I really like it but it does go through a crap phase in the middle, then picks up again. Actually my son started watching TWD recently and gave up on it but started Fear The Walking Dead instead, he way prefers that. It's really good too

This season has been really really good, did you give up or have you watched it (S9)?

I agree, season 9 has been one of the best seasons.

Daniel it's worth it but there are a few dud seasons along the way.

It's amazing! Especially the first few seasons. Then it goes a bit meh but it's still good. Seasons 7 and 8 I didn't enjoy very much. But the most recent season 9 has been my favourite season. Yes its worth watching

Yeah I loved fear of the walking dead season 1 they aired or on e4 but no sign of any more series planned to be shown. Odd

It has it's moments, but watch out for seasons 6-8 as they're torture with all of the OTT Negan stuff/build-up in 6.

The show was also better before it became community based imo as it has taken away most of the Horror undertones of the programme and there wasn't a lot of it to begin with.

The Governor and Alpha are strong characters though, although you have to wait for season 9 for Alpha.

I’m tempted to watch because of the two big deaths that have happened over the last season and a half but Mischonne is leaving next season too and I’m not really a Daryl fan so I don’t think I’d enjoy it as much if he was the leave

You should atleast watch the last episode of S8 and then all S9, I almost gave up as well over the never ending Negan saga

The first few seasons were great to watch for the first time so yes for those, just expect to probably give up at some point.

Give it a go but season 6-8 are pretty rubbish tbh

1-4 are great, 5 is okay and 9 is amazing.

Seasons 1-5 and Season 9 are AMAZING TV

the first half of 6 is quite enjoyable and a few episodes from 7 I loved <33

Season 8 was tragique

I stopped watching it during series 6 or 7 I think because it became too boring and complicated - FTWD is better but I stopped watching that too

Yeah. 7 and 8 are the only subpar seasons but they're worth powering through for how good season 9 is.
