I love how they treat a bit character from a single episode in the first season of the show like the return of a main character on the show. "We ain't takin' care of grannies no more, Rick."

Every episode of this show could just be two people standing alone in a room yelling back and forth at each other "We have to kill them" and "No we don't" over and over. Occasionally they trade places. That's literally all this show ever is.

It's like they only shot one take of every scene and never watched any of it back until it aired. It's a shame because there was easily enough story and stuff happening to make that into an entertaining and tense episode.

E: to be fair, dude was in like... maybe four or five episodes? But the most I remember is Merle (RIP) calling him a 'taco-bender'

It's a shame because there was easily enough story and stuff happening to make that into an entertaining and tense episode. 99% of the time the main cast are miserable, oscillating between grim determination to sad to angry and back. The action scenes would be a bit more impactful if it didn't feel like they should all be on suicide watch. I sure hope these sad tormented souls get rid of Negan so they can be sad and tormented without the threat of Negan.

I will freely cop to having enjoyed the show for years, compelling characters, lots of eye candy (IF I had to choose between Rick and Daryl I'd pick Daryl but wonder if I'd made a mistake.) I've rewatched all of it and still enjoyed it (especially that first season. ) Started to get concerned last season---- But oh god season 8 is starting out so goddamn badly.... Just awful, NO redeeming qualities whatsoever. It took me until now to give up on it ever getting better and I'm bummed. Will try FTWD based on this thread, watched season 1, eh, but will watch 2 to get to 3.

I'd no-joke love to read a book or study or even just a long-form well-researched article about why and how otherwise decent shows such as those in your example "go bad" and to what extent anyone involved with the production is aware of it. Like, are they genuinely as delusional as they appear to be in those making-of documentaries we get, you know the ones where all the actors and producers gush about how lucky they are to be involved with something so amazing, and about how being on set is like being part of some wonderful family? Or is ALL of that just another act, no different to playing their roles in the main show, and behind the scenes they're all like "this is a shitshow lol"?

Season 3 was one of my favorite seasons of either show though.

Season 3 was one of my favorite seasons of either show though. There's a point in 2 where every single character abruptly goes insane for no reason that was so poo poo, and there was a lot of trash in the last half of the season. The first half wasn't bad. Season 3 though, it really was the WD people wanted. Sure glad they fired the show runner for that. The first episode was a little rough since it was bridging the last mess left behind but it's solid as hell past that. It really found it's identity being about the people who are quickly sliding to the villain scale, and it made a lot of the other lovely things they did throughout the series fit so much better. ED: Hell, it's pre-episode flashbacks and stuff actually were done with, well, quality and style there which just makes "MONTAGE.. OF.. EYES.." even more embarrassing. Panzeh posted:I can't really think of a show that doesn't get worse over the later seasons. Breaking Bad ended on it's best season. And I know it'll probably be super unpopular to say as always, but Agents of Shield is a show that literally seems to be on a reverse curve, where every season is an improvement on the last and it started out really, really bad. It's kind of fascinating, never seen that trajectory before. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 11:23 on Nov 3, 2017 |

Panzeh posted:I can't really think of a show that doesn't get worse over the later seasons. As some have pointed out there are examples. And yeah, all long-running shows have dips in quality here and there, but some just seem to suffer from it so much more pointedly than others - the walking dead being a particularly frustrating example. And when you take these shows and look at them for reasons why, all I'm saying is that it would be interesting to see if there are any commonalities between them, or did each one have a seperate completely individual reason for its abnormally steep plummet in quality?

Spartacus was kind of like that but it's bad period was only the start of season one and then it just got better and better. +1 to The Leftovers and Breaking Bad. Shows that ramp up the tension and stakes tend to have amazing final seasons ie Breaking Bad, The Shield, Black Sails etc.

My only gripe with the Breaking Bad conclusion was that I felt like they half-assed the villains.

Sopranos also ended on a high note, there wasn't a dip in quality. Though the ending left something to be desired depending on who you ask. Edit: someone else mentioned The Leftovers, I totally agree. If anything, it should have gone on a longer. Somehow, I felt both dread and hopeful watching that show.
