasons and 177 episodes out of a 12 episode story
NOT SOMETHING I WOULD WATCH
damn so much talking talking and talking in this show pffff
So the first season was a great surprise. However, terrible acting, budget cuts, (very) weak plot, and shameless product placement have taken this show out of my collection. I'm really not sure I can even give it a second chance.
I must say the first season was great and this one.... Ach well dropping it Boring as F....
Cheers.
First two episodes where great, but the rest of the show contains way to much drama
Walking Dead has really gone down hill for me. Not as good as what it used to be.
Uhh...what exactly is The Walking Monger?
When I saw the beginning montage of people I knew what was gonna come. The couple, the mother, the random dude getting hugged by an extra who walked off trying not to look for recognition of the behind-the-scenes team. And then, yet another lousy speech that would only rile up the most fervent cult-member... and boy did they act like cult-members.
And yet I kept watching.
The episode got a bit better when Ezekiel's character was in view but it balanced dreadfully close to the abyss when the stupid cat and mouse game with nerdy evil Carl look-a-like began. Guess 3 meters isn't that far in zombiepaces ? Oh no, wait, it's 12 meters all of a sudden.
And yet I kept watching.
Upside was Zeke's axe-wielding friend affirming that he is indeed a cool dude. Where's the tiger... don't tell me they'll... Oh it's Carol being bad-ass... Great. "I couldn't stop them"... Besides shooting the tires, shooting them at the start, below the truck, hell throw a grenade for all I care... but no... let's let in slow shambling zombies instead. Oh and shooting in the air, lots of shooting cuz WAR. War is lots of shooting right?
Let's not even start about the chase scene.
Where's the suspense, where's the tension, where's CORRAL, Negan, where's a decent action director and intellect? Where 's the place they got all those bullets from all of a suddon. Where's the creativity and writing that isn't done by 10-year old kids. Again, certain scenes with Ezekiel were good to great and in general the build up and break-down of this character was nicely done but then the show managed to do the lasy thing again and... kill off the tiger. Once more they threw a fan-favorite character "to the lions" and killed it off cuz... it's a bleak world and shocker right?! Game of Thrones did it right? Kill your darlings, guys? Guys? Look a useless unimaginative and unnecessary death of a loved character!
As previous commenters stated: I cared more for the death of this CGI animal than I did any of the 50 idiotic people in Rick's gang. The little kid at the end walking towards a broken Zeke was good but that was most likely built on my soft spot for self-sacrificing underdogs, kids and my own disappointments with, to and from children. The rest was just... drek... again.
And yet I roll my eyes and sigh.
I'm almost done with this show, how many more episodes this season? It'll be the third series I stopped watching voluntarily. There are no characters left I still care about (besides Negan, but he's gonna die anyways right, Ezekiel and his buddy, who are both most likely gonna die before the season's end) and for me it can all just end. I'll watch Fear the Walking Dead instead... that show I rolled my eyes at before it started cause it sounded so derivative... The irony.
perfect untill season 5... then it got washed down and stuck on a rinse/repeat cycle. lost interest after season 6, continued "watching" untill end of season 8 wishing for the show to get good again... I gave up sorry.
terrible story line, was very disapointing maybe the writers improve or change for next season
Just end already. For god's sake.
Used to watch Walking dead couple of years ago, left it after it kinda got bored of it. Now trying to rewatch it with my wifey, she wanted to try watch series with zombies (she usually hate zombies) that why i was kinda surprised about it. Now i'v seen only first season completly and just started second season, and slowly but surely trying to get back in the series. Lets try to rewatch this i quess.
30% of episodes seem to be in the dark so there was nothing to see, might save energy but not entertaining.
The Walking Dead has become a dead show walking.
3 years for one season,they should stop producing it I think
after 3 seasons and a half, it's painful to watch.
Exposition upon exposition upon exposition upon exposition upon exposition. I used to care about a main character being killed but now I just wish they'd all die. Gone from The Walking Dead to Dead Show Walking.
Didn't like all the dead people
This is one of the best tv shows iv ever watched.
Is it just me that hates Rick Grimes and his stupid family? The series would be much better without them.
Great show. I didn`t like the zombie theme in movies or tv shows, but this is amazing...
i dropped this show. i stuck with it for 3 full seasons. i kept watching it cos i really wanted it to be a good show. i knew deep down that it wasnt though. i always believed that it was just on the verge of what i wanted it to be. i havent read the comics and so am not saying that i was comparing it to anything, but man, this just isnt a good show. i think honest trailers best puts together all the things that work against it. i watched the first ep of s04 and just couldnt take it any more. i deleted all 3 seasons in one swift click of the mouse.
Season 3 was AWFUL. Dropped.
I can't believe I've forced myself to watch all of it. Seasons up to 8 were good, but from 8 onwards it's meh. Season 7 was peak, I fucking love Negan. Season 9 and 10 are so boring. I agree with others, it gets repetitive a lot. At least they wrapped the series up alright. Not very important, but my favourites were everyone from the Grimes' family, Negan, Daryl, Glenn, Maggie and some others.
tv show was the walking dead, ya bit
That certainly was the walking dead. ya bit
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
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
Hershel Greene, the old farmer, is the only thing that keeps this from being Zombie? Shoot! Emote. repeat…
Don't care about the fact of it all
The first Season for the show was absolutely amazing every season after was absolutely crap. Never watched it again, oh sorry the first 2 of season 2.
I don't like this show okay
Don't like this show okay.

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
Season 1 was interesting but also very slow. I don't think I'm gonna keep watching.
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.
why is Sarah Wayne Callies not mentioned in the cast list? I just started watching the series. does she get cut early on?
The best show on earth for sure !
One of my best tv show
Heard it was good I will watch sunday
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

After the 3rd or 4th season it gets really hard to watch. I will use the word 'boring' because I cannot stay focus in any episode by any means, after those first four seasons. I only force myself to watch it because I've already seen the 7 seasons, but it is really painful.
