How about well developed characters? Avoidance of exaggerated cliches? Some sort of creativity that stops the show from just hitting the exact same notes over and over.
I get it, Rick doesn't want to be leader, Rick leads anyway, Rick is defeated, Rick doesn't want to be leader, Rick leads anyway, Rick is defeated, Rick doesn't want... etc.
Maybe it's because zombies aren't all that interesting after 4 seasons. Maybe it's because I know where the Abraham arc goes. I don't know. But what I want? I just want the show that it's fully capable of being. The show that it hasn't been for at least a season, maybe two.

I don't think the show is stupid, and I'll post here to discuss this show in whatever fashion I'd like. I'm absolutely contributing to the discussion, are you? Tell me what's great about it? Tell me why this season is worth it? Because so far, it's the worst season yet. I never said it was a bad show, so no, I don't think it's "stupid," I'm just frustrated by a show with such high potential falling into the same trap that SOA did. I like the way Michonne is developing (as Pierre said), but it's coming at the expense of characters like Rick and Daryl who are just sort of spinning their wheels.
