@critialcloudkicker It's EXTREMELY formulaic. That would be fine if it were its own formula, but the cut-and-paste 'running from zombies forever while all your fellow survivors get picked off but then you meet more survivors, ad infinitum' dreck has nothing to add to the genre. The show relies SOLELY on the hype around zombies, and uses them as a crutch in lieu of any real plot or character development--both of which are heavily lacking in TWD--but the fans are appeased by the occasional zombie ambush. Overall, I suppose the show isn't an active detriment to television, it's just... unoriginal, uneventful and kind of pointless. It's kind of a zombie in and of itself: slow, bland and devoid of cognition.
