    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

    The promising premiere of season 7 turned into a slow boring grind with artificial drama the writers make last forever for no good reason.

    It feels they are trying to somehow project some tension and horror of a dominated cast. But what they really do is fail horribly and accelerate the end of what was a pretty good show at one time. The villain is a joke.

    Please, dont listen to the other reviewers that are giving this season hate because "its too violent", surprise-surprise, its the walking dead. You should expect nothing but brutality and great story telling. As a true die hard fan of the comics it is awesome to see some of my favorite characters like Ezekial, Jesus, Shiva, Negan, and Dwight come to life on my tv screen.

The acting has been excellent so far except for one episode that was total trash, Episode 6. But I highly reccomend finding out for yourself. Hope you enjoy it :)… Expand

    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.
