I suggest not wasting your time on this bullshit at all !!
"You ever hear the one about the stupid little prick, named Rick, who thought he knew shit, but didn't know shit, and got everyone that he gave a shit about killed. It's about you".
Season 7 of The Walking Dead was... kinda of a mix bag. Compare to previous seasons, you know what to expect by now, as the formula is becoming more apparent. There were many episodes in this season that I thought was okay, but some I would call great. The awful episodes shouldn't go overlooked as well. Now we got a new villain and everything that the world use to be is decaying each day.
When we left off, season 6 ended on a cliffhanger which made viewers (including me) furious. I knew what it was there for and I wasn't having it. Of course when it's revealed who bite the dust, I wasn't all that surprised. Here's the problem with leaving a cliffhanger open for months, people will speculate and the odds seem more clear.
It also ruined what could've been a heartbreaking and a "Game of Thrones" like feeling of sickness, instead left me saying "I knew it". The tension and the build up was so perfect in the season 6 finale, but all of that is long gone since six months. Doesn't help when you killed off your character twice, which is Glenn. I mean, Glenn not being on the show anymore is sad and I've got to give Steven Yeun credit for improving over the years, for his acting skills. It wouldn't be the same without Gleen or Abraham.
Well with all that out of the way, lets talk about the actual good things.
Andrew Lincoln absolutely killed it this season, just like he always dose. It was so painful to watch Rick go through this soul crushing and embarrassment treatment of psychological torture. Effecting him and everyone else in the group. The scene at the start of season 7 where he breaks down in tears after Negan forces him to cut off his son arm. Truly great acting from him. Convincing the audience he's a father who would protect and cry whatever happens to his son. To be honest, he's the only reason why I'm watching this show. At the moment Rick is on a softer side, but that inn demon is still in there ready to be release.
Jeffery Dean Morgan is another stand out this season and stole every scene he's in. The devilish smile, slow tone talking, and brutal way of getting his point across. He makes the Governor look harmless. You love to hate him, everything that makes great TV. One minute your in shock or crying after he kills a fan favorite; you then laugh at the terrible puns he spits out while caving in someones head. How lovely. Making the character both evil and filth, but also giving a sense of respect and knows when he crosses the line. Pretty much a method of control. Later on, he must get the taste of his own medicine after the things he did. At the same time, you hate to see him go. Jeffery Dean Morgan was terrific.
It's great to see Maggie and Carol character becoming stronger since we first met them. Of what both went through and where they are now. And it's not just those two, the other character arcs that shown growth. That's what I like every season despite the problems.
Some of the unrealistic character monitions and decisions still need improvement like I said in my last review. Why are the final to these seasons always end so lackluster. You get the filler and predicable moments. Mostly things you expect. I bet the season 8 will repeat these mistakes, but hey, I'll keep watching anyway.
Overall rating: Ready for more zombie killing.
Season 7 starts with a bang. Rick continues to be the weak, bungler of a man he's always been. His son has more idea of surviving than his dead loss dad will ever have. Even while Rick's crew were being battered and bruised by Negan's folks only his boy appeared remotely understanding of the horrors he was witnessing. He'd seen it all before and was hardened to it. Rick should let his son take over command as soon as humanly possible
The one running disappointment I have of the series continues unabated. The writers seem determined to create characters who are utterly incompetent or useless and put them in situations that are obviously dangerous. I'm not suggesting we see ninja septuagenarian grannies but why oh why do we need to witness 20-something Americans incapable of firing a gun or wielding an axe? If there weren't twice as many guns in the USA as people it'd be plausible for few to have never held a gun but the fact the country is one giant munitions dump it does make the scripts sillier than they need to be.
Kirkman wanted a story to go on and on just like real life. Season 7 continues to deliver on that score. We've seen it all before but it's still enjoyable to watch. How many more seasons will it continue? At least one more that's for sure.
That's all for me, i gave enough chances to this shit.
For me, as this last few years feel like a Renaissance of TV, and with so much great shows going around, TWD has descended to Barely Mediocre that with each season is just an extremer version of the previous season, but its just the same time and time again.
Not worth watching.
I watched the first two episodes of "The Walking Dead" numerous times over the years, but it never hooked me - until I tried again this past October and have now binged up to the end of season 7. There has been a definite decline in some areas, but I still enjoy this show a lot. Negan is a damn good villain, better than any we've seen in previous seasons.
Season 7: The Walking Dead but instead of killing walkers we play monopoly.
This used to be a NICE series. But this season is so boring, that at the 56% of it, I dropped it.
The viewership for The Walking Dead's Season 7 finale stands as the third lowest in the history of AMC's post-apocaplytic zombie series, just ahead of the first season's 5.97 million viewer count and Season 2's 8.99 million figure. Likewise, the finale's 5.9 rating is also the third lowest in the show's history, ahead of the 3.0 and 4.7 ratings garnered by Season 1 and Season 2, respectively.

7.9 for this seasons opening credit scene
Frank got 200mil plus his name on the credit screen lol
possible spoilers // personal opinion
i dropped here lol, do y'all think is a good idea to follow? fr the show can be that good as the first seasons? i mean negan is baddass and all but the story just too boring Dx
Awful! Just awful! The episodes have been getting worse after the first couple seasons. Season 6 was terrible and season 7 was so bad, it took me over a year to watch the whole thing. The only reason I finished it was because the Walking Dead: World Beyond looks like it might possibly be interesting. It wouldn't take much to be better then this season! I hope I can make it thru Season 8, if it's as bad as 7, I may just go into World Beyond without finishing TWD!

Ending wasn't that great, Idk why people are getting hyped over it. It's all over the same: like a soda bottle getting slowly shaken up from the start and it just pops out right at the end.
The show really repeats itself from season to season. I think it reached it high and no decreases. The strongholds just get bigger from time to time and the villains maybe a little bit meaner. They loose they comrades very fast, there is no time for building charaters. Rick starts to annoy me, because of his ambitions to be the one and only to rule... But I will continue watching I guess.
Season 7 was boring. Story is no more about the walkers which was what The Walking Dead is all about! Lets bring back the good old time of this show!
That's like the first time in years that I'm actually able to enjoy this show. All thanks to Negan. I have no idea why people call this season boring.
This season only has two excellent episodes out of 16: the premiere (of course) and the episode with Eugene (showing the gray area TWD has been good at, antagonists are not evil and protagonists are not saint). There are also other two... well, good episodes.
The rest of it... let's say it's decent but it's not worth the 45 minutes. It moves rather slowly. It's a drama of course so I'm not expecting some fast-paced action, but all too often TWD fall to the same trap over and over again: a whole episode dedicated on exploring one character or bonds between two only with unnecessary long still shots and cheesy dialogues. Those episodes have some great moments once in a while, but most of the time you'll find it a bit dull.
A great season opener followed by a disappointing first half of a season. But I did have fun with the second half, with some over the top stuff (the cable between cars, the kinda Mad Max tribe, the flying sword... it felt like they borrowed stuff from Z Nation), a bit more dynamism in going around with the different communities and some nice twists. The final death was very predictable, though the battle was fun, even if not particularly well executed (as always with action in The Walking Dead). Overall a watchable season, with some nice ideas (the Eugene conversion is fun, Daryl and Carol meeting again was cool, Morgan losing it was great, I like the more trashy ideas, Negan is fun but underused), but I hope that next year they really ramp it up with the war. Even though I fear that the "war" will be four episodes of actual fighting and twelve episodes of mediocre actors stumbling on bad dialogues.

What happened this season? We introduced Negan...we already knew he was a villain....so nothing else, I guess. A slower half-season build up than a Goku spirit-bomb. Are there even walkers anymore? It's like those stopped being a threat all together.
