    Walking dead. The opening episode is so fucking stupid and poorly written. People were just desperate for any zombie show at the time.

    I even asked a fangirl why they watch this shit ass show. She agreed it was shit but says she kept going cause your brain forgets the bad bits and remembers the good.

      It was also just so goddamn boring. Far too much talking and milling about, not enough walking dead.

      Yeah, for me The Walking Dead were the non-zombie characters, on the run with no expectation of anyone surviving to their next birthday.

      When that show was popular, I had a boyfriend that didn’t seem able to handle the idea of us liking different things. I never cared for zombies, but I’d heard good things about The Walking Dead and gave it a try. I pushed myself to watch the entire first season before deciding, “Nope, I can’t.”

      But when I told that boyfriend? Apparently I “didn’t watch it enough.” When I told him I didn’t care for zombie stories, he insisted, “But it’s not about zombies! It’s about the people.” Uhh yeah, it’s about people in a world with zombies. I could watch a million shows about “people” that don’t involve zombies, so why would I keep watching this one that I already don’t like?

      Same, only watched the first two episodes and was just bored and weirded out by the writing. Heard much better about the last of us series.
