The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because it starts out with HORRIBLE acting and writing, yet somehow finds it's way about mid way through the 2nd season ending in 3,4,5 that are just amazing. I literally binge watched the whole 5 seasons in about 3 days. Yeah it ended up getting that good. Villians you REALLY hate, and HEROS YOU REALLY LOVE. Wow, what a transformation.
What I loved about it is that the writing never stopped being creative as far as plots go. It was always a different situation for the most part, they didn't end up killing off too many of the characters that you become to love as well. Oh they will kill off characters just not Game of Thrones style ot TWD.
There were some groaner jokes, and some silly pop culture references like the soda machine meeting room being named C-3PO and the zombie hurricane when they say "at least it isn't sharks". Yeah same production company... ugh. But Doc is endearing with his stoner hippy jokes.
Overall if you can make it through the first season you'll be happy.
