It's actually not that surprising IMO. TWD is at its best when it follows the source material closely. When it veers off the beaten path it has been pretty mediocre as far as I'm concerned. Characters they've created have mostly been weak or one dimensional (Beth, Daryl, Enid, Denise, hospital characters, wolves). The storylines they've created leave something to be desired as well (Hospital, Terminus, wolves, extended prison/Govenor stuff not in comic).
If AMC tried to create it's own zombie show instead of using the established universe of TWD, I have no doubt it would've been a spectacular failure.
