9.6? Is it really that good?


As of this post, the IMDb rating is 9.6/10

That's elite level rating. Is it just a small sample size or is this really that good?

reply

No. Grabbed my phone soon. Same old same old, boring.

reply

That's what I suspected. Thanks.

reply

It's down to 9.2 now.

It's getting the Indian drama treatment atm, but I doubt it'll last.

reply

Ah, yes. You have to click through to IMDb to see the most current rating, but it's at 9.1 as of this post.

Anyone know how often the MC rating updates to match IMDb?

reply

Yes, it was that good. Haters here should just stick to sucking dick
At least be objective

reply

No. Just fanboys giving it a 10 because "Muh Rick Grimes"

But I've been told that if you don't like it, it's only because you're a hater.

Lol. I was TWD fan. I accidentally saw some reruns from season 1-2. It was great and then I remembered why I liked it. Now it's always the same, main characters find some dictatorship or fascist community and either fighting it or trying to dissolve from withing. Dead are just environmental hazard.

In season1-2 there where good actors, maybe not Hollywood a-listers, but still people who were either been or were becoming known faces. Laurie Holden, Jon Bernthal, Michael Rooker, Sarah Wayne Callis.

Now all those spin-offs have one or two characters from the original series and all others are totally unknown talentless actors and actresses who weren't good enough to be even a zombie in TWD season 1. And all storylines are already recycled many times.

I DROPPED OUT DURING SEASON 8 OR 9...HOWEVER...THE PREMIERE OF THIS SHOW WAS QUITE GOOD...I WAS SURPRISED.

reply

No it wasn't. They start the series within minutes Rick cuts his hand off. Then endless depressing scenes and fantasies trying to pretend Rick is suicidal. They introduce us to a strong character who is killed right away in an attack, and surprise, there's a fat bloated Michonne. I was surprised that it was so bad I honestly could not think of anything they could have done to make it worse.

reply

YEAH...NO....I REALLY LIKED IT...ALSO...I COULD NOT CARE LESS WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MICHONNE'S WEIGHT.

reply

You're a jerk, and probably a troll. I am not asking anyone to agree or disagree with me. If you liked that show you are probably suffering brain damage. Michonne getting fat in the show is like Hurley on Lost staying fat for 7 years, just another discrepancy. She was believable and cute when she first showed up, now she looks like a bloated matron. They waited too long and failed to make use of the time to write a decent script. It is worse than bad - it stinks.

Assume a normal viewer watching TWD and getting to the point where Rick is lost. People would want any future show to pick up at that point and explain what happened, and gradually unravel a story - but no, within minutes we see a totally pointless de-handing for no reason. They should have shown him chewing it off.

Plus the ... whatever the F they call it, the organization of the A's and B's was ridiculous. Garbage for the mind.

reply

YOU ARE RUDE...AND NONSENSICAL...I ENJOYED THE SHOW...I COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT YOUR THOUGHTS ON FATNESS...TRY COMMUNICATING WITHOUT THE UNWARRANTED EGO AND SMART MOUTH.

reply

Do you imagine I care what you think or want your notes on how to post? You're just at the IQ level to appreciate such a pathetic show.

reply

🤣

Is that square I see supposed to be an admission of block-headedness? ;-)

reply

I WAS LAUGHING AT HOW RIDICULOUS YOU ARE BEING.

reply

RIDUCULOUS, huh?

reply

APPRECIATE THE HEADS UP..I AM TYPING OVER A PAIR OF CATS.

reply

You tell em Kowalski

reply

Lol. Gotta love Trentn.

reply

I tells it like I sees it. This series is one of the worst things .. on a par with The World Beyond.

I don't care if people agree or disagree, but some intelligent discussion would be nice.

reply

Kowalski says you have a smart mouth and purty lips. 🤣

reply

some intelligent discussion would be nice.

reply

I'm not a big fan of Walking Dead. What's your favorite zombie film?

reply

In other words it was terrible. Truly and insults to fans and viewers ... and Michonne got fat.

reply

I haven't seen it yet. I've been disappointed with every one of the spin-off series and think it's just going to be more of the same.

reply

I was most disappointed with Fear, because my expectations were so high and there was a lot of hype on IMDb based on what we wanted/hoped it would be.

World beyond was utter shite.

Ironically, Tales of the Walking Dead was of more interest to me. It introduced a supernatural element to the universe, which I believe it should have had all along.

The first season & the first half of S02 was total meh-ness to me. But starting w/the last half of S02, & especially S03 it was finally hitting it's stride.

But then came S04 & the revamping of the show for Morgan.

And it went quickly down hill from there.

reply

I really liked Season 4, and it went downhill until the demise of John Dorrie, and then it was unwatchably terrible. For me there was hope when Morgan and John Dorie joined the cast, but the plots and story just kept getting worse.

reply

No, it's not. It's the same boring crap. I had to fast forward half of second episode.

reply

Interesting. Maybe only people who like it bother to rate it on IMDb.

reply

I HAVE NOT WATCHED THE DEAD SINCE SEASON 8...I SKIPPED ALL SPIN OFFS...CAUGHT EPISODE 1 OF THIS SHOW...IT WAS GOOD...REALLY GOOD.

reply

Is it 9.6/10 good?

reply

NO...PROBABLY NOT...BUT IT IS PRETTY DAMN GOOD...I THINK PEOPLE ARE JUST SHOCKED TO BE AS INVESTED AS THEY ARE IN THIS SPIN OFF AFTER SO MANY SEASONS OF BLEH.

reply

It was, surprisingly, pretty good. I give it an 8-8.5.

Whether or not, it keeps the monetum up remains to be seen.

reply

I think it is that most of the stuff we see now online is full of fake AI trolls. In so many forums and for example YouTube videos, they fill up hundreds of comments that are all the exact same kind of comment. copied from thousands of comments from years before, and not a neutral or negative review in the whole lot for pages or screenfuls.

Someone, some technology is making people's inputs on anything useless and fake.

From the first episode of this I watched the other day for free this new series is idiotic ... and Michonne got fat and looks like a jack-o-lantern. It's terrible.

reply

OTHERS HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS THAN YOU.

reply

No shit? How many years did you have to spend on this site before you figured that out? ;-)

reply

YOU'RE THE ONE CARRYING ON A ONE MAN HISSY FIT OVER A TV SHOW AND ANYONE WHO DOES NOT ECHO YOUR ANGER AT SAID SHOW.

reply

TWD is a big franchise and has an audience that swarm it. I doubt it's anymore "fake" than any other show, or like LOTR would've had similar ratings.

reply

You always have to mindlessly pop off when you disagree.

Instead of looking critically at the differences. I don't care at all for LOTR, but LOTR followed the books or the spirit of the books pretty well and managed the production and timing of the movies pretty well. Also the basic screenplay and story was already there for it.

That is exactly what I am complaining about with TWD:TOWL.

The problem mirrors the problem of the entire series. It started out really well in the first seasons, but even then Woodbury and the Governor created a precedent for veering off into situations that were just gross and disgusting as opposed to be interesting or thoughtful. Of course it was a comic book, but there is no law that says they could not change the story.

It is a tribute to that first season that the characters and situations were so strong that people followed it for so long, and even into the sequel series as they just got worse and less believable. It was just used as a cash cow for AMC.

Plus as I think I mentioned, if you look in many online forums you see "testimonial" type comments that are all the same - worshipping stars, saying that TWD is the best series that ever existed. There is no real discussion about the merits or demerits of series online, and most comments online here are vapid and pointless or insulting or defensive.

THAT DID NOT HAPPEN...YOU ARE MAKING SHIT UP NOW.

reply

I meant the Amazon series, Rings of Power. That had low ratings.

reply

Never heard of it.

reply

You... never heard of Rings of Power? The Amazon TV series?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7631058/

reply

That's what I said. Not interested either.

reply

Sure, but it's got (relatively) low ratings despite being an Amazon darling.

reply

If you liked The Lord of the Rings movies and hated Hobbit-movies, then The Rings of Powers is even worse than Hobbit. Keep being not interested :)

reply

WHAT SEASON DID WE LOSE MERLE?...THAT IS MY LINE FOR QUALITY...SOME GOOD BITS AFTER THAT...BUT MOSTLY DECLINE.

reply

Merle was your hero, eh?

reply

NO...NOT REALLY...MERLE WAS AN INTERESTING CHARACTER WITH AN ARC PLAYED BY A TOP TIER ACTOR.
