    The first episode of season 7 is an unrelentingly bleak assault of torture, pain, and gore. Characters are taken out in gratuitously brutal fashion.

Episode 2-5 has been such a drag,seems like the writers from Fear the Walking dead has taken over the writing room. The dialogue is long, dry and you can easily just skip some of the dialoguie without missing the plot of an episode. Maybe the first episode of season 7 spoiled me. Watching these episodes in 1,5x speed helps though...

    Looks like the corporation of AMC just wants to milk this cow to the bitter end, when perhaps no one is watching the series anymore?    … Expand

    After watching the first episode of season 7, I felt physically and mentally ill for about two days afterward. And it wasn't so much about the violence. Everyone says it's what crossed a line.

And it wasn't so much about the violence. Everyone says it's what crossed a line. I don't think that's what it was - or it wasn't just that. We've seen a lot of brutal themes and violence on the show before. It's based on a zombie apocalypse after all - there's been carnage throughout it since season one.

    I think what really changed for me is that up until a point I always felt like there was some hope for the characters, for their humanity, and some hope for their world, like the season with the Governor where Rick tried to persuade him that he too could redeem himself, and come back from what he had become, of course right before he killed Hershel with the sword. It was still an interesting moral opportunity.

    There was always something to strive and hope for. Terminus was supposed to be a safe haven, and then they found Alexandria. Abraham and Eugene were originally trying to get everyone to Washington DC because that's where people with the cure were etc... Rick finds a new woman, etc... Things were looking up! That's what made the story so great, watching our beloved characters survive and get rewarded for their resilience, tragedy, and loss.

    By the end of season 6, these same heroes have now become premeditated cold blooded murderers killing people in their sleep. That was something I had a hard time with but I swallowed it. I understood that they couldn't take chances anymore.

    With the introduction of Negan and his merciless group, TWD now portrays a world that I want nothing more to do with. There's no way for anyone to come back from anything now. No moral retribution.

    Is it healthy to continue watching a show just to satisfy a desire for revenge? Do we watch right until the end of the season to see Negan get what's coming to him? Is it enough? Is it healthy? I don't think so.

    To all the die-hard comic book fans, I don't care if all of it is true to the comic. After 7 years of being a very strong fan of just the TV show, I am completely done watching it. I stopped watching after season 7 episode 1 and I honestly don't feel like I'm missing out. In fact, I highly recommend it to everyone. You'll take a sigh of relief and your mental health will thank you. And you'll ask yourself why you ever bothered.    … Expand

I've actually given up watching because after each show I'm too frustrated imagining what I would have done and pissed off at Rick (and Darryl) for NOT doing it.

The extra communities and things they've written in are useless, pointless and boring; only contributing to the poor decisions of Rick and Co. The finale was, again, awful.

    I understand that we need to understand Negan's environment but you can tell more than that in a single episode. I thought the war against Negan would end in this season but they want to take another one to extend the story.

    The Walking Dead lost everything that I loved about the show. The season 7 premiere was so disgusting that I could not sleep. It is no longer a fun science fiction show about zombies and great characters. Watching my favorite character die in the most undignified and demoralizing way was enough for me to cancel it on my dvr.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m just going to come right out and say it, I thought this season was awful.

    As the show reached the mid-season break it had basically gone nowhere. To be honest The Walking Dead has always had a history of dragging out plots for far longer than necessary but, following the shocking events of the season opener, you could have effectively skipped most of the first eight episodes and not really have missed anything. The episode entitled “Swear” for example was not only dull but it also failed to move the plot forward even a jot and quite why we needed a whole episode of watching Daryl being kept prisoner by Negan I have no idea.

    The mid-season finale did appear to offer some hope as it seemed as though Rick and co. were finally going to start fighting back but, until the last 20 minutes of the last episode we were still in pretty much the exact same position having spent more time showing over and over again that Negan and his “saviours” aren’t very nice people. The final nail in the coffin is that, having spent the entire season apparently building up to a big conflict, the writers even managed to mess that up! We got about 15-20 minutes of action, in which Rick yet again showed his stupidity when he was double crossed by a strange group of people that he’d decided to trust with everyone’s lives (These people live in a rubbish dump and for some reason speak in broken English), before Negan drove off into the sunset leaving us with a 6 month wait before we get any sort of resolution.

    Looking for positives, there were some good zombie killing scenes and I guess the tiger was pretty cool, even if I have no idea how it knew to only attack the bad guys.    … Expand

    Boring and some events/attitudes/reactions simply don't make sense.

    It's a shame. The show has lost its appeal unfortunately and the episodes just seem to drag on and on...

    Main (remaining) characters previously loved by fans have become annoying and unlikable...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. And I've stopped. I've wanted to stop before, with all the filler episodes (sometimes more than the episodes that contribute to the story) but now, with episode 1 of season 7, I feel they have crossed a line.
    Yes, it is a show set in the zombie apocalypse. Yes, it is a 'horror'. Yes, people do horrible things in reality. None of those arguments justify the portrayal of such gratuitous violence against these characters.
    I felt ashamed watching this. It feeds a sick need for voyeurism in today's society and by bringing this graphic scene into people's homes for their 'viewing pleasure', connects us to it in a way that we should not be connected.
    We all know that there are horrors perpetrated in the world by horrible people but our humanity relies on us being kept separate from them. If you go out of your way to find and watch videos of journalists being beheaded by Islamic state, you are crossing a mental boundary that can be very difficult to return from. The realistic nature of this murder upon Glenn is no different to that. You may 'know' it is not real, but in seeking more and more realistic portrayals of murder, surely there is a point where SFX will cease to entertain you?
    I choose to keep this portrayal of violence at arm's length.
    I serve in the military and have witnessed enough true violence against others, I don't find it entertaining.
    Also, I have children and can no longer see myself recommending this show to them once they are of an appropriate age.

After a lackluster and snooze inducing season 6, I had almost given up hope for an interesting zombie show, but then HE showed up. Jeffery Dean Morgan walked on set and took over, something clicked in the writers and director's head, and they remembered what they had. After feeling like the characters in this show were gods and couldn't die from anything, it became boring and predictable, but the show writers fixed this by putting 2 of the main characters at the mercy of a Barbed Wire- Baseball Bat. It was truly shocking, while the picks were predictable, most thought it would just be the one, not two that get the bat. People complain that the show has become boring talk fests that don't really progress the plot much, but ask yourself, without exposition, what else can this show do? Not much, this isn't Game of Thrones, it can't just throw some nudity on screen to distract you, in a medieval show like that, there is a lot of story you can do because of the setting, but a disadvantage with zombie shows is that, well, there is not much you can do with story, but the walking dead has found ways around this by adding in human villains, and so far it has worked, but in other cases *cough* Gareth *cough* it hasn't really worked. That's not to say the exposition isn't boring per say, extending the conversations is a way to show the characters thinking, lets face it if you were in these situations you probably wouldn't just say a 10 word sentence to explain a situation, so it does add more realism. As for the complaints about the character of Negan, look, he may not be everyone's cup of tea, but Negan is a great villain. He's threatening, he's an **** he's enjoyably irritating. He's truly a threat to our group of gods. He's an unlikable misogynist that needs to die some say, well here is a bit of information you might not have known: That's the point. I am not a big fan of this show, but it is much better now, and I enjoy it again.… Expand

    Negan is Why We Can't Have Nice Things...

    Ah, 'tis that time of the year again. Pumpkin spice in the air and The Walking Dead brutally reminding fans, no one gets out of here alive. At the end of last season Team Rick took a path fueled mostly by hubris which ended with them on their knees before their newest arch-nemesis, Negan. As the last episode ended, we knew someone on the team    Negan is Why We Can't Have Nice Things...

    Ah, 'tis that time of the year again. Pumpkin spice in the air and The Walking Dead brutally reminding fans, no one gets out of here alive. At the end of last season Team Rick took a path fueled mostly by hubris which ended with them on their knees before their newest arch-nemesis, Negan. As the last episode ended, we knew someone on the team had danced with their last walker.

    Oh how sweet are my memories of Team Rick's escape from Terminus seasons ago. At that time, they found themselves in a similar predicament. If not for the almost Deux Ex Machina way in which Carol saved the day, our plucky group of heroes would have been Sunday barbecue. In this season premier there is no such hail Mary rescue. Negan puts his barbed-wire wrapped bat "Lucille" to savage use on the skull of one of poor bastard on Team Rick. Driven to rage, Daryl leaps upon Negan landing a solid punch to the face.

    I must admit a part of me did cheer for Team Rick at that moment but it was somewhat tempered by fear. Was this the day? The day Daryl Dixon, redneck beefcake walker-killer extraordinaire, strikes his last smoldering post-apocalyptic pose! I've read many fans this summer lamented the possible loss of their precious Daryl. Alas, Negan has darker plans for our red-necked avenger so he's merely taken hostage instead. That, I fear, might actually be worst.

    The sometimes frustrating, at other times necessary tendency for Team Rick characters to underestimate the situation they find themselves in becomes clear immediately after Negan gets payback for Daryl's lack of understanding. Swinging "Lucille" with amoral efficiency Negan pounds his bat into the upper forehead of a very beloved member of Team Rick. What follows is one of most tragic yet merciless scenes in the history of the show. The frustrating part I alluded to earlier takes place when Rick, smoldering with rage, challenges Negan.

    Rick saw two of his long time friends become unrecognizable from the neck up yet, he doesn't understand he's beaten. His responsibility, his duty, is to the survivors of his team but he's too blinded and forgetful in his rage. Negan has shown him not once but twice he's a man with a ruthlessly simple code; do as I say or else. Both due to its necessity to move the story along and to showcase Negan's vicious assertion of dominance, Rick and his captor take a little camping trip in the RV.

    They have a marvelous adventures together. Negan gave Rick an axe but when Rick tried to use it he realized he brought an axe to a gun fight. Later, Negan loses the axe and send Rick to fetch it. There were a lot of walkers outside of the RV you see and it wasn't the safest thing for Rick do. Unfortunately, Negan and Mr. Assault Rifle really wanted Rick to get the axe back. It was for sentimental reasons only but you know how psychopathic megalomaniacs are. (Yeah, I'm lookin' at you Trump! j/k We cool right? Don't sue me!) Rick reluctantly gets Negan's axe back to him. This pleases Negan. All this time he's been reminding Rick to ponder what he has lost and could yet still lose. He's hoping Rick will see things his way but Rick doesn't have the look Negan is looking for.

    Returning to Negan's army from their sojourn Rick is given a secondary yet not any less traumatic version of Abraham's choice. In the end, like a Dark God, Negan intervenes sparing the one-eyed boy. Negan now sees the look on Rick which he brutally murdered and tortured for. Rick defeated is wholly under Negan's thumb.

    Team Rick is left to lick their wounds and bury their dead. It is a moving scene of unity and humanity. Negan did not take those away from them although his terrorism intended to do so. In the most dire of times Team Rick comes together, changed but one can only hope, more humble and perhaps spiritually stronger.

    A note about the violence and brutality of the episode. I am not surprised by it and have expected AMC to allow more rated MA story lines in the future. They are competing with entertainment giants such as HBO in a multitude of outlets. They somehow have to keep their audience interested in their content while competing with premium cable programmers. Expect more of this type of action and violence with Into the Badlands and Preacher next year. There are plenty of warnings about the graphic violence of the show. To complain about it now seems a bit silly to me.    … Expand

    Seven seasons in, it's a welcome breath of fresh air for the show to tell the story in a new way. No longer are we sure our heroes are going to win, and sometimes we feel just like them.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The walking dead season 7 kicks off with and episode perfectly filled with raw emotion, and some of the best writing I've ever seen on TV. Seeing Rick broken down, and the group loosing was absolutely raw, and hard to watch, but it kept it feeling fresh showing that you can't always win in the apocalypse. This season of the first seven episodes has built up a ton of character, and has once again shown that the walking dead writing knows how to write character. The villain they bring is played perfectly with a really 3dimmentional feel to him, he's a charismatic, charming, unpredictable, jerk who will have you laughing, and horrified as he bashes two of your favorite characters' skulls in. The episodes have that perfect feeling of being torn apart as the group's leader is broken leaving them with no leader to follow anymore, so everyone is trying to deal with their grief and emotions in their own way. As you watch this season you want Negan to loose, because he's hurting our group, and the fact that he's winning hurts, but that's what keeps it interesting, that's what keeps it real, and keeps things interesting, and shows us Rick and the gang in a new light, and it's gonna make it even better when Negan does get his comeuppance. When all out war comes around, and they are fighting it's gonna feel so good for the fans to see the characters get their mojo back. Every episode in season 7 has been exemplary Building great character, and great emotion.… Expand

    The general 2 had too much panache, overacted, and lacking in menace. I could almost hear him floss. Seemingly a joker over a remorseless sociopath. However that was one of the most brutal TV scenes to ever hit prime time. But It felt tiresome, and that ending rolled on for no apparent reason, any of these heroes have killed without pity both the living and the dead, in a world of the dead. Yawns at trying to create more empathy for them when there is none left on their journey, because it is simply flight or flight, when its emotions have gone to the walking dead. I don't know why the general 2 would look weak, saying something and then not doing it, by not breaking Rick completely, from emo boy not offering another appendage, that didn't make sense, because you haven't taken that psychology away when revenge is more of that motivation from any other friends. Instead of being fully broken and reminded of that pain daily by having to look at him and constantly care for. Isn't it what those warlords, gangs, do in some of those very extreme places? They have a family member kill their own kin, often a family member or somebody close, in this case maim, that is done to break the will by becoming fully bound offering servitude, creating the concept of what care/hope is left, because as soon as you have crossed that line is there anything you wouldn't do. I agree he thinned out their herd leaving what he considered as its weaker members,. Although for him to not carry out his measure, it shows weakness, and in that pack of dogs possibly who will eventually challenge for rank, it didn't make sense. Questionably the boy's plot armor and watershed, how else will the story lead in its apparent direction. With all the build up to it, yawn, when that didn't go through, because.Daryl isn't enough.    … Expand

    I have to admit, my favourite seasons were the early ones, however I can't think of any other show that was able to keep me entertained for so long. Altough I don't enjoy the battles between humans as much as I do battles against walkers, the show has been compensating it by bringing fun characters like Negan or Simon. Overall this is an amazing show.

    No joke, the season seven premiere was quite possibly the best, most emotionally thrilling episode of any tv show I have ever seen in my life. From beginning to end, it was an emotional roller coaster.

    With the first half of the season completed it's easier to judge where season 7 falls in terms of quality.

After a blistering, brutal, and exciting premiere TWD quickly lost it's way just when things looked like they were going to be better than ever. There have been absolutely incredible moments this season. Those are the ones stripped right from the comics or have the new villain Negan front and center. It's when the show tries to tell it's own stories that things fall apart.

    It's no secret that every season following the first has had non-comic related filler arcs. These arcs have always suffered from lower quality writing and pacing. This season is no different other than the fact that it's filler thus far has been the worst yet. The filler episodes have been inconsequential, unnecessary, and just flat out boring to watch.

    Yes, this season is at it's best when it's sticking right to the material from the comics. When it does it is absolutely thrilling. Why? Because Negan is a darn good villain.

    TWD made mistakes in the past with a very subpar and confusing depiction of he Governor. They don't make the same mistakes this season. Negan is exactly the same as he is in the comics, minus the more gratuitous profanity. He's played to perfection by Jeffrey Dean Morgan who absolutely steals the show. It's actually Negan that keeps me watching. He's menacing, funny, and downright brutal enemy. One perfect with the show and breathes new life into it.

    Unfortunately he just doesn't get all of the screen-time. Instead the first half of the season has focused on the crappiest filler yet and bored me, a longtime supporter. A shame, because after that season premiere and seeing Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan, this looked like is was going to be the best season in a while. A real return to form for the series. Ultimately though it's proved to be the weakest so far in it's first half, despite an excellent villain.

    Longtime fans of the comics can get a kick out of seeing their favorite Negan moments brought to life on television, but be left groaning at all the original stuff. Those who have stuck with the show for this long can still find enjoyment, but may be left wondering how much longer they can hold on. The show's tendency to meander around is finally starting to kill it for me. There are those who have already felt the same way. Odds are many more are likely to follow.

    *Given that this is only a review of the first half of the season, I may feel inclined to update it after the season has ended should I notice any increase or decline in quality. Until then consider this my definitive review (which it likely will be).    … Expand

Better yet, they should go back to the film school they went to and ask for a refund. It's almost like they went to film school and learn how to write the same thing in 100 different ways.

And, as much as the episode was about breaking down Rick, it broke down the viewer. Dragging out the victim's identities through quickie flashbacks in Rick's mind was unnecessary and, again, played with the audience just to delay the inevitable. And the violence. I'm been a film fan for decades (and love horror films) and what was televised was some of the most extreme and unrelenting violence I've ever seen. The aftermath of one victim was so gruesome, I'm surprised AMC got away with it. It surpassed the stuff on AHS, and that's some heavy stuff. So, as much as I appreciate the producers taking their gloves off and getting nasty, I still feel like they're playing with us, as opposed to letting the story take it's twists and turns.… Expand

Sure it has its slow episodes but whats a show without building its drama around characters. I know some characters may feel dull and out of place, but the show needs to continue to make the more less important characters feel the need to be some what important and liked. I for one love the way the show started by tearing the group apart and putting them at their most vulnerable. It shows how well invested all the fans are to the show. We all felt disheveled and just simply out of place. Now that we have reached past the middle of the season there is hope. It gives the viewers a chance to feel redemption just like the characters do. This is one of those shows that drives you into the story as though you are there, a part of it all.

Both had their moments; Moments of sheer adrenaline pumping excitement were mixed in with moments of so called ''tension building'' intrigue. In other words; inconsistent.
    I hoped that season 7 might be different, and that it would offer more action and plot intrigue, but unfortunately it doesn't.
    If anything, season 7 has been watered down even more from the previous two. Not that the thrills and adrenaline rushes aren't still there; they're just fewer and farther between. The season starts off with a brilliant, terrifying and controversial episode involving new baddie Negan. Negan is the new pantomime villain of the series - a menacing, evil but also often darkly hilarious character brilliantly portrayed by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Though often a little cliched, his scenes with Rick and the Alexandrian survivors are among the best moments of the series.
    Character-wise, this is generally another strong season. Characters such as Rick, Sasha, Maggie and Carol go on interesting arcs, and many of the new faces stand out as well.
    Unfortunately, the same cannot always be said of the plot. After the initial excitement, the series burns out for some considerable time, as it tries to examine the different and often rather slow moving threads of the story. One of the highlights of the series is episode 8, the mid-season finale, when the simmering tension between Negan and the alexandrians boils over. But after this, it's back to the ''slow burning'' business as usual for a few episodes.
    By the end of the season, I was expecting some real payback and excitement in the final episode. Sadly, that too didn't quite deliver the lasting impression I was looking for, despite good few minutes of great battle scenes on the streets of Alexandria. Maggie's speech at the end of that episode summed the whole season up for me; Somewhat moving, but an unoriginal and somewhat boring attempt at reviving the passion and the emotion of earlier seasons.
    The TV series still has some life left in it, but is very much in the ''Hershel after his leg was bitten by a walker'' stage of it's existence; It'll take some major surgery to keep it alive.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some shows jump the shark. This one jumped the tiger.

    The narrative changed so much from the first six seasons that it's a completely different story at this point, just using roughly the same backdrop, and exploiting the emotional connection viewers had with the characters - in a sadistic way.
    Now, I guess if you hated the show at season 5-6, this might have been a breath of fresh air.
    However, if you liked it, the brutal change might really not be to your liking.
    Usually shows do such stuff to regain ratings, but I get that this one wants to follow the comics.
    For me, the result was a total loss of interest. Everyone was on a journey - including the viewer - but it wasn't this one, sorry.
    (SPOILER ALERT)
    The show's writers might have had their characters enslaved for the entirety of the season, but not us - the viewers. After what they pulled with the cliffhanger, and then the first episode of the season, I skipped directly to the last episode, seen the story-line change is going to be stretched for yet another season, and decided to spend my time elsewhere.    … Expand

    When they first introduced Negan and the Saviors, he was interesting. As time has gone on however, that whole aspect of the show has become nothing but repetitive. Negan does nothing but talk in his irritating way. None of the characters' motivations make any sense or last for more than an episode. Besides a good episode here and there, it's really hard to keep myself watching this at times.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. By far, the worst season so far. It made absolutely no sense. Negen was a complete ninny and the only reason he lived as long as he did was because the writing was awful. He was out in the open so many times that killing him would have been completely trivial. Negens raid of Ricks town was completely asinine. They were outgunned, out-manned and Daryl was there so there was no reason not to kill them all and they had so many chances to do it , that it bordered on absurdity. The argument that some people would die was moot because its obvious they would die regardless so there was no point not to try.

    Rick also turned into a bigger sissy than he already was, not that I was ever a fan. He was always weak and only survived due to luck which is fine and part of his story but it makes no sense that anyone follows him. They didnt need to fight him, but they certainly didnt need to follow him either.

    The best character in the show was killed in episode 1, and that was Glen. He was by far the only level head of the group and would have been a much better leader than Rick, Mishone is also still around but she has become subservient as well, for no good reason. The show is falling apart. At this point, you might as well have aliens land since they are no longer trying to write a good story. Maybe we can have a Terminator come back in time to save Rick from the Aliens. Maybe we can have a Predator too?    … Expand

    I found the ending to season 7 very anti-climatic. The whole movement of the season seemed to be establishing Neagan as a villian and then plotting the downfall of Neagan and The Saviors. I was hoping that the final episode or two would be a strategically planned out battle consisting of all or most of the communities they had come into contact with. Sure there could have been moments of drama, fallen protagonists, and a moment or two or three when it seemed that all was lost. But it would have been nice to see this story arc more or less resolved and the world of The Walking Dead to go on to new ground.

    Neagan is interesting, but not interesting enough to spend all this time on. What's more is that the stakes put into Neagan were high enough that they need resolved sooner than later. A character that kills two major protagonists should be kept long enough for the audience to writhe but not so long as for them to tire of the whole endeavor.

    I look forward to watching this show, but, wish that the season finale was a bit more satisfying.    … Expand

    "You ever hear the one about the stupid little prick, named Rick, who thought he knew **** but didn't know **** and got everyone that he gave a **** about killed. It's about you".

    Season 7 of The Walking Dead was... kinda of a mix bag. Compare to previous seasons, you know what to expect by now, as the formula is becoming more apparent. There were many episodes in this season that I thought was okay, but some I would call great. The awful episodes shouldn't go overlooked as well. Now we got a new villain and everything that the world use to be is decaying each day.

    When we left off, season 6 ended on a cliffhanger which made viewers (including me) furious. I knew what it was there for and I wasn't having it. Of course when it's revealed who bite the dust, I wasn't all that surprised. Here's the problem with leaving a cliffhanger open for months, people will speculate and the odds seem more clear.

    It also ruined what could have been a heartbreaking and a "Game of Thrones" like feeling of sickness, instead left me saying "I knew it". The tension and the build up was so perfect in the season 6 finale, but all of that is long gone since six months. Doesn't help when you killed off your character twice, which is Glenn. I mean, Glenn not being on the show anymore is sad and I've got to give Steven Yeun credit for improving over the years, for his acting skills. It wouldn't be the same without Gleen or Abraham.

    Well with all that out of the way, lets talk about the actual good things.

    Andrew Lincoln absolutely killed it this season, just like he always dose. It was so painful to watch Rick go through this soul crushing and embarrassment treatment of psychological torture. Effecting him and everyone else in the group. The scene at the start of season 7 where he breaks down in tears after Negan forces him to cut off his son arm. Truly great acting from him. Convincing the audience he's a father who would protect and cry whatever happens to his son. To be honest, he's the only reason why I'm watching this show. At the moment Rick is on a softer side, but that inn demon is still in there ready to be release.

    Jeffery Dean Morgan is another stand out this season and stole every scene he's in. The devilish smile, slow tone talking, and brutal way of getting his point across. He makes the Governor look harmless. You love to hate him, everything that makes great TV. One minute your in shock or crying after he kills a fan favorite; you then laugh at the terrible puns he spits out while caving in someones head. How lovely. Making the character both evil and filth, but also giving a sense of respect and knows when he crosses the line. Pretty much a method of control. Later on, he must get the taste of his own medicine after the things he did. At the same time, you hate to see him go. Jeffery Dean Morgan was terrific.

    It's great to see Maggie and Carol character becoming stronger since we first met them. Of what both went through and where they are now. And it's not just those two, the other character arcs that shown growth. That's what I like every season despite the problems.

    Some of the unrealistic character monitions and decisions still need improvement like I said in my last review. Why are the final to these seasons always end so lackluster. You get the filler and predicable moments. Mostly things you expect. I bet the season 8 will repeat these mistakes, but hey, I'll keep watching anyway.

It’s dragged on way too much and wasn’t as entertaining as it could of been. The low number of named casualties doesn’t help either.

    It's Season 7... You're either committed at this point or you're not. I almost wish I wasn't.. Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan is by far the best part of this season. However, the familiar tropes are getting old. I recommend binge watching as I cannot fathom how someone would watch this show week to week.

    This season of the walking dead had me wavering, it seemed like the screenplay or camera work had either become lazy or gone to the toilet in creativeness. It felt disjointed, strange and I didn't really like the season as whole. The premier was fantastic and will always be one of the saddest but one of my favorite episodes across any of TV.

It felt disjointed, strange and I didn't really like the season as whole. The premier was fantastic and will always be one of the saddest but one of my favorite episodes across any of TV. However the rest of the season could have been crushed into perhaps half a season... it was unnecessarily long for no reason and I feel that this would've worked much better as just that, a half season.… Expand

    It's not all too bad, but the majority of this season sets up the threat of the Saviors, which was already (mostly) established beforehand in season 6. Despite its several flaws, season 7 does fix two main characters' arcs and makes them more compelling.

    This season had some 8/9s and some 2/3s. I really feel if they took the best 30-40 percent of the show and condensed it, it would make for much better tv.

    No es broma, el estreno de la séptima temporada fue posiblemente el mejor y más emocionante episodio de cualquier programa de televisión que haya visto en mi vida. De principio a fin, fue una montaña rusa emocional.

    The Show begins to dip from here to the end of s8. But 7A was probably a 9/10 because of 7x1 being the best episode of all-time and 7x4, 7x7 and 7x8 were really good! The second half was 7/10 but it had a few grea episodes! 7x16 is underrated!

    It was miserable, and tedious, and made me feel bad. Not in an emotionally compelling way, just in a “I could be watching something of value” way.

    All in all, not a great episode, but a savage and a useful one.

    By season 7, most series begin to lose steam or lose their identity, but The Walking Dead somehow feels as fresh, thrilling, dramatic, and exciting as it did in its early days, if not more so. The showrunners are pushing the envelope the right way, and they can get away with showing us the most disgusting, disturbing things imaginable because after seven years, frankly, they’ve earned it.
