My ranking
Season 2 : Definetly the season that has more weight in the big picture of wd. Biggest character development in the show, amazing moments cof Nebraska cof Farm cof Lonely walker cof. An amazing season premiere, probably the best in the series alongside the Pilot and 7x1, and the last time we saw an actual social comentary with a zombie background. Definetly the most close we got to see George Romero directing TWD and my favourite season
Season 1 : I know. Season 1 in spot 2? Yeah. Ive been watching twd since it first aired. 11 years. Trough the years s1 went lowkey as a "bad" season for me, because i never cared to actually watch it again. Recently, with 22 years, i went back and binge watched it. The pilot of twd is definetly the best pilot ever done. The horror aspects, the walker scaring the sh1t out of me (and every character lol), the weight and conflict and the social aspects of a society that reached complete downfall and the people trying to keep their humanity. Characters having actual personalities and not being just random dialogue and flat faces like the ones Norman Reedus makes for a living
Season 4 : The most balanced season of them all and in my opinion the last 10/10 for TWD. Each episode felt like a movie and the prison arc overall was amazing. And i have a HOT HOT take here, and please respect my opinion, 4X6, Live Bait, might be my favourite TWD episode of all time. The governor remains today as my fav character, the most well writen, coherent villain, and probably the most likely outcome for every regular dude in the context of an apocalypse, and he really shined in s4. David Morrisey gave it all, and what more could i say? Hershel... Jeez, what a performance. Season 4B was ALSO a 10/10, with all the plots subtly coming togheter towards the end
Season 9A : Maybe 9a holds a place in here because of the love i had for Andy Lincoln and seing him at that stage for the character was the most close thing we will ever have to the last period of Rick in the comics. Set up the stage for many many things cof whisperers cof and it did a really good work regaining the hearts of the fans that felt conned after s7 and s8. But i think that with time this season will come more and more close to the later spots, because as ive said, its mainly because of what they did with Rick and Andys performance
Season 5 : The season that respected the comics the most. The road arc was a 10/10 and i actually think that should have been the entire of 5B, being the arrival at Alexandria the last moments of the season finale. Surviving at its finnest, and a lot of character development. And the trailer for the comic con literally broke the internet of how good it was. But im a fan of dialogue and subtle development, and this season really went for an action route. Its in a way what All out war should have been
Season 3 : An overrated season in my opinion, but it had David Morrisey kicking it out of the park, and it was the last season that, in my opinion, played with border scenes like merle and the gov, daryls discovery, andreas runaway and the prison uprising. The reason i think is overrated its because it did A lot of things the wrong way, and if you disagree with me, you can look up in google what Laurie Holden has to say lol
Season 11 : Honestly, it should have been a movie or a 8 episodes season. The whole 3 part storyline felt not only dragged but also unnecesary. Reapers were an excuse, and shifting to digital after 10 years of filming with that "Indie" quality felt really weird. Also, at this point, i dont care for literally any character. Every spinoff confirmed gave away who will live and who may die and, as ive said, unlike s1-s5, i really dont care if a nuke explodes and everyone dies. Thats how far away im from the show today. Generic diaogues. Bad plots. No development. Etc. But, and this is a weird case, as it happened with the Gov, Negan, and Alpha, Lance, as a villain, carries the whole plot for me.
Season 10 : I cant believe how bad they managed the whisperer war. Again. Dragged season. Didint care for any of the characters, like, totally detached from them, and the only good part, for me, was Samantha Morton as Alpha. Nothing more.
Season 7 : I think this season was the one that lost every ounce of respect that the audience had left. The saviours arc was so so bad i cant believe the show didnt get cancelled. An amazing pilot (except for the first Negan pick, that was my last fav character) with an amazing quantity of filler. Andy and Jeffrey carried this one really really hard. Putting Simon in was a wtf? move. He didnt only take power from Negan, but also they forced him to be the "real bad guy" when Negan was, in fact, wayy worse than him.
Season 8 : Twd fanbase agrees in a lot of things and disagrees in a lot of others, but i havent seen 1 person that doesnt put season 8 at the bottom. A disgrace. A complete downfall that lost me as a weekly viewer (i binge watched twd since s7, i didnt care for following it every week). The amount of filler was INSANE. There were dialogues that sounded like a porn parody imo and the development was, of course, nule. Also, the absence of some characters really began to felt and i cant thing of one decent aspect really. Every other season, yeah, has awes and flawes, but s8 is the only one that i think : yeah, this is trully unforgivable.
Thank you for reading this and please let me hear your takes!
