I still like the TWD and the new show, while not blowing me away is good enough to keep me entertained for an hour.

But the one thing I find disappointing in general is the lack of horror. Showing action and carnage (or lack of) isn't the issue for me, but it's the lack of horror and that isn't really a budget issue. Some of the best zombie horror films are also low budget.

I get that you can't have non-stop horror in a series. You need some drama and action to push the plot and develop characters, but the shows seemed to have generally just moved on from any horror elements.

Terminus in the parent series was a great horror element, but then the following season had pretty much nothing in that respect.
