14. Sadly it isn't as popular anymore and it's only going to get worse (spoilers)

Now overtime it's been losing viewers due to Glenn and Abe being brutally killed by Negan in season 7. And from there on, it's been getting worse. Boring story lines, uninteresting characters that no one cares about that are getting too much airtime and don't have development. Then Carl getting killed really drove it home and sent the main star to want to leave.

And now we reach season 9, it's reached it's lowest views since season 1 and then some. Once Rick and Maggie die, it'll drop even more since the story revolves around Rick Grimes. Not Daryl, Carol or anyone. It was Rick's story and now? Once he is gone. It's going to drop even more to undesirable points. I gave up after season 7. I couldn't watch it any longer due to the terrible subplots and stale story.

Thing is Scott Gimple really ruined once a great show. The new show runner won't be able to save the series. It just needs to end and be done for good.

You have to watch a few episodes, it is just plain interesting katmondoo Oct 2018 #1

It is a survival story at its heart... Not a typical zombie story, in fact one could imagine hlthe2b Oct 2018 #9
