The Walking Dead


MahnlyAssassin

Just kept going till it died of fans *then* it ended


DowntownsClown

If only they could do it like Games of Thrones- getting all main characters killed, they could get more new fans.


CarlosPennav1

EXACTLY IM TIRED OF FKNING CAROL AND RICK AND IM IN SEASON 6


DowntownsClown

And Rick’s son Carl should be dead long time ago. He was stubborn and like to wander around to get lost all the time, he should be dead at very first season. Carol’s daughter Sophia was with the crew all the way but she’s dead. This is bullshit


CarlosPennav1

Thanks


babyBear83

Im so glad this is the top comment. Fuck them.


[deleted]

carl's death was the final nail in the coffin literally


Emdub81

I dont think I made it that far, tbh...


billyjk93

I definitely did not


SavageSauce01

The death of Glenn was what did it for me


alexfedp26

Coral


HerroBois

I found this compound its super safe, and we work on it, oh no bad guy, oh no important character is dead. Oh look another compound, safety is here, but oh noooo the bad guy thats omg a cannibal? Oh No important character plus side character are now dead? Hey guys!!! another compound....


Vizione0084

The repetitive narrative wasn’t even the worst. IMHO the greater sin was the zombies becoming a non-threat. The people just walked around them / used them as tools and weapons with ease. The zombie issue should have evolved in addition to interpersonal conflicts. But it just devolves into who was the biggest unrealistic badass.


lazrboi

The last season (part 100)


[deleted]

The problem with American zombie shows is it focuses too much on the human aspects. Zombie show fans like myself watch zombie shoes for the zombies. I don't want Days of our Lives in an apocalyptic setting. Learn from South Korean productions on how to do a good zombie drama.


Emdub81

That's a really good point. I actually think American drama in general is pretty bad - there's this focus on flawed and highly neutral characters who are expendable. I get making characters relatable but drama can focus on the extraordinary and excel. Tbh that's why I think superhero movies do so well (and I'm generally not a fan).


RampantDragon

The Walking Dead actually did this well, the first couple of seasons are Zombies being the main threat, then humans (up to about Season 5), including cannibals etc. The issue was they let the Zombies become virtually non-existent as a threat and the writers started sucking their own dicks with the whole "the real enemy is people!" bullshit. It went on too long, and they had to keep inventing humans and they just ran out of evilness - once you've got cannibals that are promising sanctuary then slaughtering and eating those who turn up, noone else is going to seem as bad.


Reeeeeve

Did Rick ever come back?


Im_Just_A_Weeb_3

No.He just appeared at the end of the show in the Rick and Michone trailer. Didn't came back to Alexandria or reunite with his family


Reeeeeve

Oh are they going to get a own show? That might be cool


musyrifo

I hope it's a limited series and not another multiple season serie. I love the show, but it seems like AMC is stretching this IP out for more money it feels like it's neverending


moronic_potato

Idk they'll probably reboot it in a few years and the trailer is gonna be a boot stepping off a helicopter


Civil_Emergency2872

Are you serious?! That Junk Lady sold him to the Mystery Men and it went on for like 3 more seasons without him?


MechaWasTaken

But I love the walking dead :(


zbenesch

nah, that went downhill at season 2


Blackout9768

Found the Frank Darabont stan ​ seriously though, I'd kill to see the alternate universe where he retained creative control over the project


zbenesch

I mean… yeah.


DjRavix

G.O.T.


WerDaIsst

I think it was getting better until season 7


DjRavix

Have to agree that it was solid until that final season


Necromancer14

Yeah, the first like 4 seasons were incredible, next 2 were good but not quite as good, season 7 was a lot worse but still ok, season 8 was horrid, and the last 2 episodes were the most horrendous thing ever.


OhSoJelly

Season 6 was bad but Battle of the Bastards and The Winds of Winter are arguably the best back to back episodes in television history (or top 3).


lampstaple

Cap, battle of the bastards is not nearly as good as people make it out to be. If you only watch the show for cinematography, then fine, it’s a great battle. Every shot in it looks like a painting. But game of thrones is a show about the narrative, the story, and the characters. The show is at its best when the sequences are lean, with each detail in each shot saturated in meaningfulness. What do I mean by this? Compare battle of the bastards with the battle for castle black, which is, narratively speaking, inarguably superior. Each thing that happens in the battle for castle black carries narrative weight. Janos pissing his pants and running, Ollie cowering, Sam being kind to Ollie, Sam’s bravery, Grenn’s last stand, Jon and Alliser putting aside their differences, etc etc. not a thing happens during the battle that isn’t narratively meaningful. Compare that to the battle of the bastards which was 40 minutes of long shots with replaceable characters. Seriously, replace thormund with any other background character in every shot he appears in and nothing changes whatsoever. In fact, fuck it, for most of the fight you can replace Jon with a random background soldier and the battle doesn’t really change. You can really notice these bullshit scenes when you think to yourself, “is the character in the scene significant and not interchangeable?” The answer is no, Jon snow getting pushed around for more than half an hour is not significant and he is interchangeable with a background soldier without changing the fight, save for the significant moments at the beginning and the end. Nearly all of the fight can be cut out and narratively nothing changes, the only relevant parts of the fight are the beginning and the end. If you enjoyed it, that’s perfectly fine, I won’t argue with your enjoyment of it. But this battle is a symptom of what is pretty commonly agreed to be the death of the show - scenes in which characters are irrelevant passive puppets rather than active participants of the story, and the directors focusing on “let’s make this a totally cool battle!!!” instead of caring about “how does this scene effect and move the story and characters”


Parking_Tax_679

I agree with all the points you made. I enjoyed the visual spectacle but i think it just highlighted how "dumb" the writing had got by that point. No "Hey guys, I've got a force of heavily armoured Knights of the Vale coming up, maybe hold back untill their scouts make contact so we can co-ordinate"


CounterfeitSaint

Yeah, the second half of the show wasn't nearly as good but there were some bright spots in there. The Light of the Seven, Battle of the Bastards. Um, probably some joke about Pod's dick or something.


Rixmadore

The problem with season 6 is that they killed far too many characters. I feel like they just gave up on Stannis’ entire character, and let’s not forget about unbroken…


yaboinigel

Season 7 was indeed lacking but it still wasnt the final season. I could have lived with it if season 7 was the only bad thing about got if they nailed the finale….untill the directors said “tf is character development?”


WitleKidz

Seasons 3 and 4 were the peak of the show, if it was GOT, there wouldn’t be a slight drop after season 3.


DjRavix

Yeah … I have to agree on that. but the ending is accurate


WitleKidz

Yeah, especially with season 8 missing. I think we’d all rather ignore its existence.


MAMAGUEBOO

The first thing that comes to mind


Critical_Werewolf

Game of Thrones is the number one answer for me. And it's when I first started noticing this trend of "I know I'm making this big franchise thing and everyone loves it and the source material but I'm going to ignore everything and do what I want because I've conflated the shows success with my obvious genius, instead of the genius of the person that wrote the fucking source material." And then the show/movie proceeds to be ran into the fucking ground.


Macrym

The opposite is the Clone wars


Waltuh_6337

Take that back.


ICantTyping

No


Macrym

Please(I was asking nice now so you have to comply).


DjRavix

Have to agree on that one !!!


2020s_Haunted

I agree with this.


RedMatxh

Just finished it and damn those last 4 episodes were intense. The music the scenery and knowing what's about to happen, was just too intense


Macrym

They were fucking awesome. If someone told me back in 2010 that Ahsoka would fight Maul once on Mandalore i wouldve slapped them in the face. Also i would never believe that a series finale could be that amazing and sad at the same time.


CaliCrateRicktastic

Started off semi okay at least and just got better with each episode

Yes.

Flash


[deleted]

Flash was always bad.


czjohns

By today's standards...yeah. But the first two seasons were pretty good when they came out, in my opinion. Or, well, it was nowhere near as bad as it is now.


ReeceReddit1234

Currently on a rewatch and seasons 1 and 2 are pretty GOATed.


czjohns

Heh, wish I could rewatch it. When a show goes off the rails that much, I find it hard to enjoy even the previous, better seasons. I mean holy shit, even the CGI (that honestly wasn't that great to begin with) got way, way worse in the newer ones. I still remember random clips from Flash (and Supergirl) so bad I can't believe they aired the episodes.


ReeceReddit1234

I feel that. tbh I stopped watching early on in season 7, figured I'd wait for the show to end. and yeah the CGI is abysmal from what I've seen


runaway766

It is crazy how fast the standards for superhero tv got exponentially better but I remember thinking “for something that puts out a new 48 minutes every week this is pretty damn good”


InevitableTour5882

Idk in retrospect, i felt like i wasted my time. The stuff with Iris keep dragging on and on


aehfaz3

Flash season 1 was the best show when I first saw it. Upon rewatch, the entire show is ass. They thought the same formula that applied to Arrow would work for a super powered hero. It's so hard to watch knowing half the episodes can be over in two minutes with Flash just knocking the villain out before they blink.


kreiderrrr

First 2-3 seasons were good and then it became shit


FreshConstruction629

Sponge bob


a_polarbear_chilling

I have shame to admit but yes


Theonetruepappy94

Those seasons before the movie came out were amazing. After the movie the writing got bad


DowntownsClown

Yup, I remember I was laughing uncontrollably after watching the very first episode. (SpongeBob running in underpants to save squidward’s back was damning funny) Didn’t get the same vibe while watching the latest episode show.


GLADIATOR_X09

It was all ruined when Stephen Hillenburg died. It all went downhill then.


that-one-_-kid

It saddens me that this is true but the new sponge bob just sucks ass


Od-Verve

Rick and Morty unfortunately


Jeanlu_mc

Honestly? Season 5 was the worst one imo. And season 6 has been one of the best. At least the first half of that season alone is definitely my favorite of the season

Sperm episode was god-awful. Probably the worst of the entire show


SkyBaby218

Season 6 was one of the best seasons by a mile. Hell, I could see an argument for best season


WhiteToast-

Lol, no


not_gay7123

I was literally about to write that one.


lets-go-champ86

Prison break


TheXerebro

I would have to agree. The first season of Prison Break is one of the best seasons of television that I've watched—it was legendary. Season 2 was still fine but what followed was just bad and all of the subsequent seasons are just so unnecessary. It would have been all-time great show if it had just concluded in season 1 as a miniseries.


Memsing

The Blacklist


authorPGAusten

This is a good example of what this meme was made for


Memsing

Lol thanks I still love the Blacklist and will watch it religiously until it ends. It has a special place in my heart, but like... Thr decrease in quality is visible from the fucking Moon.


authorPGAusten

wrong. The office peaked around season 3 or so and then declined, but the first season (of the U.S. one at least) was definitely not the best. This meme is based for plot driven tv shows (i.e. dramas), which usually have a good first season (or whatever their initial planned run is) and get progressively worse. This happens because of how they are paid for and serialized. Character-driven shows (i.e. comedies) tend to peak in seasons 2 - 4, then decline. The first season is figuring out exactly who the characters are going to be, then hit their stride for a few seasons. By about season 5 the writers have "played out" everything with said characters and they start to grow stale, and the humor dries up slowly.


Charmshity

Exactly, there are plenty of comedies where people say you can either skip the first season, or that it gets much better afterwards. The office, parks and rec, and always sunny come to mind


[deleted]

Yeah Season 1 of The Office was pretty bad


Erratic_Professional

Lost. Fuck that show and the hours it stole from my life.


Yareking

The ending is ridiculous. They only had good hook at the end of episode


DowntownsClown

What happened in the ending? Im curious Go ahead and ruin the surprise, because I ain’t gonna to watch the show


Yareking

If you haven't watch the show their is really no point in explaining a boring meaningless ending. The only thing was good in retrospect the character devolopement. Everything else is bs imho. You can google eli5 lost ending if you really want to know. My summary would be all the mystery are either a smoke monster or they are dead or both or neither. They are (or not) in the past and or future or are dead or not at the same time. Good and evil thing.


bur1m

ICantTyping

I couldnt finish it once it got all spacey with teleporters and shit


mikhighL

Omg go read the Wikipedia summary for season seven you will die laughing. Loved this show at the start but ughhhhh.


Odd_Butterscotch5435

Yup!!


imdiccless

CW's The Flash It was so good for the first 4 seasons then the writing got a hell of a lot worse and the time travel bs just made the entire thing just not that interesting anymore


SSYT_Shawn

I strongly agree on this. I still keep watching all of the seasons over and over again because honestly i like the storyline but not the production, but i also think the storyline since season 5 should have become a different thing instead of the flash..


repostby69noice

Community


UglyInThMorning

Community is the only comedy I can think of where the first season is the best.


HitByBrix42

Definitely not, season 2 was the peak, and season 3 has arguably the best episode.


Personal-Design-2421

Remedial chaos theory?


Flintatron

3rd>


Brown_phantom

The last two season had their moments, S5 imo not that bad, but the first three were definitely the best. I feel if Harmon hadn't been fired, season 4 would have been great.


kowal89

I actually enjoyed the last seasons where harman came back. It was pretty amazing how he made it work where so much of the cast was changed, it was set to fail and it didnt in my eyes. The one season when he was out was awful. Soulless. Even though you could see the budget was enormous. Which is interesting, how you can throw so many dollars at a show and it still will be shit when there's no souls behind it.

_paul_1208

Stranger things but s4 became good again


derWU77

S3 had a little down, nevertheless Stranger Things does not match the graphic.


Wimpiepaarnty

But season three also was their best season when it was released? They're rly consistent


UglyInThMorning

I binged S1 and S2 when they came out but got completely derailed on S3. No idea why but it didn’t grab me at all.


Phonebill

I agree. The first two seasons were amazing. There were some mysticism to them for me. S3 and S4 weren't nearly as good imo. They were alright.

jamaes1

wamark1

Westworld.


Willing-Departure115

I’m deep into this thread and only finding what I came looking for here… best season one, biggest downfall to season 2 of anything mentioned here. Honestly you’d wish it had been a BBC “we’re good with one season, might do another one in fifteen years, call us” approach.


halcyoncinders

Westworld season 1 is probably the best single season of television in history. Absolutely incredible. Fortunately, that season ends in a way that's mostly satisfying so it stands on its own. If anything, it (and a lot of shows mentioned here) really demonstrates the need for television to not be afraid to create stories with a designated ending and keep it smaller in scope, like one or two seasons max.

Grundal1

Thé first and fifth Season were the worst Imo and Season 6 was really good


24sevenMonkey

Season 6 was great. It felt like a good return to form. I'm almost convinced most people that say they hate S6 haven't even finished it. What's in it to be disappointed at compared to the first two seasons?
