Spoiler:

While I like both Maggie and Negan, their dynamic is simultaneously weird and irritating... I have no issue with Maggie never getting over what Negan did to Glenn, and no issue with Negan being remorseful about it, but do we need to see them hash it out FOREVER? It felt like TWD left it where it can only end up ... that she accepted he had changed and no longer wanted him dead, but could never forget or forgive and so couldn't live anywhere near him. The spin off felt like, all those years later, somehow they were slipping back to BEFORE the TWD ending .

Rick and Michonne... both could carry episodes alone back in TWD but something's off in the spin off. With Rick especially - it feels like he "forgot" the character, and he definitely forgot the accent wtf. He was straight up annoying for 80% of the spin off series, improved in the last few eps but that was it. And the sex scene is still one of the worst things that's ever been televised .

I agree about Daryl but it isn't only that that makes his spin off better

Spoiler:

setting it in France as well stopped it for being too samey, the attitudes of the people, the monestry, the architecture and scenery. It all helped to freshen things up.

Re: Negan and Maggie, yes **** me, talk about beating a dead horse. There is no way they'd constant have to spend time with eachother, it's stupid and annoying and surely no one wants then to be friends? No matter how nice he is now, he cracked her husbands head open with a baseball bat

Lmao yes Rick's accent was weird and he definitely forgot how to play Rick also, the storyline was a bit stupid and cringe at times but a mile better than Negan/Maggie
