I loved the first few seasons but it went downhill.

“I loved the first few seasons but it went downhill.”

Which is why I firmly believe that all tv shows should go no longer than 6 seasons, and if they are story based rather than stand alone episodes, they really need to lead to a satisfying conclusion. How many shows have been destroyed by the jump the shark episode which likelyhood increases exponentionally from season 5 on

Yes. Within the Walking Dead universe is a “spiritus mundi” that longtime viewers share. They’ve seen it all. The zombie theme might seem endlessly interesting, but it’s not. The writers finally become boxed in, and all they have left is shuffling the deck chairs.

I have been quite bored the last couple of seasons. Less about a collapse of societal norms in the face of a post apocalyptic future and more about my d*** is bigger than yours.

Show runner Scott Gimple is out now, and has described the end of season eight as the end of everything in the series up until now. If that is true, then season nine will be radically different. I hope they get beyond zombies and petty fights and start rebuilding the world, I have wanted to see that for a long time.

It’s way! Just send the show in this direction.

They find a cure for zombieitis. They then have to build society and reintegrate the cured zombies back into society. I see endless shows regarding prejudice against ex-zombies. Shows discussing “living privilege” and how it hinders ex-zombies in advancing themselves.

WD has jumped shark.

It's not creative, not imaginative, kills off legacy characters and sub plots are cheezy. The season is stuck in this endless Saviors plot and Rick is wishy washy and it's stale. The show as a comic Pulp Fiction is rather comical on screen. Again, we are also seeing the sentimental side of Negan which is kind of silly I suppose. The foreshadowing is overdone. The next season needs fresh plots and expansion of the overall storyline.

And.... They find out the helicopter was actually military missions of some kind (looking for survivors?). That the world has indeed already started recovery. And our characters are like those Japanese after WWII stuck on an island not knowing the war has ended. They have been living only miles away from a totally civilized recovered America!
