This is a good show up to the beginning of season seven. At the beginning of season seven they nuke Texas, and then a bunch of the characters just live in the irradiated zones. They jumped the shark. I think it has been downhill from there. I've been watching season eight: if you want to watch a bunch of people so damaged by their experiences that they cannot act in the world, here is your season. It does not make for compelling watching.

The only thing to fear is the story writing. Massive plot holes and absolutely no character building with exception to the Nick and Daniel characters which were interesting enough however, they can't carry the show. Horrible story and asinine. Should have stopped after season one. Frank Dillane and Rubén Blades are great actors however, the rest of the cast (especially Alycia Debnam-Carey, Kim Dickens, Cliff Curtis, and Lorenzo James Henrie) are just painful to watch.

I have no problems with the show. It defiantly tries to find its legs as it shows the early stages of the catastrophe while Rick lies in a coma on TWD. It does need to stop relying on the walker-guts approach or else it will look like lazy writing. My main problem is with the delivery of the episodes. Why does iTunes already have eps 14 and 15, while this service does not? I managed to get the previous eps in the season's second half right on Monday, now not so much. This isn't Google's problem, just AMC being in Apple's expensive back pocket. I would like to cast these last two episodes. Please allow Google play to post them ASAP. The show I would give four stars, the delivery in this situation would earn 2.
