But I dont remember where I left off, so even if I wanted to I dont know where to re-start and I dont really want to hop around a bunch of episodes to see if I remember where we were.
Furthermore...it lost my wife so I'd get a snarky "How was The Walking Dead?"
"Oh...it was awful."
I used to love Sunday evening TV. Walking Dead, Hell on Wheels, Game of Thrones, but then it all went to hell.

Hell on Wheels was also a great show. Suffered from long breaks that would stall momentum, but great cast and story.
Like most others with TWD, I gave up long ago. I think I watched a bit more after big 'who will Negan kill' cliffhanger, but that was about the time I checked out.
Most of the complaints seem to be centered around how the show lost its zombie focused roots, aside from season 1, did it really have any??? Season 2 was the memorably slow and boring farm time. And then we already started setting up the eventual pattern of settle down -> new bad guy destroys everything -> gear up to beat bad guy -> battle that became the rest of the show?
I remember when I decided to stop watching I went ahead and read comic spoilers to at least see what happened in general. And much of what I read there pointed to the same content people dislike in the show; a bunch of people politics as settlements battle for supremacy. I wonder if people knew thats what they were in for all along if it would have ever become so popular?
Who knows, I just like to read this thread to know if the show ever got its act together.
