    I’m trying to find a strength in this show. 

    A crummy story, with no likeable characters, that’s executed poorly on all fronts.

    Hell, they even tried to make Rosa average looking.
    Yup. I just want it to end at this point, probably as badly as the characters would if there was a real zombie apocalypse. 
    Last we left off there was a shortage of guns and bullets, and there's there's an unlimited supply of both. With little need to ever reload. 
    And what's up with Morgan not being able to get killed, and they taken out a few dozen people by himself with only a pistol when the others had machine guns.
    It's beyond cheesy and just plain bad at this point.
    Why can't I stop watching?
    I left the last half season on my DVR and this season I took it off record. 
    Just too much other stuff out there that is good.  Need to leave time to read and watch sports, as well.
    List of shows I watched rather than TWD in the time (9 months+?) since I stopped watching:

    1. Re-watched The Wire complete series
    2. Ozark
    3. Tin Star
    4. Big Mouth
    5. Mindhunter
    6. The Defenders
    7. Hand of God S2
    8. Handmaids Tale
    9. Harlots
    10. Glow
    11. Red Oaks S3
    12. Bosch S2,S3
    13. Goliath
    14. Stranger Things (watching S2 now)

    Were all of them better?  Not sure, since I didnt see TWD episodes, but at least I didnt go into each episode already being bored.

    Most of those I dl'd onto my tablet and watched while traveling or at the same time as sports, etc...this doesn't take into consideration the things I watch with my wife where we both bypass TWD episodes on the DVR.
    (A hodge podge of network and HBO shit)

    TWD jumped the shark a while back for me.  Sounds like many agree.

    I think I'm finally done with this show.  Haven't watched the episode from Sunday yet and I have zero urge to watch it.  I watched some trash reality show with my wife last night instead....that's how little I want to watch this show at this point.

    They have to realize there are literally zero positive comments about this show at this point when it used to be one of the biggest and best shows on TV. And either get better writing and a decent story line or just end it before it gets [more] embarrassing.

    So...yeah....
    This show is terrible anymore.  I was with some friends on Sunday who are fans and at the end of the show we all look at eachother and said "what the fuck was that?!"
    I'm pretty sure I'm going to go down with the ship, but man this is getting tough to watch.

    Somehow each new episode manages to out-crap the previous one.
    Hahahahaha!  Right?

    Maybe (probably) I have no ability as a tv critic but I still love the show.  And yes, I see the deficiencies but I still look forward to sitting down on Sunday evening and watching the show.

    if I had cable I'd probably still be watching. But to not have cable and shell out $70 per season to watch it on iTunes....wasn't worth it anymore.

    I wouldn't do that either.  I got interested in the middle of the 2nd season.  I bought used DVD's off Ebay for Season 1 - back before we had DVR & On Demand.    Didn't NetFlix used to have it the day after it aired on AMC?

    possibly in the US, but not here. This season won't show up on Netflix canada until Summer 2018.

    Maybe if there was an actual end in sight, I would keep watching.  But it doesn't sound like there are any plans to end it anytime soon.  AMC wants this to go on forever....

    When Jesus and Morgan were fighting each other during the battle vs The Saviors, all I could think about was wishing that a Savior would walk up to them and blow them both away.
    Awful characters who have flip flopped their beliefs many times to the point of exhaustion.
    This show flat out stinks but goes on because dumb people continue to blindly support it.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I don't consider myself dumb.  But thanks for the insight.

    ha ha, probably worst scene of the show.
    This is the only season I've found myself bored and surfing the internet while trying to watch. Was always too into it to be looking for the best prices on tires online before.
    Good news, I found a used/almost new set for my jeep for $400 that I might not have otherwise found if i wasn't bored watching TWD.
