I'm one of those people who won't hold a grudge and keep reviewing low as **** out of spite. The first five episodes? Absolute terrible trash. The two female leads were written, acted, and directed horribly.
But guess what? Since episode 6 they've been FINE. Which goes to show - it was terrible directing and writing. The show runners must have heard the complaints loud and clear and fired all the people screwing this show up.
I just don't understand why AMC would even consider employing new writers, or subpar writers, or taking a chance with their "gold mine" shows. They need to pay the people who make these shows work A LOT OF MONEY to stick around. This is their money maker. I'm not sure why the network ever takes chances on these huge shows that have massive followings.
And TWD fans have long memories. They are lucky they have fans like me who gave the show a second chance. Because the episodes DO GET BETTER. But it's like whiplash!
