Z Nation is great. It's campy and ridiculous yet, somehow, more believable than TWD.

Great explanation of the show.

Now, this is just My Opinion, so take that for what it's worth...

TWD was a GREAT series at the outset. Close enough to the pulp that you could follow and not facepalm often enough to turn it off. Give and take for artistic license, format considerations, storyline flow, etc., etc., etc.


Problem is, it went all M*A*S*H on us.
It's hard to develop and deliver consistent, long term, quality story lines to keep your viewers/followers interested. A lot of people end up watching out of habit.
Writers, or whoever , started to believe it was more important than it was. They couldn't resist having that many viewers/followers and not skew the story lines to address issues and causes they want to give a voice to.

Or maybe sometimes writers just get tired, lazy, and/or bored. And sometimes the actors get involved in various aspects of writing and production, and try to showcase themselves, or their ideals/causes.

I'll admit it. I really didn't care for the some of the later MASH episodes when they got a bit to esoteric and "feely".

I kind of felt like TWD was headed that way, and stopped watching - cold turkey.

Again, just my opinion, and YMMV.

Carry on.

This last season of TWD has been killer, literally.

Haven't watched for at least a couple seasons. That's great if they were able to give it legs again.

I've been told I need to watch "Fear TWD", unfortunately I'm only able to access the first six episodes on Hulu, not sure I'd want to get started and then just be cut off like that.

It only took us six episodes to make our minds up about it.

Imagine TWD, only you root for the characters to die horribly from the outset.

I watched TWD religiously until halfway through the Governor story arc, I couldn't go any further and gave it up. I got bored and started watching again but, again, gave up. I haven't seen an episode since the midseason finale with the trash hill folk. Of the episodes I've seen, only season one is worth watching. Fear the Walking Dead is even more horrible, it has all of the negatives of TWD but with even fewer positives. The problem is that none of the characters are likeable.

At this point, I'll wait for TWD to finish and may consider picking it up and bingeing straight through, I hope all of the characters die.

FTWD is lesser in my opinion. They've had plenty of time to not have it suck, and they certainly could have done better. TWD on the other hand still has my attention and viewership even though I'm not particularly happy about how they're running stuff, and it could be done better as well.

I will say that I'm still a TWD fan and will continue to watch the story play out. I've not yet decided to throw it all under the bus.

I really liked the Voltron remake, but even that is getting old.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I did watch the latest Star Wars release last night.

I'd rather have a projector in my head playing FTWD over that hot mess.
