TV TWD is dogshit change my mind

[Chester Copperpot]

Megan started watching again because she wants to “catch up” and watch the later seasons. I’ve never watched it at all as, as I’ve quickly learned, Arma 2 provided far more entertainment while TWD was being aired live.

Just watched the finale of the first season and before the end, as they’re running away the camera shows automatic weaponry, ammo and supplies, humvees that run on virtually any diesel, and various other military stuff.

What do they do? Drive off with their shitty gas vehicles and granpapi’s 30-30 bolt action and pump shotguns despite 2 episodes prior fuckboi complained that Rick took half their men to go look for weapons.

Absolute fucking trash series. It sucked from season one and they made how many of these dumbfuck seasons and stupid fucking spin-offs?

Show was pretty decent until it wasn't.

The comics are way way way way way way better.

Don’t care. Mook wants RESULTS. Not another black hole thread.

It was good for the first few seasons, then it was pretty damn bad.

 

[Mr Baytchos]

Trash show. Could never get into it. From the sounds of how it went I'm glad I didn't.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Again, I was losing it right before tiger man showed up.

When he showed up that was it for me.

Went downhill once they got to the prison for me.

Saaame here. I'm sure if I watched it again today even the first couple of seasons would have aged terribly

I enjoyed it up to when Neegan showed up. My biggest gripe with the whole show was just the waiting around for 20 episodes while nothing happened and they shoved 500 commercials in each episode. Each season had one plot development, that could have been worked through in 2 or 3 episodes, but they dragged it out. Made the episodes unnecessarily cumbersome.

I liked the overall plot, I liked most of the characters. They just were bad at telling thr story. Would have been better on HBO.

I forgot how ridiculous this was, the sheer volume of commercials on this show and lack of action made it impossible to watch.

I timed the last episode to see why it seems like there's so many commercials​

Spoiler: It's because there's actually a lot more commercials than the average.
This has been bothering me for a while, but I wasn't just if it's just that I'm used to watching Netflix and HBO, or if there's really a ton of commercials. So, I got out a stop watch and marked the start and end of the show segments and commercial breaks. Times aren't 100% precise, but good enough to make the point.
So the average amount of commercial time for a cable channel is 16:08 per hour. So basically 16 minutes of commercials and 44 minutes of show. The last episode of TWD, including the previously on bit, intro, next week preview and credits comes out to just about 44 minutes of show time. So far, so good. But, it also has a whopping 21 minutes of commercials, 25% more than normal. The episodes just run about 1:05 instead of a normal hour, with all the extra time going to advertisements.
To make matters worse, TWD features breaks with tons of very short commercials. I find these kinds of ads take me out of the show much more than a few long ads, and they make the breaks feel longer. In total, the last episode had 51 different commercials (including AMC's own ads). The longest break went for 4:49 with 14 commercials, and both McDonald's and Verizon showing up twice.

I just waited to watch the last few seasons when it hit Netflix, I cant deal with the commercials anymore ,I'd rather buy the seasons on Amazon prime than sit through the commercials, I can handle them ,they're painful

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Last season was good. The prison was for sure the turning point to shit. I stuck around after investing in the first couple seasons.

 

[Blood on Blood]

First season or two is good, then the show became a dumpster fire soap opera full of commercials.

I see Yellowstone heading down this path.

 

[willizm]

If AMC put money into the writing and reduced the episodes per season to 12 45min shows it would have been way better but the slog for me was how the seasons went on forever with very little actually happening. The shows became so repetitive after terminus.

 

[radioguy6]

early seasons were great, then it got boring and predictable. Far too many better shows to invest your time.

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

wife and I tried to rewatch it and stopped part way into season 2. I think it was only good back then because it was groundbreaking and different.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

After sleeping on it, I’m even angrier. What a fucking waste of electricity this show was.

Shitty controls and mediocre graphics with poor computer performance Arma 2 gave me, literally, 2000+ hours of entertainment playing ONLY DayZ mod.

This show is stupid.

 

[GoldPanther]

Stopped watching it after the trash people I think it was season 6. turned really bad. will not watch!

 

[Intel]

I read the graphic novels up to like the prison or the farm I forget which. I stopped watching after the first season finale as it was such trash and didn't follow the source material.

 

[Pro Stock John]

I've thought about picking it back up, I forgot where I left off, around the episode where the kid loses his eye.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Let's restart the hate.

Fucking Maggie. What a fucking retard.

 

[S8ER01Z]

First of all.. Arma is awesome so how dare you . Second TWD turned to pure dry shit at some point and I just can’t anymore. I “finished” but I think I skipped hours of content because it was just dry dialog and stories that added next to nothing other than just filling up time. It could have been amazing if they had kept the spirit of the first few episodes but I’m not even sure they made it an entire season before they started trying to drag things out. Shame

 

[radioguy6]

when they added the Talking Dead aftershow I had a feeling they were going to milk the franchise dry to the point of hating it.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

First of all.. Arma is awesome so how dare you .

Hey man, I said I had over 2000 hours in Arma 2 OA (before it was a standalone installer and only a mod) and the Arma 2 DayZ combined. Have almost 3000 hours in Arma 3 Exile, and a few hundred hours in the pile of shit DayZ standalone. I aint hating.

Zombies are my shit.
