Sorry if this was mentioned (I am trying to avoid spoilers from the last episode), but I read that the first episode of the season was one of the highest rated for TWD, but it has slid since then and episode 5 of this season was the lowest rated since season 3.
I think like a lot of people, the lack of an end game in sight is making it less interesting. It's just rinse and repeat. It might work good for a graphic novel, but for TV that structure doesn't seem as viable. I still like the show, but with so many other good shows and limited time, it is starting to feel more like a chore.
Also, I think the first episode of the season was so dark that some people were turned off by it.
