    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.
