Not complaining - I get it - but it is sorta an odd thing.

I think the reason is, it's popular with the masses, which is the easiest part. But it so popular, a lot of those that study the genre of TV, or comics, or writing, cannot deny it's popularity, so tthey're in as well.
Don't get me wrong. It's a better than the average show. But it's still scaled (purposefully or not) to your summer blockbuster crowd. Not your academy crowd. It fails at the high end of everything it does. Comics, writing, heck even action. It's sucking in the dramatic crowd. And then failing. If it was just a usual zombie deal, you wouldn't get that. But it's a beter than average zombie deal.
It's straddling a weird line. Not sure they care though, cause it's setting records.
Critically though, it's not a good show. Well, not great.
