I just started up on this show. I'm almost to the end of season 2. I'm not really sure what most people's problems with it are. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I like seeing some other characters' reaction to the ZA. After last season of TWD I'm about tired of Rick's group. I'm enjoying these new characters. It's also nice to see that not all humans left are villains. With Rick's group, it seems like everytime they come upon a new community, the only question is--in what way will this community turn into bad guys? At least so far this show isn't a "here's an idea, but it will be a year from now before you see it."
But then again, I am doing a binge watch. I think both of these shows are better as that. Last season of TWD was the first one I ever watched in "real time" and I'm about tired of it.
I think some people want these shows to be a video game; just nothing but killing zombies. I have zero interest in that--both zombie lore and video games. That's why I waited so long to even give TWD a chance. But I'm glad I finally "turned". I enjoy them both because they are not that way.
