This tries to analyze it, but I have a simple answer

Maybe the writing just fucking sucks and the only originality it had was in the first two seasons, the second barely qualifying?

TWD S5 and S6 were the best seasons they've had so far.

Haven't seen S7 yet, but that sucks to hear.

Live ratings are down but DVR ratings are still the same.

As for this season's quality, the story is the best since Terminus but the way they've structured it fucking sucks which probably contributed.

Not gonna happen even despite the ratings drop. It's still got much higher ratings than any of AMC's other shows.

The structure is pretty shit. All the groups (Saviours, Alexandria, Kingdom, Hilltop, lolTara) have been getting one episode each so it means we had to wait three weeks to find out what happened to Maggie after the Neganing, instead of splitting all the episodes up so everyone gets a couple scenes (Like the latest ep).

And Tara getting an entire episode for herself is stupid.

S7 has turned TWD into negankino though.

Did someone add the woosh or was it already there to begin with?

Someone added it in.

Shame. The potential's there, they just don't know how to do pacing. We don't need whole episodes dedicated to minor characters being held hostage in a stronk womyn fish utopia.

I was so excited, I trudged through the Alexandria shit because kneegun was coming, and this is my reward.

TWD has failed me.

Negan is the best thing that ever happened to this show.

He is our guy.

The parallel episode format isn't great, but the new characters are. I was hoping they would use the lack of weapons, food, and safety as a springboard to relive S1/S2 excitement, but they've solely focused on Negan (and JDM is fantastic, but is basically carrying the entire show).

Just rename it The Negan Show since he's the only reason to watch it
