Your reviews are my favorite part of hate-watching this show - please don’t give up and keep suffering along with the rest of us. My recent fave highlights of the show: the dude standing next to the zombie horde in the dam doorway holding a pitchfork and panicking about their lack of firearms - poke them through the fence holes, dummy. And the ‘impregnable’ dam fortification… which can be easily bypassed by going up river a few hundred yards and attacking Morgan’s camp from the rear. LOL
Whenever I think of Dave Erickson watching Fear TWD now (not that he does most likely) I just think of that Marlon Brando line from The Godfather, "look how they massacred my boy"
TWD super fan here. Watched every single episode of TWD and s1-3 of FTWD as well as FTWD s4 first half but I quit when they killed Madison (what show kills off a main character in that way?) Erik I’ve been reading your reviews for years. It’s all on point. Can someone explain to me why the people at TWD and FTWD continue to hype their shows and we’re now having movies and a spin-off. (?) Why did the quality of these shows go so downhill? I don’t understand! There was no reason for TWD or FTWD to go downhill, both had tons of material to use including comics and that awesome cliffhanger from s3! This is some bull!
100% agree with this mate. Compare the conflict we had in Season 3 with Otto/NA tribe and then the Proctors to this absolute shite. Can't wait till this show wraps up so I can move on with my life lol.
Don't mind the people saying shit about your review, man, honestly. I've been reading your reviews of FTWD ever since Nick died, I guess, and I couldn't agree more with you. It's awfully written, it has lame characters with lame goals, the story doesn't make any sense at all anymore, and I mean, how are we supposed to believe that this group of people would be able to live THIS LONG in an apocalypse? For real, why didn't Alicia finished the guy who was trying to embalm her after stabbing him in the eye? That would never happen if she actually had any amount of grey matter.
Also, why on the bloody earth she needed to stay behind? Couldn't she just light the damn embalmed zombies from the freacking door and run away with the other guys. It literally doesn't make any sense what happens in this show, it infuriating. I honestly just watch it to this day so I can come and read your reviews and laugh about how imbecile it has become. Keep up the good work, man.
Honestly, I enjoyed reading you when this was a complete and utter shit show and borefest, back in seasons 4 and 5. Season 6 has its weaknesses, but it’s much, much better. There is finally some character development and dialogues. Some forgotten characters finally get valuable screen time. And most of all, it’s finally entertaining again. I'll go as far as saying it’s the most entertaining season so far. Not the most well written, but at least there's an effort to make it a good show again.
And I'll say this. I appreciate your honesty usually, but this is a shit review. You can't blame a show for lacking nuances and complexity, when your own review does the same. We get it, you hate it. The plane and the air balloon were stupid, but do you need to bring it back in every review? Sinxe you're paid to review this show, at least make an effort and try to give it a fair evaluation. Not just some mocking rant.
If they manage to screw up the remainder of the season when they have JOHN FRICKIN' GLOVER in their cast then there's honestly no hope for this show anymore. Let's see.
I agree with your points about the villains because let's be honest, when was the last time a villain on this show did anything actually villainous like killing a major character? Nick was killed by Charlie and a few episodes later all is forgiven, Madison stupidly sacrificed herself even though she could have just ran to the car and drove away because cars are faster than walkers, and John was killed by Dakota and the show seems to have already pinned it on Virginia and is now pretending that Dakota did nothing wrong 🙄 Say what you like about Negan and Alpha but at least they did legitimate evil things

It has a lot of issues, but you also don't pay any attention.
Please don’t stop reviewing this terrible show it’s what makes me laugh before I go to bed!
