I know lots of people complain about the show including myself but one of my biggest issues is how the show manufactures drama by making characters take turns acting angry and behaving essentially like a$$holes. It's just not good TV and in turn makes you resent characters like Glenn and Carl. In this setting people would be too busy just trying to stay alive to constantly dwell on negatives as you would need a positive outlook to truly survive in this world.

That said for all the bad acting, terrible writing, etc. I still feel compelled to watch the show every week so it's obviously doing something right. I just feel when the show is over its going to be looked at as a show that never fully realizes its potential but at the same time its a Zombie show like nothing else on TV so it's been worth the watch on that alone.

Oh and I have to point out another stellar scene of master sharpshooting with the group taking out all those zombies with head shots even with automatic weapons.
