The Walking Dead Season 8
Discussion
Having been an avid Walking Dead fan since the beginning I think I might give this series a miss. I tried so hard to stick with it over the last couple of series but I end up getting cross with myself for keeping wasting my time. Anyway, I don't want to turn this into a bashing thread so I hope they end up back on track whether I watch or not.

I've just bought the boxset 1-6 as I've never seen it. Is it worth it? I liked Jim Mickle's Stakeland movie etc
When it's good, it's great, but often settles into the doldrums.It's still very good TV, but not the brilliant TV it was.
Frankly, I think it's a become a money monster for the makers, compared to it's audience figures it's not terribly well funded, the actors don't get paid a fraction of what other shows make, the sets are modest and reused a lot and the special effects are getting a bit Sci-Fi channel at times.
I'd personally be happy if series 8 was the last, as long as they tie the story up, but I suspect it will run and run on a declining budget until the last 100k viewers are finally sick of it.
Still, don't let that put you off - series 1 is amazing.
The Walking Dead eventually just did my nut in, it was like a carousel of the same storyline over and over again, the last series with Negan being just a bit silly and frustrating
Been watching Fear The Walking Dead instead and the recent series of that, series 3 has been great, the spin-off has overtaken the original.
