The reason why the imbd and metacritic scores are low is definitely because the series is tired and some episodes are not wrapped up, but apart from what I said, the series is absolutely perfect.
Tactical wins, taut storytelling and zombies munching tasty, tasty braaaaains: All that plus the addition of Michonne and David Morrissey as the Governor in upcoming episodes make me pretty damned happy that The Walking Dead is back.
Negan is so cool. It's really awesome how ever since they introduced negan into the series he has always been so cool. thats my favorite part too. look at my huge BALLS
First four seasons: top notch. Five and six: yikes. Negan seasons: Atrocious and IP-destroying. Whisperers: a new glimpse of hope. Everything after: unwatchable garbage.
I am scoring a 6 on this one and not a 9 because the first four seasons are pretty decent and innovative. Once they leave the prison, it turned into a novel. I actually got caught by TWD when I first watched episode 1. In that time, every single episode was filled with tension, desperate, agony. Did not care too much about looking for a cure or trying to understand the zombies origin, and that is fairly logic, I liked. But as said, after they leave the prison, things got boring (as it was leading to be, but still watchable). Waiting a week for new episodes, for it only to be almost an hour of pure philosophy about surviving. Zombies were pretty much all the show. Introducing the "Fight the dead, fear the living" thing was ok, but it kind of got off the trail.
I don't quite get the enthusiasm about this show. It's watchable only in streaming, thanks to the magic of fastforwarding. 3/4 of it is made of boring, useless and meaningless conversations. The fanbase motto should be '**** and go shoot something''. The 1st season is a masterpiece of zombie fiction, afterwards it has obviously been passed to some **** 5star motels dwellers knowing nothing. Nor willing to consult professionals or to just fkin google stuff. I mean dramatic tensions about water shortages near wells and rivers wtf. Boiling, distillation, treatment.. old world mysteries forever lost duh. Same about taking guard shifts, putting up some tincan wires, basic armor, basic wooden fortifications etc. Da enemy is a dumb slow moving creature armed with bad teeth ffs. Squirrels have more chances taking over the world. Same about pulling out of the box camouflage.. no u can't put it back it's over baby u've won the war u can close shop. Omg. The risk of any character dying at any time couldve been used for tense moments all along, contrasting with regular entertainment where u know the hero wonlt die. But no, they're just randomly slaughtered now and then, usually at the end of each season. And so on and so forth Bottomline.. just plain dumb
