I’ve been watching a good idea run into the ground from a lack of creativity and narrative vision. This season I watched week after week of nothing. Navel-gazing drivel. It’s a zombie apocalypse, for cripes’ sake. You do two things:

1). Kill zombies
2). Survive.

Where’s the great dilemma? If there are any issues, they’re logistical, not moral.

If it's that simple and so difficult for you to watch, then why are you watching it?

More importantly, the TWD threads have been running for the entire length of the series so why are you just now jumping in to dump on it?

The “dilemma” is that kill zombies and survive isn’t a good plot for a TV show. It’s fine for a movie of an hour and a half to 2 hours, but for 16 episodes of a TV show it’ll get boring fast. There’s no story, there’s no engagement, there’s reason to turn in next week because once you’ve seen 3 episodes you’ve seen EVERY episode. There’s always moral dilemmas, every half way decent zombie movie remember there are non-good people in the world and your survivors will have to deal with them as well as zombies, it’s a vital issue in the genre.
