I thought this comment about Walking Dead by u/Stenthal had the ring of truth:
It’s interesting that everyone agrees that it became crap, but nobody agrees on when it happened. Some people are probably just more tolerant of its flaws.
Was there a particular breaking point for you?
Also, I feel like Shameless took a weirdly similar trajectory. It milked the cow into absurdity with a merry-go-round of suffering until it got old seeing characters fighting the same battles and getting nowhere. They were just poor instead of attacked by zombies. Was there a breakpoint there for you?
My personal breakpoints were fake-outs on Frank’s death, and a scene-ending line of dialogue from Negan: “I hope you got yer shittin’ pants on. Because you’re about to be shittin’ your pants.”
