    What the hell did they do with this series that was intended to become one of the best of all time?
    Now it is simply mediocre in all its aspects.

    Watched the first 4 episodes of season 9 and couldn't watch anymore. I then decided to watch again after the mid season break as the whispers sounded interesting. Unfortunately they didn't live up to the hype. Very predictable, lazy storytelling.There were a couple of episodes worth watching as stand alones but overall very disappointing.

    There are no characters you care about, even Eugene is now a complete bore, and some characters that I believe must be the most irritating on TV i.e. King Ezekiel and Carol

    They really are flogging a dead horse with this show.    … Expand

    Was really excited for season 9 but episode 1 was really disappointing had high hopes for this hopefully episode 2 is better or will be a big let down.

    Not even a score below zero can explain how bad this "show" or whatever it is or want to be. It has to be written by an 7 year old child or something. It has been so bad for the last 6 seasons and just gets ten time worst for every new season.

    The actors and characters are a pile of garbage and for the script there are no words really to describe how bad it is, so let just leave it at    Not even a score below zero can explain how bad this "show" or whatever it is or want to be.

    I just want to find one thing good about this just one but nothing is there. And its been like this since like season 4 until now.

    No characters, no story, no good acting what so ever except Rick, no originality, nothing new it just the same old garbage over and over again.    … Expand

    As there probably can be expected after 8 seasons, there is not much more to do in the show. The same old formulas are repeated again, nothing new or interesting ever actually happens. This show needs a game of thrones moment where half of the main cast is killed and replaced (but this probably wont happen). Half of the time this show makes you cringe, the logic flaws and writing generallyAs there probably can be expected after 8 seasons, there is not much more to do in the show.

This show needs a game of thrones moment where half of the main cast is killed and replaced (but this probably wont happen). Half of the time this show makes you cringe, the logic flaws and writing generally is stupid and just following the same predictable formulas (almost kill some main character even though we know it wont happen, then kill some minor characters noone cares about). This season looks like they try to make one of the main characters the villain (which is in principle a good idea) but here it just makes you dislike everyone of the characters. You can not really identify with any of them and do not care what happens to them. just finish the show already and do something different.… Expand

    I love this show, but I HATE HATE HATE the writers who's been ruined the story and killing too much characters so cheaply and badly. Now it's only the reason I watch this because of Daryl, Michonne, Carol and Negan

    The first three episodes of Season 9 are as strong as anything the show’s done since the heyday of Season 4. ... Even better, these new episodes make an effort to give most of the sprawling cast something to do.

    The reset is as promising as it is necessary. [1-14 Oct 2018, p.11]

    The world of The Walking Dead is still a scary and dangerous place. Characters will still die and characters will still show their horrific true colors, but characters will also laugh, and love and, gosh darnit, they’ll live this season. ... With Rick at relative peace as his final episodes approach--though Lincoln may be directing some episodes!--it’s intriguing to watch another member of his group go dark.
