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

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years 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.

i think i watched more at some point, but i checked out when one guy chose a more direct route to somewhere through a tunnel instead of going around. and omg!!! there were a bunch of zombies in all those wrecked cars? who could have seen that coming!

i liked most of the first season of fear the walking dead, and it quickly turned terrible as well. wish that series had stayed on the initial outbreak and collapse a little longer.

When Dale died?

Season 2 was such a melodramatic let down.

After that first season I read most the comic books and loved them but the TV show just became so much worse, I couldn't stomach it.

I later found out the actor that played Dale wanted out because he was a close friend of Season 1 showrunner Frank Darabont who had been run off by AMC executives. Kinda tied it all together.

The graphic novels are great, though. Seriously, go read them.

I never started watching it.

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.

[–] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some of season one was great! Then season two took a story that was only one and two half issues in the comic and dragged it out into a whole boring season.

The worst thing about the show is that they took things from the comic and thought "what if we do this but change it to make it less awesome."

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah "some" is what got me to try season 2 in the first place. But looking it up I realized I actually finished season 2 and quit at season 3. Its been 12 years, after all.

But I had never read the comics so even without context and coming to the series 'fresh' I felt the series was off. I had lost interest in just about every character and potential story arc after 2 seasons. Except maybe Daryl and Merle who weren't going to sustain the series.

[–] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Never cared to watch it in the first place.

I actually just started watching it a few months ago as my background show while I was working.

I thought it was pretty good and just fine at times, but the last episode of season 6/beginning of season 7 I had to stop.

This is the first show I've watched with any sort of gore since my son was born and I realised I can't take the the dark psychological stuff I used to. Watching the scene where negan is telling rick to cut off his sons arm was my breaking point before going back to curious george.

[–] K0W4LSK1@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My only son just turned two, I feel this. I used to watch that kind of stuff all the time and now I watch an episode of bluey and break into tears. Anything with children in harms wayI just can't anymore. it seems like every show does now that I'm a parent

[–] lightnegative@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I don't even have kids and Bluey makes me break into tears for being so wholesome

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years 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?

[–] MDKAOD@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The hard part is the social aspect of media. It's not always about what's good, it's about the conversation surrounding the things. I get weird looks when I talk about Plex. Also xkcd comic cutting edge

[–] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Game of Thrones is worth watching till the end, just maybe have a beer and your phone in hand for the last 2 seasons.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

When Michonne punched Rick for calling out that community of people that were doing shady shit. (Season 6, I believe?) I couldn't handle any more.

[–] CoolBeance@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I think I stopped when they just found Alexandria. Honestly the intro theme is what kept me coming back when it was getting really slow, like The Governor's arc.

[–] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Episode two. I just couldn't believe the characters. Their reactions to everything felt so far-fetched. I think the racist guy was really what did it for me.

I don't remember exactly when, but I remember them wandering around in a forest for like three episodes looking for some children I think? Just a streak of episodes where absolutely nothing happened. No plot development, no character development, just treading water.
