First episode of season 7 was breathtaking with a lot of things happening, sitting on the edge of my seat the whole episode, and from there it dropped tremendously! 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. 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 carnageAfter 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. 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

Not believable....you created characters that are what we WANT to be, not who we don't like anymore. For those that think their behavior is understandable...ok...but for the whole season? Months on end? We all know they have to respond/attack....what's taking so long? Each episode is SO aggravating...SO difficult to watch. 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. Stop turning our heros into pu**ies!!!!!… Expand

Negan is a mild mouthed, pleasant guy nothing (besides when the plot needs him to be evil) like the comics; a huge let down. 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 think they should just call this tv show "Walking" because that's the only thing they do. If there was an golden globe for longest drawn out storyline, the walking dead would get it every year.

    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.

    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.

Then, you add on how many mistakes each one of them, really mean, each and every one of the main characters making mistakes that are completely out of character for them. Then, somewhere in the middle, Rick wakes up and decides he he was wrong. I will be that if there was another half season of this, whoever are the writers should just be banned from Hollywood. 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.

    BY FAR, the worse of the season. I hope the producers goes back to the original writers. If not, way to go for killing a great series.    … Expand

    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

    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.
