Kind of spooky... TWD was a guilty pleasure for about the first 4-5 seasons.
Yeah, it was cheesy and required a certain level of "suspension of disbelief" but was entertaining.
It rapidly declined into total insulting trash...and anything I liked about it vanished. I've never watched it again...and I'm feeling that way about the NFL after the 2021 season...just dont care. Once that threshold is breached...at least with me....it's over.
I'm not watching the game tomorrow...dont care. I think I'm finally done with it...I think it's the act of being insulted...it's one thing to be entertained...it another to be mocked.
FWIW...TWD always freaked me out as some predictive programming Psyop...this was years before C19. I was curious why it lasted so long... I always found the name cynical...but at the time, I associated it with zombies addicted to their cell phones. I know it was based on a comic...but there was a darker connotation once the network ran with it.

I made it into the Negan episodes a bit... and some people said he was such a badass, but some of those scenes were the slowest developing, longest drawn out bullshit ever. It was like they were completely out of ideas and just had Negan walking around with some eenie-meenie-miney-mo bullshit with narratives that seemed to take 4 commercial breaks to get through.
I didn't need the show to be constant zombie chases and what not, and some of it was simply Negan being a colossal dickbag, but the story line went to shit and it felt like I was watching 1 episode for about every 3 or 4.
