The walking dead use to be such a culture phenomenon back in its earlier days. But I feel like nowadays that many people often only talk about the later seasons and how bad they were. So I wanted to go through all the shows seasons and see the highs and lows the show has had throughout its run. I also talk a little about the current state of the franchise and how I wish the show and the entire series had just ended with season 11. I feel like the spinoffs have been unnecessary and just created to get more money.

I feel like if they merged season 7 and 8 into one, the series could have kept its momentum. Especially if they didn't kill Carl, Chandler Riggs taking the lead after Rick left would've been much more interesting imo.
Firing Chandler was the Single Worst Mistake of TWD ever!
AMC was cheap and greedy and Scott Gimple became a terrible show runner.
I agree. Angela Kang came a couple of years too late.
@@warrenreid6109 Facts and she was too safe. Didn’t kill off anyone, not even the numerous pointless characters.
Completely agree, I even think the writing on TOWL is rushed and borderline like watching Fear
AMC kept being cheap and kept getting greedy because of the "fan boys". Now because of these fan boys it enabled AMC to keep cranking out garbage, milking the show, adding crap in and the fan boys keep sucking it.
@@brianachim2670True. She only killed off Rosita in the final episode, because the actress asked to be killed off
I don't think creating new arcs is a problem as long as it's well written, the prison illness arc and the terminus are original to the series and worked very well.
Terminus is an evolution of the fear the hunters arc
The ones who live, not without its flaws, was some of the best of TWD we’ve gotten in a long time.
the ending was so bad though, it ruined the whole season for me
The Ones Who Live felt fresh. But also the killing off of characters before developing them was so poor.
The writing particularly the scene with Throne and Michonne was embarrassingly bad. Like watching Fear
it was fun, although after years of build up, defeating the CRM within 15 minutes felt disappointing
@@LexUniverse"And Poochie went back to his home planet" vibes
The flu arc was great tho, specially Hershel's episode
"You step outside, you risk your life. You take a drink of water, you risk your life. And nowadays you breathe, and you risk your life. Every moment now you don't have a choice. The only thing you can choose is what you're risking it for. "
Hershell dropping bars!
I think it was pretty much Gimple's way of nerfing the group so that way The Governor could stand a chance. Obviously with half of left of the group recovering from an illness it makes a lot more sense that he was able to destroy the prison so that way the character would be on the road. Throw in some character development for the major cast member who was about to be killed off and you have yourself an arch
@@98izzark69 They just needed to take Daryl 🤣. He took out half of militia himself.
the most awkward part about this is the fact that there are still so many bootlickers that defend a show that doesn’t deserve to be defended
i get we should only use critical criticism but the way they made it easy to be so disconnected with the show i don’t even think the weaker critiques are bad cause they simply don’t take it seriously
this was really well made… how does bro only have 15 subs

TWD's biggest problem was the standard 16 episodes, some seasons like 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
I agree as well! Created a lot more filler content in between the premiere and finale.
Season length was never a problem the walking dead lost viewers after the dead wasn't a threat an dragging on the saviors whispers ark
If they had 10 episodes per season like GOT the show would have been so much better
Take a shot everytime he says “season”
I still watch the early seasons, mainly 1-7. Thanks for the content on TWD. Love seeing it buddy.
I have to correct you on something: This show didn't rival Breaking Bad (in terms of viewers) seasons 3-6, it had A LOT more viewers. TWD was the most watched show ever at the time. Breaking Bad was popular and a critical favorite, but didn't even come close in viewership until it's final season
And the flu arc in Season 4 was great. It was tense and smartly written.. it also mattered in terms of the overall narrative because it made them weaker and less prepared for the Governors attack
Im surprised he didn’t mention Negan’s character once. He was the highlight of the later seasons.
Excellent commentary, it’s as if you were in my head… I dropped the show at the end of season 7.. Your so on point , I realized they didn’t have an ending in sight, just the same story , put on wash rinse & repeat .
Walking dead’s never been about a cure lol
Frank Daramont was present through season three I think. He directed the great film The Mist, which had Carol,Dale and Andrea who he brought onto The Walking Dead.
You was fired midway through production on Season 2
It was very Early in Season 2! Not at all, in Season 3!
This video was a pretty thorough analysis of the entirety of The Walking Dead, but your conclusion was convoluted and could have used a little rework. Good work overall!
Honestly I think I just want a show that continues exploring this world that I can just watch while I eat dinner after work. I don’t need amazing new storylines because in an actual apocalypse you’re going to see the same problems pop up and that’s fine with me. I want it to keep going but god I hate these 6 episode spinoffs - give me a real season.
12k views and just over 100 subscribers doesn't seem fair. This is a really solid video, and it's not easy to make (close to) hour-long videos that don't drag or lose my attention at any point. I just wanted to say: great work.
The acting, camerawork, writing, special effects, all of it. It has all degraded into marvel quality crud.
Vatos is one of my favorite episodes to see the gang members taking care of the elderly was truly heartwarming. It really broke stereotypes at the time.
Great work on this man! Looking forward to seeing what's next!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching!
i don’t think seasons 7 and 8 are really even that bad. compared to the others? they are definitely lacking. but it truly truly fell off in seasons 9 and after. even the spin-offs weren’t that good! except for the ones who live, which i think was saved by having andrew and danai as producers. those two truly understand their characters.
It did not feel like the show had to rely on gimmicky tricks to keep fans interested.
It HAD to use gimmicky tricks to keep fans interested. Because the people who took over after squeezing out Darabount are hacks. Especially the soulless clods that goes for excetuvies at the amc.
They milked the WD fanbase for all it was worth. Thats all that happen. The fact that WD hung on for so long is an testament to the cast and the loyalty of the fanbase.
Can you fix the sound suddenly going up drastically when the music plays during the subtitles? Great analysis. Good long videos seem to be hard to come across lately. My favorite kind.
Great video. Keep going, you are good at this.
Season 4 is where I stopped watching. The empty side stories drove me nuts and when they killed the Governor, I was like “cool. It’s over” 😂
To many comic fans tv series fake fans
Not enough folks liked the fact that it was carls comic daryls show, when carls death finally showed up after a long wait everyone thought this show was based on one person that being carl, but it wasnt! The show is still great and hasnt ended its expanded actually! Gonna be fun when they make movies outa it
Frank Darabont and Glen Mazarra would have abandoned the comics. Scott Gimple saved TWD and was responsible for its PRIME, seasons 4-8. He messed up towards the end, but he did save TWD. Seasons 2 and 3 VAGUELY followed the comics.
Everyone I know that has watched the walking dead still do. All of us still like the show.
Bro’s first video happened to be an absolute banger, bright future keep ts up
Thank you to everyone who watched and enjoyed the video! I am looking forward to uploading more videos soon for you guys. Im thinking of doing my next one on "From."
Really good video, haven't finished it but I really like it and looking forward to your other content, just a few tips. It seems like sometimes you stutter and repeat things a few times (which I do) I would recommend trying to do, is repeat the part again and delete the previous tries so it feels more clean, there's also a bit of dead space in-between a few sentences, maybe try to delete those, and the audio quality for the part of Season 5 (the beginning of that segment) was really glitchy and kinda hard to hear. overall, 20 minutes in and I really like it, minus those few things, you make a lot of good points and you articulate your opinion well and have good editing, plus I like the segments with each season title and the music used in the trailers, really cool. can't wait to see what you do next!
Bro how you gonna bring up the dialogue of season 2 without mentioning nebraska
Season 2 is my favorite season. I love the space and wide open fields and the characters are more spread out as they do their own story arcs.
also feel the same here, literally grow up watching twd since the beginning when season 1 was ending, i had 7 years old and its just a part of my life i guess, love the show so much but at the same time it hurts what they made of the show sometimes
I still love the series as a whole.
11 seasons and only a couple of less interesting ones is still pretty good.
end of season 3 was when walking dead had peak viewership. I remember how much hype was for season 4 and i hey started it with the prison arc it was so lame, and everyone hated it
great vid, hope to see this channel grow 🙏
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I enjoyed season 2. It was definitely better than the last couple of seasons of the series. They added way too many characters in the last seasons. I could'nt even keep up with all of them. It was a big deal when someone died in the early seasons, but in the later seasons, it was like whatever. I watched the entire series, but it started to become a chore in the later seasons.
New subscriber man, great first video! Very well edited, scripted, and executed
I still like it, S7 and S8 sucks, the Daryl show and The Ones Who Live is even better, its still a franchise whose still alive, imo.
Ur right both are surprisingly awesome. But still not as good as S1 and S2
“Growing up” in reference to this show is crazy lol
They killed off Carl. Rick left. That's the end of the show IMO. Bad directing and story design after Season 6. Too many unlikeable, uninteresting, irrelevant characters after Season 6. Also another thing, in S6 and before, the core group stuck together. In later seasons, they become dispersed, horrible storylines (Maggie just disappearing, no reason), and so it felt disjointed and like a different series altogether.
Awesome video, man!! Subscribed!
I also think season 1 & 2 was so good that it made other next few seasons good reason for season 1 & 2 being good is cozz of diff script writer or director unfortunately he got fired and rest is history...
Great video keep up the consistency the views and subscribers will come jus keep grinding
Great video, very clear and got to the point.
I stopped and the picked it back and watched every episode and the spin offs. Loved every bit of it
Seasons 1-2 is peak walking dead for me. Seasons 3-5 are really great too. Season 6 and onwards is where the shows starts to fall really flat in my opinion.
Season 7 Glenn died no other reason 😂😂😂😂😂
I enjoyed all of it then I watched it bing3 style but three times and got something out of it each time. The ones who live is great. Parts of the Daryl spin off are super 8 like the underground moulin rouge.
While there have been many later episodes I did like (I loved 'The Ones Who Live'), the show should have ended with the line... _It's a good thing we're here!'_ And then let the NEXT GENERATION take it further a few years later...
Actually thought the point of the reapers was to show how far the group had come since they are essentially wannabe saviors. Complete with Pope killing a soldier in a very similar way to how Negan killed a certain follower.
I thought it was a deliberate choice since Daryl seemed completely unimpressed with them through his capture. Like, hes seen way worse by this point and these guys suck
I think what should have broken rick instead of Negan killing glen and Abraham. Should have been forcing rick to go threw with cutting carols hand off. There for instead of carol forcing his way into negans sanctuary. Carol would have to force his way to get back home instead of Daryl being a captive
I dont agree with A LOT of things that you said...especially the fact that it will get cancelled. It already has 3 on going spin-offs (ok, maybe 2). It had and still has a lot of problems but I think its doing pretty well. From what I've heard they are not planning on ending the series too soon. Even tho it has its ups and downs I am ready for everything they got planned. Nontheless....great video buddy, keep it up!!!
I lost interest and stopped watching at the end of season 8. Took a few years off, and restarted watching it. Felt the fatigue as we entered season 6,7,8… 9 was a bit of a drag, but I was full on back to fandom in seasons 10 and 11. I really liked the creative cinematic choices explored. Sometimes it felt like a horror movie… 🍿 I liked it. And I cried in the last episodes 2 emotional deaths. But I hear ya. Good points made. Enjoyed your arguments.
Best show ever,sad
I love the walking dead. I watched and enjoyed every season and wished for more. I'm a 60 yr old fan of horror /thriller genre. My son stopped watching after terminus. No matter what i said he refused to watch. He said the walking dead were the least of the threat. I guess he was right. But it was an incredible show. I love all of the characters, love the writing, love Fear the Walking Dead, would love to watch everthing walking dead hopefully youtube will supply all spin offs. I subscribe to so many platforms already amc.
w vid, watched all of it and i was very invested. keep going im dropping a sub👍
Is this a reupload? I'm positive I've watched this exact video before, word for word...
Nope, it's a new video and channel. Maybe some of the points I made were similar to other walking dead videos?
I am your 81st subscriber. Remember me when your famous 😂
No for real though great video.
I subscribed, keep up the great videos, I feel like S7 & S8 gets to much hate tho
Season 2 is so underrated
I didnt know what happened after carl died until recently when i watchdd the whole show through. Carls death is still the worst thing to happen to the show. Time jump would have been cooler with carl taking charge and being more responsible as a more leader type character and rick be more similar to hershal. Still so mad about this. They cant un do it.
Walking didint almost rival game of thrones and breaking bad it did my man it was the big 3 of tv
i am your 58th sub after this! great video!
In my opinion, season two is the best character, wise and writing wise. It’s also my favorite season.
3 seasons would’ve been fine. I never even watched any of the spin offs. Season 1 could be its own self contained story. They made it to the facility and were left with more mysteries and if the series ended there I would’ve been fine. It would’ve been like a really long movie. But after mid season 3 it was starting to lag or become a little repetitive.
Good video, but there's an audio issue at 9:23 that needs to be fixed. Not sure if it's too late to delete and re upload, but if you think it's a good idea, I'd do it.
adding an edit to this comment, but I'm noticing that every one of your fade out transitions has audio issues. I'm up to help you with getting video editing software or editing techniques or any help you may need because I think you make good stuff, Just let me know if you need anything.
Shutup
@@yulookingthisclose good point
Did anyone see the walkers climbing on the tanks, in season one and later they couldn’t lol
Has a OH fan of the show I feel like AMC did a fantastic job the character were great and the action was fantastic one my favorite character were darrell because I feel like I can connect to him the most like the in beginning of the series he was not the leader of the group but at the very end of the series, Darrell was a strong leader that’s why I like him the most but I like Rick very much too dose any one know what happened to the walking dead movie why did that happen because I was hyped for the but at the end of the day AMC did a fantastic job we always had great zombie movies but they never make a zombie TV show and I am so excited that AMC did the show
Personally, I feel like anyone getting into the show now should see the Season 5 finale as the series finale as I think it pretty much tells the audience that our group has found their forever home and any threat they will encounter moving forward they will overcome.
I definitely recommend watching the new spin off shows. Daryl Dixon is better than anyone expected it to be and is going strong the ones who live is a mixed bag and the ending is highly questionable and bad in some ways but 99% of the show is absolutely done amazingly and is some of the best Rick Grimes moments in the series as a whole. Dead city is good but only if you are a big fan of Negan. Maggie is great too but I stopped caring for her around season 8.
I somehow completely agree and disagree with you at the same time i agree walking dead probably should end but I don't want it to and I'm always down for more of this universe
The format having episodes be focused on a couple characters rather than the whole group ruined it, Season 5 was so loved because it followed the whole group, they felt like a family
Cgi deer took me out
Season 4 will always be my favorite.
Negan killed the show.
Negan killing Glenn and Abraham’s killed the show.
Negan droning on and on for 2 seasons swinging his bat killed the show.
Negan lost 30% of the viewing audience and it was just down hill from there.
Then the show panicked and just started playing Russian Roulette with the remaining cast members. There was no recovery from this.
Then once Negan was finally caged they started the same 💩 with the Whisperers. Rinse and repeat “Big Baddies” and “all out wars” killed the show.
So many people complained about TOWL for not recreating this same nightmare with Beale and the CRM… after it has been shown CONCLUSIVELY that no one wants to see another Big Baddie’s demise and all out war. People need to pick a lane.
I disagree with your assessment of season 6, leading up to “No way Out” was phenomenal . Rick learning that they all had to work together to survive also the canonization of Richonne.
I think sometimes it is lazy analysis to always blame Gimple because there was nothing special about Darabont . Newbies usually skip over 1-3 and start watching from season 4 and not much is missed. Gimple took his orders from AMC. The reason TOWL was so successful and has a real chance for Emmy nominations for the first time is because Danai categorically refused to take any of AMC’s “suggestions” on board… Gimple even called her “An Unmovable Force” she refused to repeat the same 💩… thank god.
I thought the reason Carl's character was killed off was because the kid who played him wanted to go to college??
Thats what amc says
Another version of the story I’ve heard, is that once Chandler Riggs turned 18 TWD wasn’t willing to rise his paycheck so they decided to cut the character, whatever the reason it truly was a low blow because Chandler Riggs had just purchased a house so he could attend college and film the show simultaneously.
Season 2 was the best tv ever.
5:59 bro think he walter white
I did not even know it happened until years later, but I stopped watching after they fired the original director.
And I stopped completely when tjey introduced that idiotic two week episodes scheme.
This has to be stolen from the creator. It was posted 4 days ago but was clearly made months before the ones who live came out. This was well made but very singular in its view point and wrong on a lot of its assumptions and statements. This wasn't made with much fact, it's from the viewpoint of someone who has a social circle where this may be true but he's assuming that the majority of people feel like him when they do not. The walking dead is far from dead. TOWL and Daryl Dixon are amazing shows. TWU has many people still watching.
This video was made by me. I did the recording and script a few months back, about a month before the ones who lived came out. I'm glad you enjoyed the other spinoffs. I don't think they were all bad, but I do think they are missing some of that charm walking dead use to have in its earlier days.
Rename the title. The growth, decay and rise of twd
I will say you can at least still rewatch TWD, its just meh after a while.
Game of Thrones is unwatchable.
What about Mad Men, The Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, so on which they do felt watchable.
Real
Everything woke, turns to shit.
I feel like Andrew Lincolns acting got worse over the years. Even his new spinoff I stopped watching cause his acting was terrible.
Wow!! I couldn't disagree more!! Andy is the Best! The Very Best! The Ones Who Live makes the Viewership Ratings Turnaround ! Finally!!
You didn't care about Rosita dying dude? Because she's Spanish?
Rosita should've came back as a fast variant walker and started jumping allover the walls and stuff it would've been great
Nooo, I like Rosita as a character. But I think they should've killed her off when she fell down the wall instead of dying just 20 minutes later. It felt like a gimmicky fakeout
@@tsctonicYou can thank the Rosita's actor for that. She wanted her character to die in the finale, in a peaceful way I suppose
Shows trash
7 isn’t that bad everyone’s just sheep, and the spin-offs are keeping twd alive still
Yum, he’s Cookin
Personally just got into twd like 3 months ago n ion get the season 7 n 8 hate. 7 was a filler/build up season but it wasn’t terrible
Season 7 is genuinely trash bro what are you talking about 😭🙏
@@shhh5743 ofc binge watching it it’s pretty fire lowkey. Def not the best but just imagine watching it week to week as it first came out years ago. Imagine waiting months to see what’s gonna happen. Having to suffer through a fucking solo Tara episode w a bunch of lesbos. Ugly ones at that. And then the season ends with it building up the fight for NEXT season. Like breh… Imagine. That’s what I and many other true twd fans suffered through and most left and never came back. Nobody blames em
You’re right! Season 7 is way worse!
