The Walking Dead

Everyone knows that the last few seasons of The Walking Dead weren't the same quality as the earlier ones, those early seasons were groundbreaking in so many ways that this series is considered among the best ever. Because of that this show still gets a high rating from me. Like most long running shows, it had its ups and downs but even at its worst it was still the #1 show on cable, in fact it has been #1 every season it's been on the air. The last few seasons without Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) haven't been as good but it at least started to get back to being a pretty good show during this last season. Norman Reedus (Daryl) and Jeffery Dean Morgan (Negan) continued to carry the show after Andrew Lincoln's departure to the point where people looked forward to it again. Having said all that, it was still probably time for it to end.

I've been a fan of The Walking Dead ever since the first episode of the first season. Even though the quality has gone down in recent years I still haven't missed an episode. While the last few seasons weren't quite as good they were still worth watching. It did go out on a high note though, the last season was actually pretty good. It had a few slow filler episodes but overall it was solid. Even though it was definitely time for it to end I'm still going to miss it. When something's been apart of your life for so long it's hard to say goodbye. The good news for fans is that there are a few spinoffs coming in 2023. I'm actually interested in the spinoffs considering they all star my favorite characters from the main show. There's three of them so far...one with Rick & Michonne, one with Negan & Maggie and one with Darryl going over to Europe. Again, those all happen to be my favorite characters so I'm looking forward to them and hope they're good!

I'm still a little young you know (lol) and I didn't know the old zombie classics of the genre as the illustrious George A. Romero did it but this modern-day classic is a must in the style. No SF, just humanity in decline fighting for its survival through hordes and hordes of ''Walker''. Even if it took me several years to watch it completely due to a lack of motivation, it's still a real thrill to find myself in my living room with all this gang with whom we really get attached. I'm currently listening to ''Fear of the Walking Dead'' and I plan to listen to the subsequent series of the genre that have come out <3.

I just watched all seasons of this show. This is a pretty well crafted piece of t.v. To be honest, if your a horror fan; this is pretty much: a masterpiece dream come true. (Gem).

Pros: The show is good at changing topic season to season: good amount of likable characters, has good character conflict. The show explores several genres: Drama, melo-drama, action, romance, civil war, human connection, friendship, horror, birth, child-loss, survival, family, love that touches the heart, and much more. The characters are put into some interesting situations: very creative scene design. Good main character casting, very entertaining. Solid character growth. Soulful dialogue, and Good acting from the main cast. 👍

Cons: Some of the costume designs are basic. Basic scene music. Production is good, but could have been a little bit stronger. Some dramatic scenes drag longer than needed. Scene editing shakey at times.

Overall: To be honest this is a grate show. Good t.v reflection of human survival. Anyone who knows anything about t.v or film could not rate this no lower than an 8 out of 10. It can be scary and gory at times: but it's called the walking dead for a reason. First 3 seasons are excellent. Im guessing their the best ones to be honest. 5,6,7, and 8 are grate too. However the Negan saga had some of the better acting. Final rating: 8.2 out of 10.

People can say what they like about The Walking Dead, yes I've watched other shows, and yes I'm aware of The Walking Dead's Falloff. Which is why I'm only focusing on the first 8 Seasons. Those 8 Seasons, well, let me tell you, they were phenomenal. Now let me get it out of the way, yes The Walking Dead is not the best TV Show, I know that, and I also don't think so. But it doesn't change the fact it's my favourite. An amazing cast of characters and Top Notch Acting.

The only thing I'm really sad, or disappointed about is why on earth this show is still going. So I will say that. The Later Seasons (S9-S11) are actually good seasons, it's just that they're completely unnecessary and the show should've long ago at S8.
