Did you lose interest?

Yes, I lost interest around the introduction of Negan and the killing of Glenn, so somewhere around season 7. It wasn't even necessarily those storytelling elements that lost my interest but the show just grew too tiresome and repetitive. It's a shame because I still have a lot of fond memories of the first 5 seasons.

The show is only following its graphic novel. But, I agree some of the stories under the last show runner dragged on too long. Too many interesting characters were written off the show, too. It has seen better days, but I still find it interesting enough to keep watching for now.

Exact same thing happened at our house. We were fans until Negan showed up. We stopped watching during Season 7.

The best episode they ever did in my opinion was the first Negan episode. I was absolutely riveted and shocked the whole time! It was also heartbreaking. I felt like I’d been through hell after that episode ended, haha. It’s one of my all time favorite episodes of any television show I’ve ever seen. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a villain make that kind of impact right off the bat. I loved how brutal and intense it was, and it made me root for the protagonists so much more after they were just destroyed in every way.

It went slowly downhill since then though, with some big moments and good moments here and there...but I think I’m finally losing interest after the whisperers plot ended, and it’s mainly because the show has slowed to a stand still. You go weeks without the plot moving forward. It’s been 3 weeks since we’ve seen Negan, and it never shows everyone in the same episode anymore. I can’t stand one episode focusing on 2 or 3 people.

So I turned off the “princess” episode after 20 minutes, and I passed on the Daryl/Carol only episode last week too.

Start making things happen! This show used to be incredible, but now I’ve never seen so much random filler with nothing happening.

That’s when my husband and I lost interest as well. It was the same show every episode. It started out so good though for a few seasons. We loved it!!
I don’t know if any of the originals are still there or not..

I'm surprised people have lasted as long with this show as they have. The first 3 seasons were entertaining enough but you realise pretty quickly that there are only so many times they can find a location to settle down for a while, before things go awry and it gets overrun by zombies, and they have to go find a new location to rinse and repeat the process. That simply gets tiresome.

I can't remember what season the last episode I saw was in (either 5 or 6), it was when the group had found what seemed like a safe haven again run by an old woman and her husband, and the husband got killed. It was a mid-season or end of season finale and I haven't had much of a desire to revisit it.

The zombie outbreak genre is not cut out for a drawn out series because once you get to that "group of survivors" stage there are not too many places to go. I can only imagine how much of a chore it is to watch at season 10 of this show.

Same here. I read the comic, so I started watching when it initially began airing. It held my interest until Negan showed up, at which point it became a chore to watch. We watched until the resolution of the Negan storyline, then abandoned the show. I didn't even realize it was still on the air until I saw it trending today.

I never had interest. Zombies are boring trivialities, and REAL zombies are the product of Voodoo, not the George Romero bullshit.
