They had intense storylines, strong characters, compelling villains, and a story with heart.
There are some storylines that shouldnt have been changed.
There are some arcs that shouldnt have been messed with just tomake the show its own.

Too many beloved characters were killed off.
I usually love when writers kill off important characters.
But there are certain characters onThe Walking Deadwho deserved a better story arc.

The pace was too slow.
When it comes toThe Walking Dead, the first episode of each season is always amazing.
So is the last episode and the episodes bookending a midseason finale.
But all of the episodes in between drag.
Theyre too boring and repetitive.
It takes ages for anything interesting to happen.
They valued shocking lies over authenticity.
At some point, it became predictable a character wasnt dead unless their end was explicitly shown on screen.
Even then, sometimes they wouldnt actually be gone (ahem the dumpster scene).
