Oh, I go back to the beginning every now and again, usually for fitting background noise when I’m on a Project Zomboid kick.
I forget exactly when I’d stopped watching the first time, probably when the show made Negan’s introduction into a cliffhanger. Or whenever Carl was killed off, but I forget exactly when.
Tried to push through to the Whisperers arc once though, but I made the mistake of getting invested in a new character after the time skip, someone I thought had a lot of interesting potential… and they were killed off to make the villains’ introduction more “serious”. I thought it was a huge waste. I don’t have interest in finishing the show anymore, nor any of the spinoffs aside from Rick’s miniseries.
Ok. I never saw any of the spinoffs because horror isn’t really my genre if I am honest but I remember the first couple of seasons were quite good and interesting.
Just wanted to go back and check how they aged, because I never saw them again. Definitely not going to watch the whole show, because after a while it is just more of the same thing and as you said the storylines just get more and more ridiculous.
I wish I’d stopped watching The Walking Dead partway through season 5, whenever Rick and friends arrive at Alexandria, but before they go inside.
Sure, there’s plenty of good episodes/moments afterward, but without spoiling anything, that’s also when a lot of the show’s bullshit really ramps up.
The Walking Dead was also the first thing that came to my mind. I think I eventually stopped in season 7-8 or something and never went back.
Recently I was thinking about rewatching the first season. Have you watched it again?
