[preacher_dawg]

Netflix, seasons 1-5

I honestly would stop after season 5. This past season pissed me off so bad that I'm done with the show. It is a really good show for those few seasons but it gets so dang repetitive.

 

[rugbdawg]

This last season was horrible, horrible. Fear the Walking Dead is much worse though.

Are you going to tune in to see who got whacked?

 

[civildawg88]

No, I literally have no urge to watch another episode of it.

I'm sure my wife will watch it and I will hear about it but like I said I'm done with the show.

It's amazing how well it's done considering how much even its core fans complain about it. The production value has been good but other than that, it's had unlikable characters, painfully slow plot development, and some bad acting (although I think it's been better than it gets credit for).

I think some of the slow plot development has actually been necessary to keep it from just being repetitive action and to allow it to be a little character focused, but I do think a lot of what it gets criticized for is legit and that they've only done so well because of committed fans from the comic book and because they were the first to try a high production zombie show and to also try to focus on material beyond what could be covered in an hour and a half to two hour movie.

I'm still enjoying it. That being said I absolutely hated the end of the last season. It would make more sense to end the season showing it.

The Season 6 finale had a chance to be TWD's big iconic episode a la The Red Wedding or the S3 finale of Lost.

But they totally butchered it. Negan may still end up being an awesome villain, but they neutered his introduction.

I'm less optimistic about the show going into S7 than I've ever been.

 

[thekimmer]

I am a TWD fan but I think it is beginning to get a little stale. They really need to start thinking about an exit strategy.

 

[Dog of Tillo]

I still enjoy it a lot, and at first I didn't like the ending of Season 6....but, there was a reason for it, and I think most people will be a little more forgiving when they see what actually happens.

how ****, man. that may be the longest sentence i've ever seen.

 

[MadDawg.sixpack]

I guess I'm the only one still watching it. Well, me and preacher_dawg. Enjoy.

 

[rugbdawg]

It was Abraham. Sorry to spoil it for you.

They should have killed Rick, Carl, or Glenn.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

how you know it was Abraham? It was Glenn in the comics..but he just got out of going through a lot of tough **** so I doubted that it would be Glenn. I guessed Abraham.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Hard for me to watch just for the fact that I CANT STAND FAKE SOUTHERN ACCENTS.

 

[rugbdawg]

Too much foreshadowing not to be him.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

They're not too bad considering how many are Brittish actors.

I think Lennie James (Morgan) does a pretty damn good job with his.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

true but is there a shortage of southern actors?

 

[xxxWalkTheDawg]

Just ones skinny enough to make it believable there is food rationing.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Yeah it's Glen.....and Abraham. At least that's the speculation since neither have been really seen on set.

 

[Dog of Tillo]

Yeah, that's the twist....since it's been said already. Both get introduced to Lucille.

ha! Ah yes. makes sense now

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

As I understand it

US actors are paid by a set Union Pay scale, min. but foreign actors can be paid less.

Read that somewhere, can't recall where.
