I think I stopped when they just found Alexandria. Honestly the intro theme is what kept me coming back when it was getting really slow, like The Governor's arc.
I actually just started watching it a few months ago as my background show while I was working.
I thought it was pretty good and just fine at times, but the last episode of season 6/beginning of season 7 I had to stop.
This is the first show I've watched with any sort of gore since my son was born and I realised I can't take the the dark psychological stuff I used to. Watching the scene where negan is telling rick to cut off his sons arm was my breaking point before going back to curious george.
My only son just turned two, I feel this. I used to watch that kind of stuff all the time and now I watch an episode of bluey and break into tears. Anything with children in harms wayI just can't anymore. it seems like every show does now that I'm a parent
I don't even have kids and Bluey makes me break into tears for being so wholesome
Would you believe didn't bother to start with it?
Same with Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad.
Not for edgy, cooler than thou reasons, hilariously enough. Didn't have the time between bringing my cybersecurity education up to date and learning about hacking and stuff, and never bothered going back for them.
When Michonne punched Rick for calling out that community of people that were doing shady shit. (Season 6, I believe?) I couldn't handle any more.
when they made what's his face(can't recall it atm) a giant pushover is when I stopped It completly broke his character and it was so jarring that I walked away and never went back. Like polar opposite of his personality from the first few seasons. Didn't set right
Negan? Yeah he went from a charismatic psychopath to the sympathetic grandmother.
Yea him I believe, I was already kind of on the way out but that 180 flip cemented it
Pretty much when I realized each season was them just taking over another town killing the leader because one of their own got captured. Plus Carl was super annoying lol
It looks like I have 24 episodes that I haven't watched.
Never cared to watch it in the first place.
Season 1 when the incredible Frank Darabont was fired. If you’ve ever wondered why the quality dropped off hard after season 1… that’s why. In a show that was ostensibly a character driven drama, the show lost a showrunner that directed The Shawshank Redemption. This is the same guy that directed and wrote the screenplay for the movie adaptation of The Mist, and wrote an ending so good that Stephen King preferred it over his own ending.
Yeah it was around season 3 that there basically stopped being zombies, or what zombies there were ended up being completely inconsequential and everyone just had so much plot armor.
I think season 2 was the last for me.
3rd episode of the first season. I thought to myself this is nothing more than a soap opera... Never watched it again
I read a few of the comics before the show came out. First episode I said no thank you.
Same. I never understood the appeal.
i think i watched more at some point, but i checked out when one guy chose a more direct route to somewhere through a tunnel instead of going around. and omg!!! there were a bunch of zombies in all those wrecked cars? who could have seen that coming!
i liked most of the first season of fear the walking dead, and it quickly turned terrible as well. wish that series had stayed on the initial outbreak and collapse a little longer.
Whatever season it was with the old man and the farm and barn. When Grampa kept threatening to kick them out. The ex cop should've stomped that old man to death.
2 I believe. I stopped there too after coral took a round from a hunter.
Right here
Coral!
Like half way thru season 3
I gave up after Season 7. To be fair I did have a social obligation watching with friends and pizza every week, and we spent Season 7 making fun of it before someone said "I think the show might be bad now" and we stopped.
Yeah I think I just watched to see how the Negan plotline played out and then I was done. It was starting to get stupid before then, but the Negan reveal where he killed someone and didn't show it in the season finale (tune in next season to find out who he killed!) was the point where I started to think "this show isn't getting better, it's getting worse."
It wasn't a conscious decision, just more of a meh, don't feel like watching it. It sent from a show I watched religiously every week to a show I couldn't be bothered with. The Negan plot-line could have been great but they went to gimicky with it.
Gave up watching a couple eps before the S3 finale. I just couldn't do it anymore. Even by S3 the show seemed like it was repeating the same beats over and over again. The survivors made decisions that anybody in a similar situation would never make ("realism" be damned if it ruins the immersion), and it just became tedious viewing (how many times are we going to travel between Woodbury and the Jail?). What was awkward were my friends that remained invested and kept inviting me over to viewing parties on season premieres or half season finales, and I just have to pretend I'm having a good time watching a show that I care exactly zero about lol good vibes though because everyone else is super stoked so you win some you lose some.
Episode two. I just couldn't believe the characters. Their reactions to everything felt so far-fetched. I think the racist guy was really what did it for me.
Ironically I found Merle to be the most interesting character in the early eps.
