[–] 5ymm3trY@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 months ago (1 child) 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? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] STUNT_GRANNY@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago* (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 5ymm3trY@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 3 months ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
