i don't know why people claim it went to shit. the quality is the same throughout. it's always been a low budget show
>i don't know why people claim it went to shit. the quality is the same throughout. it's always been a low budget show
The first two seasons had an objectively different quality to the rest of the show. Characters felt real and complicated and the walkers were actually scary. After that the show becomes progressively more absurd with one cartoon villain after another and increasingly contrived situations and conflicts
Isn't that exactly where they changed showrunners? The first two have kind of a limited series vibe, after that it's a soap with zombies.
yes. Darabont got canned midway through S2. he was the talent in terms of writing.
s1 was great, at least the first episodes.
s2 was a soap opera
s3 onwards it became anime. The only thing missing was the characters shouting their signature attacks name and power up transformations.
> Also, when does it turn shit? I'm enjoying season 2 so far.
Season 3 is a major downgrade to season 2, that’s when things start to get more dumb and comic booky, although there’s more spectacle. It reaches a peak around mid season 5 then starts to go downhill again and becomes borderline unwatchable in season 8, didn’t watch any of it after that.
>why does the season turn to shit after season 2
this is because the showrunner was a major Hollywood director who made the green mile and the mist. somebody with real talent
AMC gave him everything he wanted and then realized they had a massive hit on their hands and they didnt need to spend the money. so they cut his funding in half.
He chimped out and left and sued AMC in a major lawsuit and it was so bad he quit the industry forever. The foundations and characters and casting he built (most of the cast from "the mist" funny enough) gave the show at least 5 decent seasons
then the dumb israeli people running the show killed off all those cast members and replaced them with brown theater kids and fat lesbians who couldnt act
This is 100% accurate and is exactly WHY it went to shit.
It objectively went into "unwatchable" territory after about season 4 or 5, though. Specifically, the climax of the arc where Beth gets separated from the group.
>climax
>Beth
GLADLY!
I guess this is why they spend 20 episodes in the fricking farm bickering. I thought the funding fell through later.
yeah the season 2 we got was not frank's season 2 at all.
only thing I remember about this show is that I lost interest around season 5 and that Anons here tell me that it's fine because that's when the show started to decline
>taking advice from anon
I'd trust Anon with my life
Stopped after season 4.
It becomes bad when Shane dies. It becomes unwatchable when the Governor dies.
And it becomes pointless when Glen dies
>I'm enjoying season 2 so far.
You're insane
He’s just enjoying Shane
mellow comic Rick > gruff show Rick
Turns to shit around the second half of season 4. Season 4.5, 5 & 6 are painful to get through which sucks because the season finale of season 6 and the season premier of season 7 are both probably in the top 5 best episodes of the show, but you have to sit through 2 and half seasons of shit just to get to them. seriously the s6 finale may be the #1 best episode of the entire show.
S07E01 was the last good episode. Everything after that was unwatchable.
agreed. meant to add that at the end but forgot to.
TWD is actually a decent show if you stop at the end of S7E1 and just accept that was Rick and the group's fate.
Kind of like GoT and Dexter. both are really good shows if you stop at the end of season 4.
got s5 was fine, was it as solid as 1-4 no but it was still solid overall. can't say the same for the rest because i haven't bothered.
"fine" isn't really the quality of entertainment people like to invest in.
The being said GoT 1-4 is great. after those people should just skip straight to S6E9 and treat it as the finale of the show so if you really haven't watched past S5 go and watch that episode because it's generally regarded as top 3 if not #1 best episode of the show.

HOW YOU GONN'PROTEC'EM RIGG? HOW YOU GONN'KEEP'EM SAFE RIGG?
>Also, when does it turn shit?
They fake out killed one of the main characters and then for real killed them shortly after. In hind sight it wasn't really bad as much as it was just really played out for me.
>mfw season 11
>thinly-veiled "social commentary"
>show turns from zombies to House of Cards or some shit
>what's left of the cast is characters you wish would die, and new characters that no one likes
>diversity hires so forced you actually can't even be mad at them
>"romance" plots that make your stomach turn
>season 11
it went on that long? wtf
Yeah and there are already multiple spin-off shows, 2-3 of them directly related to the main characters, and some about other stories.
any of those spin-offs any good? I like stuff portraying the initial zombie outbreaks but i dont mind the post-apoc theme.. I got up ot the end of the prison arc in this show and liked it.
I watched a season of two of Fear the Walking Dead (portrays the apocalypse itself and some period after), those seasons had some good moments, but I didn't watch further than that because I just got tired of the franchise.
Tales of the Walking Dead is an anthology series with different stories. I dropped this 30 minutes into the first episode, it was a turd. Maybe the other episodes are better.
The Dead City spinoff is a total turd and don't let any of the shills on this board convince you otherwise. Also kinda requires you to watch the main series.
I didn't watch any others.
>I got up ot the end of the prison arc in this show and liked it.
Just keep going until you don't. TWD has some good moments, but it's a pretty individual and subjective thing how much of its stupid nonsense you can tolerate. Some people can watch it all the way, some people quit way before the point you got to.
>DUDE IT'S ALL BAD LMAO
incel vibes
Yeah, got a problem? You think you're gonna have a wife and kids someday?
>any of those spin-offs any good?
no, don't bother. fear the walking dead was supposed to show you the start of it all and they don't even do that properly, a zombie just randomly shows up on the LA freeway and somehow mass infection starts, then society falls two days later. this is within a 10 minute window. the foreign locations spinoff got canceled after 2 or 3 seasons and was typical woke shit, fear only got more seasons because they brought morgan into the show to explain his absence from the main series, and the other spinoffs all take place after the end of the main.
>I'm enjoying season 2
if you're enjoying season 2 then you'll probably hop off around the same time most people did, season 7. just so you know the show goes through like 2 or 3 showrunners before it sticks to one person for the remainder of the series, i think around season 5 they lock in. season 5 is probably the best of the series. after the premiere of season 7 you'll probably want to quit.
>it went on that long? wtf
it was amc's plan to have 12 seasons MINIMUM. covid killed that and instead they started up the spinoffs.
by my count there are now i believe 5 spinoff shows. fear the walking dead, the one about zombies around the world, the one about maggie and negan, the daryl show, and the rick and michonne one.
Season 7 is when it gets really boring and tiresome. It picks up again around Season 9. 7 and 8 are trash. Oh, the final season is also trash. 9 and 10 are good imo. S3 is the best because of the prison arc and the best villain The Governor
only the pilot was good
