The Walking Dead (AMC) TV Show • Page 92

Go ahead and plow though the seasons, no harm in that.

 

Definitely, although season 3 really frustrates me with how they handled the Governor character and how certain events unfolded. Seasons 4 & 5 are really good.

 

Idk, my thoughts on this show right now are "only two more episodes and I'm done!" It's sad that this show has become the equivalent of taking finals right before summer break, I just want it to be over so bad.

 

As always, one half of a season I really like, the other not so much. I do sometimes enjoy this show like I used to. But not nearly as much/often.

 

What other shows does everyone in here like? Asking to gauge why this show gets so much hate. At the moment I am watching Iron Fist and it's not all that great, and the wife is watching the beloved Sons of Anarchy which from what I've seen is cheesy and laughable. TWD seems like its miles above them.

 

Bates Motel is fucking golden this season. If you remove Rhianna (why the fuck was she hired, didn't they see Battleship?) you have easily the best season of the show.

 

I can't stand Sons Of Anarchy. I watched Iron Fist and enjoyed it far more than I'm enjoying this season of TWD. I don't watch a lot of tv. Really just waiting for Better Call Saul at this point.

 

I just binged through Sons of Anarchy this past summer for the first time and I loved it, despite some of the cheesiness. It's a fun show.

 

I couldn't even finish the first episode of that damn show.

 

It's not cheesy in the good way that Banshee is. It's cheesy as in the "I don't understand how or why these characters are acting or thinking this way and everything is too over the top"

 

No real biker would ever wear all white shoes, period, end of fucking story.

 

His character was based off of real bikers he met with while researching for the show.

i loved SOA outside the last 2 seasons

 

SOA was awesome. What a ride.

Not watching much right now...

Love, Please Like Me, the 100, TWD, dragon ball super, Star Wars Rebels.

Oh and I'll probably give into the badlands season 2 a try. Season 1 showed potential.

 

In my opinion, here are several other shows that are currently airing (or have aired in the past few months) that are blowing The Walking Dead out of the water:

In no particular order:
Better Call Saul
Fargo
The Missing
Love
Mr. Robot
Black Mirror
Bloodline
Stranger Things
Atlanta
Preacher
Legion (although I'm still kind of on the fence about that - but currently more refreshing than TWD)

I still watch (and from time to time, enjoy) The Walking Dead, but the caliber of writing, pacing and storytelling has significantly gone down in the past year or two.

 

I'm very similar to yours

I'm currently watching live or waiting for new seasons to start of

TWD
GoT
Better Call Saul
mr Robot
Westworld
Stranger things
Fargo

Deulving into old shows I missed in the past and am up to
S2 Sons of Anarchy
S2 Vikings
Designated Survivor
Strain s1
Orphan black s1
Jessica jones/daredevil (once done iron fist and Luke cage)

Friends nagging me I need to do Sopranos ASAP

So much shows only usually 90mins a night to spare in footy season

Other genres I'm getting through or live on
Survivor
Last man on Earth
South Park
Louie
Workaholics


Waiting for new Curb

 

Damn, forgot about Westworld and Curb. And The Night Of...

I've had the entire series of The Wire sitting on my TV stand for 3 1/2 years. Have yet to start

 

Things I'm currently watching/waiting for:

Tier 1: iZombie, Orphan Black, Game of Thrones, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Agents of Shield, Master of None, Atlanta

Tier 2: American Horror Story, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Jane the Virgin, Better Things, Love, Lady Dynamite, Fresh off the Boat, Speechless

Tier 3: Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, New Girl, Supernatural, Once Upon a Time

Tier 4: The Walking Dead, Quantico, Blindspot, Timeless, Conviction, Gotham, Scream Queens

So, why does The Walking Dead get so much hate? Because it used to be in Tier 1.

 

Always Sunny > TWD

 

random but okay

 

The thing with TWD is that it hasn't changed, its been a slow burn since the first season. Maybe people just got tired of it which is fine, but I don't know how the show has changed. I saw people put Fargo on the their list, which is fantastic since its great, but its the same kind of slow burn show that has all the character building until something crazy happens. TWD just does it on bigger scale with 50% more characters to balance.

Oh no. The bold are correct lol. Placing it with Gotham? Putting corning CW filler shows above it?

 

You don't think the quality had diminished over the last 3-4 seasons? The writing has been particularly weak.

 

To be clear, I have no problem with a 'slow burn' type of show. The problem is, TWD has introduced literally dozens of characters over the years and it's hard to really care about most of them. So when they do these one-off episodes about certain characters or communities that aren't interesting, it's not a slow burn problem, it's a 'who cares?' problem.

Also, in Fargo and/or other slow burn type shows, we don't know the end game or the payoff, so it keeps us in suspense. With TWD, we ALL know there will be an all out war. I agree too with some others on here that have said the dramatic moments have become somewhat cheesy as well, or even forced.

I don't know, I would says seasons 1-5, this was a top tier show for me, but over the past few years, it's become very frustrating. I think I'd enjoy it more if we knew there was an end game for this series. Seven seasons is a LONG series, and for Kirkman to keep saying stupid stuff like 'this show can go on for 20 seasons' or whatever isn't helping. I get that the source material is still being made, but eventually - for a TV series - you have to start thinking of an end game.

 

I really don't lol. Being a fan of the books, I love the extention/different takes of these characters.

Haha this made me almost spit out my drink

Yeah I can't say anything bad about Fargo, esp season 2 was so perfect. I do think of the ratings slip for this show, Kirtman will find a way to end the show real quick lol

 

This Sunday's episode will have one of my favorite Negan moments from the comics.
