That's amazing how do you like it so far?

Ive been a hardcore fan of the show since season 1 episode 1. Stuck through it good times and bad. Season 3 was great under Erickson. But sometimes people tend to glorify him while forgetting the first two seasons under him were universally not liked that much.

I'm one of those which enjoys season 4. Yes, personally I wish erickson had stayed on to finish his story as he was was really coming into his own...but can you really blame AMC for firing him? The first two season were universally not acclaimed as well and ratings fell from 10 million viewers an episode to around 2 million an episode. Even during the acclaimed season 3 ratings fell dramatically each episode.

AMC doesn't want this show to be a failure. But its hard to justify giving Erickson new seasons if under his guidance the show is constantly losing viewers. Furthermore I would go as far as to say if this season still had Erickson as showrunner and played out the exact same way as it has under new management some would maybe praise it more? I know Gimple is not much appreciated anywhere.

I personally am annoyed and fed up with the major time skip, but for what we've got the new season is still better than season 1 and 2. And also still better than the past few walking dead seasons. And funny enough season 4 has been better critically acclaimed than season 3. Look at the show to show reviews and most critics tend to like season 4 better than season 3. I personally still like season 3 more but we have some more episodes to go.

Yes me too, i‘d have preferred the story after the damn. But critics are also just persons with opinions. I wouldn‘t look too much into what they‘re saying.

i don't care much about ratings or critics but i am happy when the show gets approved because this is good for Alycia and the rest of the cast.

also i kinda disagree, under Erickkson the show would have been a different way and there might have been no cross over at all. but show knows, it's only speculations and what if's.

anyways we are where we are right now and i am glad you are with us now Clarice

[SongIceFire]

I'm really liking the new season so far. The new characters they've introduced I find interesting and I kind of like the mystery of how we went from the dam to sports stadium to the vendetta. I don't need every loose end neatly tied up. I get why people aren't pleased that it doesn't follow on neatly from the end of S3 but personally I don't need to have a linear story spoon fed to me. Answering some questions about the dam would be nice but I came to the conclusion that those aren't maybe too important for the rest of the storyline.
