So, this is supposed to be the final season, and this is how it ends? Are you kidding me? Instead of providing answers, it seems to generate even more questions. Honestly, this show has been on a downward spiral since Glenn's death, and it faltered once without Rick, in my opinion. The original main characters have disappeared one by one, and the new characters lack significant storylines that could seamlessly integrate into the show. After investing so much time, I can't even remember who some of these people are and why they're even here.

The eleventh season is truly remarkable. Each episode adopts a storytelling approach reminiscent of movies. Finally, we've reached the grand finale. You can even view the conversation between Maggie and Negan as a form of closure. However, after watching the last episode, it doesn't quite feel like the end. Perhaps they didn't intend to conclude the entire series, as it introduces the concept of an expanding universe of the undead in the closing scenes. Maybe the actors from "The Walking Dead" have simply grown too weary; so they find a way to pass on the story to new arrivals.

2. I would rank this series as my top 5 of all time despite the last few series being a tad disappointing. Maybe COVID affected the script writing but it did tail off. Enough of that and on to the good stuff. The early seasons are just phenomenal. It's less about the walkers and more about the characters and relationships they build and the challenges they face in trying to forge a life amidst the horror around them. And in fact, other people rather than the walkers prove more of a problem to them. There's so much to keep you on tenterhooks. Stories are told brilliantly, there's genuine terror and fear. A constant menace. The first 6 series are incredible. There are moments that you'll never forget. Moments that will shake you to your core. Moments that are just 'what the…’ It's genuinely moving at times too and that's where the early seasons are best. It's not a gore fest like the later ones. It's just great TV. This would have been a clear 10 but for the drawn out ending.

I've been a fan of The Walking Dead ever since the first episode of the first season, and I haven't missed an episode. While the last few seasons weren't quite as good, they were still worth watching. It did go out on a high note though, the last season was actually pretty good. It had a few slow filler episodes but overall, it was solid. Even though it has ended, I’ll still miss it. When something's been a part of your life for so long it's hard to say goodbye.

This is my favorite zombies’ show. I love it because, more than just that, the real villains are always human beings, showing that even living an apocalypse people are still selfish.

There’s enough drama for everyone on this show, both related to zombies and to people. It’s interesting seeing them while they learn how to deal with the monsters, but the main villains always end up being other survivors, and it shows how human beings can became terrible people when they want something.

One of the most successful series of our times, "The Walking Dead" uses zombies to explore the human psychology in moments of extreme desperation.

ohhhhhh
