Ok, I have been watching this show for YEARS. Like most people I like the weekly escape from my own life and have always found the characters relatable. Recent years the show has been doing these things that make trying to get into the show and enjoying it.

• Trying to create TO MANY sub plots I feel like I need to start tracking them on a white board.

• The EXCLUSIVE looks are absolutely torturous why do I spend Extra money to be tortured? I am really considering ending it just because of them, I would rather endure to COMMERCIALS than these. What does that say? They ad no value and are just to feed the show runners EGO.

• There is WAY too many "what was the point" plots and sub plots I guess that goes with the why I feel the need to start a white board.

• So many great performers on the show you tend to get attached to certain ones and relate to certain stories ex Negan is now married! That seems like a more interesting story than the love story Eugene, that's not I don't like Eugene it was a boring, dragged out storyline that STILL isn't going anywhere.

• Back in earlier seasons the elements of survival and "lord of the flies" aspect of developing new politics was fascinating to watch. Some how now it's like watching a Soap Opera version CSPAN.

If the spin off shows hope for ANY type of success there needs to be much more invested in writing and story line development. I did try and watch Fear of the walking dead but I truly could not watch it for similar reasons the things I listed above.

The performances are great, it's just one non engaging storyline after another. And the 10+ minutes of exclusive commentary is even far less interesting.

Great performances in a pointless episode, with zombies roaming the country side and the politics of the commonwealth Messing with Eugene in this way is just an unbelievable story arc and the commonwealth story line has been WAY to drawn out. I can honestly say this may be the last walking dead I watch. Show runners and writers REALLY should have reviewed walking dead's beginnings before creating this final season is Eugene going to be the one to jump the shark?
