The Walking Dead

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.

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.

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.

Frank Darabont spent 5 years developing The Walking Dead and was instrumental in establishing the tone, visual style and what the zombie outbreak would look and feel like. He wrote and directed the pilot episode "Days Gone Bye" delivering a unique setup and live action that was compelling and believable. I also give credit to Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Glen Mazzara (all excellent) for continuing to keep the show on track after Frank's departure. The original cast also played a integral role I also give much credit all of them as well as Greg Nicotero, Tom Luse and Angela Kang for their early work.

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.
