I still watch but I don't know how many more seasons I can tune into the same storyline of the group stumbling on to the next Governor or Negan that is threatening their existence. Zombies aren't really part of the show anymore and it feels like they have blown their wad with the Negan story line as where do they go from here? Another bad ass villain with his army? Been there done that. I would hope for maybe some sort of new zombie mutation or possibly animals getting the infection to change things up. Bottom line is that I've invested years in watching this show and it would be a shame to not see it to the end but that's kind of where the show is heading and I'm watching it more out of completion than enjoyment.
The ratings are down almost 25% from last season and are at a 4-year low but even at that it's still one of the most watched shows on TV so AMC will likely want to milk this out as long as possible. I just hope they have a long term vision that involves more than bean counters trying to milk ratings as long as possible.
