Well they managed to destroy and drag on the original series then when FTWD started just like TWD the first years were well written and the acting and characters were compelling.
Fast forward to where we are today and it seems the writers are just plain lazy or must think the fans are stupid. Episode 1 and the characters are cardboard versions of their past self. What were they thinking? Keeping a story interesting for a few years is tough enough but at 8 years you are really pushing the limits of what people will tolerate or expect.
Maybe most shows should take a hint from Gilligan and the decision he made to end Breaking Bad at 5 years. And that was such an incredibly well written and acted show full of interesting characters we might have easily gone for a few more. But he left us wanting more. Sort of tantric TV show.
FTWD has long climaxed over and over and we are all spent and so are the writers and even the actors seem uninterested in their characters or stories.
The Darrel Dixon series are doing very well and so I hope they will not push those past the point of these have gone.
Kill the show before it rots like an undead.
