My wife watched it last night and was kind of disappointed. The ratings for this season so far haven't been that good. The ratings have been declining since last season.
I wonder if people just get tired of it. It’s run a lot of seasons. It’s hard to maintain interest. Zombies are so last decade.
I have to admit: the directing, scripting, characterization, acting - even the lush Georgia or nearby environment and camera... excellent from the get-go.
I was disappointed when they did not shoot Negan as he just stood there yapping at them when they were shooting up his place-- it was a perfect time (as there have been others) to just take him out---there have been a couple of times where the stretching out of theme and characters in the theme has been lost on me. Other than that-- still watching for when they do actually win? (Carrot is out there for me still)
