I watched season one. Having read the comic, I thought the show was very poorly made.

I think I finished the season that Rick "left" the show. Didn't stick around long after that, I don't really remember tbh.

Which time? First time through I stopped at season 2 because I got bored. About 3 years later, me and the misses decided to see it through and then stopped again at the infamous Negan scene at the end of 6 beginning of 7. Literally felt like I was kicked in the gut. Took about 6 months to get over that. Finally finished it but it was like a chore at the end.

Where they were in a junkyard and they had to fight some spike covered zombie.

Thought season 1 was bad and inconsistent and then quit either in the middle of season 2 or the end of it.

It was clear the writing was in conflict with production from the get go.

I don't have TV, so will catch shows later than everyone else of I hear good things. By the time I'd was ready to seek it out, the consensus was to not bother so I didn't.

Avoided Game of Thrones the same way (may still watch it except for the final season some day). Only watched Dexter for a few seasons and quit while I knew I was ahead. Etc.

I do the same with video games.

There's way too much media out there, so why not hold back a bit and wait for the dust to settle?

The hard part is the social aspect of media. It's not always about what's good, it's about the conversation surrounding the things. I get weird looks when I talk about Plex. Also xkcd comic cutting edge

When Dale died?

Season 2 was such a melodramatic let down.

After that first season I read most the comic books and loved them but the TV show just became so much worse, I couldn't stomach it.

I later found out the actor that played Dale wanted out because he was a close friend of Season 1 showrunner Frank Darabont who had been run off by AMC executives. Kinda tied it all together.

The graphic novels are great, though. Seriously, go read them.

I never started watching it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Never cared to watch it in the first place.

I actually just started watching it a few months ago as my background show while I was working.

I thought it was pretty good and just fine at times, but the last episode of season 6/beginning of season 7 I had to stop.

This is the first show I've watched with any sort of gore since my son was born and I realised I can't take the the dark psychological stuff I used to. Watching the scene where negan is telling rick to cut off his sons arm was my breaking point before going back to curious george.

My only son just turned two, I feel this. I used to watch that kind of stuff all the time and now I watch an episode of bluey and break into tears. Anything with children in harms wayI just can't anymore. it seems like every show does now that I'm a parent

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I don't even have kids and Bluey makes me break into tears for being so wholesome

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

i think i watched more at some point, but i checked out when one guy chose a more direct route to somewhere through a tunnel instead of going around. and omg!!! there were a bunch of zombies in all those wrecked cars? who could have seen that coming!

i liked most of the first season of fear the walking dead, and it quickly turned terrible as well. wish that series had stayed on the initial outbreak and collapse a little longer.

First episode of the second season

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I read the comic. I liked it. I saw that first episode. Didn't bother with the second.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Episode two. I just couldn't believe the characters. Their reactions to everything felt so far-fetched. I think the racist guy was really what did it for me.

End of season 1. Liked it, but not enough to keep going.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Season 3 was my last season.
