The Walking Dead

I started to watch the zombie apocalypse series last year and at the beginning I thought that it was very good. The story was great and all of the characters were intriguing. However as the show has been going on, the story seemed to get old. Every episode was just them fighting the zombies, or walkers, and trying to survive in a post apocalyptic world. The one thing that I hated most about The Walking Dead was that they always killed off my favorite characters and left the characters that I disliked alive. For instance, two of my favorite characters were Dale and T-Dog but both of them were killed off. Meanwhile the characters that I absolutely did not like, such as Carl, stayed alive. I liked Rick's character for about the first season and a half but after that he became sort of a dictator for the group and constantly messed things up. I was annoyed even listening to his character. The only character that I have consistently liked is Daryl Dixon. Daryl is a redneck equipped with a crossbow and is key member of the group. At first he kept mostly to himself but over time, he has integrated himself to become more of a team player. He acts as a protector for many members of the group and is now Rick's right hand man.

I thought that the first season of The Walking Dead was fantastic but the second season took a downfall. The show is now in its third season and it is going uphill. Rather than having the main story be Rick and the gang fight zombies, they are fighting The Governor, a ruthless leader of a town called Woodbury. I think what the show really needed was a single antagonist and with The Governor, they achieved that. The Walking Dead was missing the human element that makes the characters more relatable to the audience and once The Governor and the people of Woodbury were introduced, the show gained that missing factor.

If I were to give the producers of The Walking Dead some advice, I would stick to focusing the show on conflicts between humans and not so much with the zombies. The main focus should have to deal with humans but remember to make the fear of the zombies always present.
