I know its early in the show, and supposedly not much time has elapsed since the outbreak. But they are dealing with mommy issues, daddy issues, ex boyfriend issues, etc, etc, and a lot of dialog is not much different than if this was a show like 30 something or such, and their worst problems are their feelings. They need to deal with zombie issues, then set about rebuilding civilization, not explore their feelings.

It's generally acknowledged that season 2 was the worst for the reasons you cite but don't give up - it gets better in season 3.

I’m convinced I’m the only person who loved the season on the farm, LOL.

For me, it’s about the character-driven drama; the walkers are what fuels that. But if you’re really into the zombie action, the next season should be good....one of the producers says the group will realize they’ve become too complacent about the zombie threat.
