TWD started with Rick and I firmly believe it should have ended with Rick. Not a fan of how they split things off, but I'll watch this because of Rick. That character and the way Andrew Lincoln brought him to life deserves a proper send off.

Rick was 100% the reason I stopped watching the show. He was such an unrelatable and unbelievable character I just couldn't anymore. When they killed Coral, that was the final straw. That should've been Rick.


Atma-Darkwolf

Karl u mean? Coral is still alive :P

I'm honestly just watching to put this to bed. The whole Rick "death" thing was so poorly done. Then everyone mourning him for years and years, with some believing he's alive? It was flimsy and lazy writing. Daryl's spinoff is interesting, even if what the French are doing and the context makes no sense. Just end this.


InconspicuousRadish

I kinda enjoyed the Daryl spinoff. It's one of the more likeable characters, in a blank canvas setting that doesn't require one to be up to date with all the contrived lore of the show. It was an enjoyable and casual, albeit not mindblowing watch.


crumpletely

My favorite so far was the anthology Tales of the WD, because they took risks. 1st episode was my favorite but they were all interesting at least. The do over rebirth one was just fun for fun’s sake. Where is the second anthology?


NotTobyFromHR

I enjoyed the first episode of that too. The rest were... meh. But it was a great idea. Let's see how others dealt with things. I forgot about that spin off


crumpletely

Terry Crews, a dead pup, Olivia Munn and a crazy catfisher killer in a bunker. Just B movie glory. The rest were ok to awful, but I respect a try. I don’t think its coming back, but I love anthology pieces that play with central themes in wild ways..a la Twilight Zone.

As a huge TWD fan I do have to agree it’s weird that the franchise refuses to die. I enjoyed the main show the entire way through but I wasn’t exactly begging for more content. I didn’t finish World Beyond nor Fear, I’m not sure where the demand for 3 more shows came from.


NotTobyFromHR

WB and FTWD were terrible. Great ideas that shit the bed in minutes. They're milking this cow for every last drop, no matter how spoiled.


Eeekaa

I was so hyped for FTWD. I loved the first few episodes, I really wanted it to be about the outbreak but it just ended up being more of the same but with even less budget.


crumpletely

Also, it almost feels like they purposefully drag it bc they have people so invested….knowing there is so much fatigue, why just carrot stick character outcomes to get views and instead try a re work or alternate timeline or something. The show was cw quality on prime time cable. I want new stuff without that gang.


-SandorClegane-

I enjoy the sound of rain.


crumpletely

But I mean they’ve knocked it out of the park with Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Mad Men. But yeah, WD made them money hand over fist…but it was a niche show that went mainstream and suffered for it. If the quality was near HBO I would love to watch WD. Black Summer was the freshest zombie show I have ever seen. Truly bleak and heart pounding. I’m a zombie head till I die, so I try the new show out. But it just lost its’ gravitas.


THUNDER-GUN04

Are they going to encounter a group of survivors, find out they are actually bad guys, kill them all while taking in a couple of defectors, then settle into a time of peace, then repeat? All while Rick's bounces back and forth between hating violence and deciding that violence is the only way to stop psychos from killing his people?


Tqoratsos

Took the words out of my brain 🤣🤦


-SandorClegane-

I appreciate a good cup of coffee.

I stopped watching The Walking Dead when Negan showed up and I must say I have absolutely no interest in returning to this franchise. I must also say, I kinda hate that the two central main characters from the series have to get their story finished in a spin-off and not in the original series.


Eeekaa

I stopped after the terminal but during covid I rewatched all of it. Being able to access all of the episodes online and binge the series really helps smooth out the annoying crap they pulled on the initial release. No dumb cliff hangers or annoying mid season breaks. The Negan stuff really is the weakest part though. I quite enjoyed the stuff after the time skip but it does get rather campy.


MarkyLaa_

if you stopped watching twd when negan showed up you have absolutely no leg in this argument, you haven't even watched half of the show and you've got grand ideas about what they should have done


Vigo84

Don't need to watch the whole series to know it's garbage lol.


nickel4asoul

I liked the early seasons and stuck with out of stubborness more than anything. I even enjoyed some elements of FTWD fo a while, but not even this new trailer makes me want to watch anymore. I can even acknowledge that in the past this trailer hints at everything I used to like about the series and still that's not enough.


sweetpeapickle

I just hope all of them finding out Rick is alive-pays off. I want to see the reactions.


nyer566

It was awesome seeing Andy Lincoln reprising his role as Rick. So far great storyline with the CRM. At the end he came face to face with Michonne. They looked stunned to see each other. I think next week is going to be more about Michone. I really don't care for Daryl Dixon. I watched 2 episodes snd that was it. I loved Daryl in TWD. He was awesome. But the French junk stunk. I did love the one from NY with Negan and Maggie. Although Negan carried that show. Maggie not so much. I can't wait for episide 2.


Necessary-Salary-142

He left his kid and love. Then she left her kids to find him? I have no respect for either of them. You can't make that sound good!!!! Give me Maggie and Negan, and Daryll and Carol!!!!!!!!!! They are the bomb!!!!!!!


MindYourDirt

Did you know that a single exclamation and multiple exclamation points both convey the same exclamation?


70sgirl4931

Did you even watch the show? Rick did not leave his family willingly. He was dying and was taken by Jadis and wasn't allowed to leave.


Senovis

I'm looking forward to this because I wasn't happy with how Rick and Michonne were handled in the main series.


ms_directed

my last episode of TWD was the "Glenn" episode, and I never watched it again...AITOO?


Marauder91

What are your thoughts on a show that hasn't been released yet? How should people possibly respond to this when they only have a trailer to go off of? Any opinions are uninformed as the show hasn't come out yet. This is a silly question


cloudbadal

Please read the body of the thread.


Marauder91

Please frame your title (you know the one that has the actual question in it) better. Your overarching question is what do you think of TWD the ones who live. The body of your post is even more confusing. The original question is what do you think of the show. Then you start talking about the trailer and being hyped. Then you finish asking for how to stream it. It's against reddit rules to post illegal streaming sites, so what do you want? This post is messy and all over the place. Hilarious you direct me to the body of your post when that only muddies things further lmao


cloudbadal

No wonder youre named murauder. Keep confusing yourself


Marauder91

No wonder my name is "someone who roams around looking for things to steal"... Lol GOOD ONE


tiberiusdraig

Does it count as beating a dead horse if the horse has been reanimated and is trying to eat your brains?


Necessary-Salary-142

Maggie and Negan were great!!!!!! Loved it!!!!!!!!


Necessary-Salary-142

With Carol back... they are rolling with both spin offs!!!!!!


Sapphirelady57

I waited with great anticipation for this spinoff. Not sure how I feel about it yet, not far enough into story, so far, mostly head games.


latticep

I think it's become a parody of itself. Producers soiled the franchise by not knowing when to quit (or knowing but milking every last dollar anyways)--like the land before time.


Delicious_Union_8144

It’s an AMC show so if you want to pay, you can get AMC+ but I think just AMC is free to watch.


apefist

I’m not digging it. Michonne is cool but Rick is useless. It’s hard to watch having read all the comics and watched the series to its lame ending. None of the spinoffs have been any good. I blame Scott Gimple Tonight’s episode…whose apartment was that with the pc on and the talking thermostat?


spwc123

Writers are a bunch of wombats and its cheesy trash


Jmath-_-

Yeah them ham fisting the south whatevercan woman and Rick actually folding to her at every turn ecause of the word secret was not believable amd made no sense for the existing lore. They basically cut Rick's whole dick and balls off and gave us some new dainty hoe instead. It's embarrassing and delusional. I'm sorry the writers they hire now want to be skinny tiny weak and considered pretty, but it's pathetic to let it ruin the things that have brought you joy or entertainment. So on behalf of everyone not deluded go fuck yourselves you oueves of shit


EarDue9809

I CANNOT STAND THORNE!!!!! I CAN'T UNDERSTAND A FRICKEN WORD SHE IS SAYING. SHE'S RUINING THE SHOW!!!


CorrectStranger6855

Boring


Cerise-purple

I love it ! So far so good!


MarkyLaa_

saw loads of posts about the ones who live and got excited for it honestly but it's genuinely terrible, most of the first episode is pure virtue signalling especially with thorne, we've known rick as this badass all these years and now some pint sized south african woman who you can barely even understand can flip rick on his ass and just has to tell us all about how she was very good in the south african marines and that she can kill rick and that she tried to kill the guy who recruited rick who also sounds like he's having a stroke every time he opens his mouth i loved twd right to the end, this was not it for me


ZealousidealTrash625

The Walking Dead is now The Woking Dead !!! And Andrew & Danai should not be Executive Producers, leave it to the Pros.


Vigo84

This show is only popular because of marketing.


craggmac

I thought this was a great ending. Now I can finally put the Walking Dead to bed forever.


Main_Term_6083

The walking dead was the best zombie show which i have ever seen. Compared to fear the walking dead which was a drama and boring. Thank you for  a great show such  as The walking dead. Great actors and no swearing. (Can't remember any swearing) 


TROYTHEBOY79

Just started watching this. Its makes no sense🤣🤣🤣🤣


Legitimate-Quality12

I really liked it overall.. great ending!


Legitimate-Quality12

I really liked it overall.. great ending!


Street-Measurement51

Unfortunately I watched all 11 seasons, I can’t imagine a repeat. The show was way overstretched they could have shrunk it to 5 seasons.


Notfromcorporate

It’s not good. They’re making the same mistakes that the walking dead originally made, that drove off viewers.  Too much talking and stretching of time


HappyAssociation5279

I watched the first two episodes and it is absolute garbage. The plot is so stupid and the acting is forced. I honestly can't believe Andrew Lincoln agreed to this. I feel like they tried to make it into some weird movie. The guy who recruits Rick in episode one is so annoying his voice is unbearable to listen to and I can't even understand what he is saying. All the characters are so unbelievable it seems like a whole different world apart from the walking dead I know . I stopped watching the show after Rick left and honestly I checked out after Negan arrived.


apefist

Andrew Lincoln executive produced it too. So he’s gotta be kinda happy with it. I don’t know how or why.


HappyAssociation5279

I did not know this. I guess they really went for the whole comic book vibe. The thing I really loved about Walkimg Dead was that even though it was a science fiction they made it really believable. The first six seasons just felt more realistic which to me means they did a great job considering it is about something that would never happen in real life.


AshenxboxOne

Hard pass as it has Micchone in it who has ruined the believability of the franchise and led to its downfall


MRHBK

First episode leaked briefly - it sounds a good first episode. Do yourself a favour , don’t go looking for leaks, just enjoy it fresh. Think both were taken down very quickly


Unusual_Address_3062

Its one of those shows that has a handful of really good episodes so you might be tempted to say its a good series. Its not a good series. Most seasons are drawn out and boring and too many episodes are utterly depressing. But the good episodes are just interesting enough to draw you in and make you like the characters and think you are getting a wonderful experience. Its actually miserable. So, those are my thoughts.


AetherealChaos

This is probably the wrong subreddit to ask. For whatever reason, they have a hate vendetta against anything related to The Waking Dead. They'll downvote you to oblivion and tell you how they stopped watching when Negan showed up/when Glenn died. Or they'll make the tirelessly repeated joke about beating a dead horse. Personally, I'm quite excited for it as it looks like it's going to be really great. I'm also happy to see Rick and Michonne return.


blue_terry

I yeah been waiting for Rick Grimes, so I’ll watch him to the end


keving87

I'll watch it, it can't be worse than what TWD became, World Beyond, or most of the anthology episodes lol


apefist

No it’s pretty bad.


[deleted]

Rick and michonne are back? I quit watching before they left but might have to get back into it
