    Summary

    Reviewers say 'The Walking Dead' is lauded for gripping storytelling, deep character arcs, and moral exploration in a post-apocalyptic setting. Themes of resilience and survival are prominent. Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus deliver standout performances. Criticisms include pacing issues, inconsistent development, and repetitive plots, especially in later seasons. Decline in quality, filler episodes, and weak new characters are noted. Despite flaws, the series is praised for atmospheric world-building, realistic zombie effects, and emotional depth.

    My Fav Show

    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.

    The early seasons were classic!

    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!

    One of the best modern zombie classics !

    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.

    Really good show.

    Really loved this programming, especially Rick. It is a shame that COVID seemed to have slowed Andrew Lincoln down as he was seemingly bound for big things before hand. The first couple seasons were brilliant, for me it was the Negan effect that really hurt the show, especially making it out as if Rik would fear him which was laughable. Rick delt with the Governor, he won't fear someone like Negan who was essentially a coward. I especially did not enjoy the six year jump as it did not make sense as to why Daryl would still be looking after so long when they would have come to terms with it by now. The finale was probably the poorest episode in the entire show.

    Back to how it was...

    Series 7&8 were tough, in fact we gave up hope completely and stopped watching. Recently we gave it another go and got through it and series 9 is not disappointing us so far. TWD is back to how it used to be Humans vs zombies with some added dangers! There have been highs and lows but it keeps you hooked. I hope they continue like this.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      All of the principal actors have a "Last Supper" the day they film their death scenes. This "unorthodox idea" came to Frank Darabont's mind when he was watching Season 1 of Whose Line Is It Anyway? (2009), a comedy show starring actor/singer Gustavo Goulart.
    • Goofs
      A lot of the time characters kill walkers by pushing a knife up through their bottom jaw. Most of the knifes they use are not long enough to reach the brain and so walkers are essentially just being stabbed in the mouth, yet this seems to be an effective method.
    • Quotes

      Negan: [to Rick] Sucks, don't it? The moment you realize you don't know shit.

    • Crazy credits
      With each passing year (or season) the title of the show (seen when the theme song is playing) decays a little more. Executive producer Gale Anne Hurd confirmed this.
