The start of the second season where they were at the prison and had brought in a bunch of new people who were just doing a bunch of dumb shit to almost get each other killed all the time. After a couple episodes I missed a week and realized I didn't care enough to go back to it because it would just be more of the same. Too much of the conflict was just due to the characters being dumbasses and not communicating. I can see that being an issue at the start but after surviving as long as they had that shit should be figured out.

3rd episode of the first season. I thought to myself this is nothing more than a soap opera... Never watched it again

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Same. I never understood the appeal.

I watched 8 Seasons because I'm a bad person and I deserve this

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Lol. A lot of the other comments about repeating storylines or naff episdoes are fair, but we stuck it out to the end too. Overall I enjoyed the show.

I also enjoyed the comic series.

When I started rooting for the zombies to just end the crew's suffering and by extension mine.

The whole Sophia arc could have been 2-3 episodes not seasons. Nothing against her character or the actress, but they were already really dragging stuff out back then.

But really, I fucking gave up on it because Carl is supposed to kill the non-zombiefied version of Shawn.

Gave up watching a couple eps before the S3 finale. I just couldn't do it anymore. Even by S3 the show seemed like it was repeating the same beats over and over again. The survivors made decisions that anybody in a similar situation would never make ("realism" be damned if it ruins the immersion), and it just became tedious viewing (how many times are we going to travel between Woodbury and the Jail?). What was awkward were my friends that remained invested and kept inviting me over to viewing parties on season premieres or half season finales, and I just have to pretend I'm having a good time watching a show that I care exactly zero about lol good vibes though because everyone else is super stoked so you win some you lose some.

Whatever season it was with the old man and the farm and barn. When Grampa kept threatening to kick them out. The ex cop should've stomped that old man to death.

2 I believe. I stopped there too after coral took a round from a hunter.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Never started it. I was thinking I was going to start it when it had an ending. Now I see no reason to ever bother starting it. Good thing I'm patient. I did the same thing with GoT. Dodged two bullets.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Despite the bad ending, GoT is a great series.

The first season of Walking Dead was pretty great as well.

I hung in a really long time actually. Lasted until they did the informal handoff to new stars, around the time Jesus had that weird fight to the death in the foggy graveyard. That was it for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think that's at the exact point I stopped as well. Honestly, a lot longer than I probably should have gone.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Pretty much when I realized each season was them just taking over another town killing the leader because one of their own got captured. Plus Carl was super annoying lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Attempted to watch through season 4 a few times, then finally got through it. Watched 2-3 episodes of season 5 and quickly realized that the show wasn't building up to anything and did a lot of rinse and repeat. So I quit watching it then.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thought season 1 was bad and inconsistent and then quit either in the middle of season 2 or the end of it.

It was clear the writing was in conflict with production from the get go.

When they had the weird "school" lessons for the kids in the prison and were teaching them how to kill zombies effectively while having lectures outside sitting on the grass. It was like the worst parts of being a hippie and the worst parts of being a violent fuckwad all thrown together. I get that they were trying to show what life might be like for the next generation but teaching violence in that pseudo innocent context felt so incredibly wrong

When the old man died (a little after that)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I watched season one. Having read the comic, I thought the show was very poorly made.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

At what point did I give up on The Walking Dead?

About the time I couldn't keep up which streaming service had it this week. I mean, it was on Netflix here at first, but after that, it was anyone's guess.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Where they were in a junkyard and they had to fight some spike covered zombie.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Like half way thru season 3

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I never started watching it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

When the zombie was pulled out of the well. Just not worth it for me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think there was an evil hospital, or something. Maybe a muder car.

That one guy has the cute though. I am sure he isn't lying...

how many series of walking dead they have done actually ? I never watched it or understood why all these seasons/series, and how many people do follow it. I watched supernatural until season 5, because after that it didn't worth.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I gave up after Season 7. To be fair I did have a social obligation watching with friends and pizza every week, and we spent Season 7 making fun of it before someone said "I think the show might be bad now" and we stopped.

Yeah it was around season 3 that there basically stopped being zombies, or what zombies there were ended up being completely inconsequential and everyone just had so much plot armor.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think I finished the season that Rick "left" the show. Didn't stick around long after that, I don't really remember tbh.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

When they were "escorting" the walkers out of the quarry and everything went to shit for the dumbest reasons, as is tradition. I don't even remember what happened after that because I think I stopped mid episode.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't have TV, so will catch shows later than everyone else of I hear good things. By the time I'd was ready to seek it out, the consensus was to not bother so I didn't.

Avoided Game of Thrones the same way (may still watch it except for the final season some day). Only watched Dexter for a few seasons and quit while I knew I was ahead. Etc.

I do the same with video games.

There's way too much media out there, so why not hold back a bit and wait for the dust to settle?
