The Walking Dead.

Should have been cancelled like 9 seasons earlier.

Took me a few seasons to figure out that every season was the same. "I think we've found a place to settle down, but there might be a problem...".

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but for the first few seasons the problems were new and interesting at least.

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

First season was directed by Frank Darabont who is awesome at making great movies from written works of art. Then AMCunts saw this and fired him after awesome season one and replaced him with Glen Mazzara who never made anything worthy of note. They also doubled the number of episodes for same content and requested that more episodes are shot indoors to make everything earn more money. And it fucking worked.

I stopped watching when they introduced horrible CGI and fake gun effects (no knock back, no shell ejection, no slide movement).

I'd argue the first few seasons - apart from the horrible acting from time to time, and prolonged passages just to stretch time, and filler episodes, and dumb people, and...

Yeah, it was shitty from the beginning.

That and the stupid Hyundai always looking like it just rolled out of the shop.

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And you remembered it was a Hyundai, advertisers win again!

Yeah, but not quite. I'd never buy one because of this though.

Fun fact: I'm an online marketeer.

Haha I wish, but I get where you're coming from

I was with them up to the end of the second season with the farm.

After that they fell into the cycle of characters having to be excessively stupid to inject drama.

I stopped watching at the point where they pretended Glenn was dead, but he was actually hiding under the bin. Not because it was a cheap trick, but mostly because that was the point where I realised I no longer cared who was alive and dead.

[–] Spaceinv8er@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I stopped watching when Glenn finally died. Mainly due to the fact that I found out through social media because I missed the first episode of that season when they revealed who got beat with Negan's bat, and everyone on social media ruined the reveal.

He was my favorite character, and I know in the comics he dies much earlier than in the show, but I lost interest after that.

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that was almost the breaking point for me aswell. And IIRC it was a last episode of a season aswell. Fuck that cliffhanger.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

On the other hand, I would have been happy if Z-Nation had gone on as long as The Walking Dead.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was thinking the same for X-Files lol
