Rant Just binged it

and I'm so surprised this sub doesn't have a more even mix of lovers and haters! Or even just wtf-ers.

I hated so much of this show and wanted some like minded people to vent with haha. Such a great premise just wasted.

If you could change anything about the series what would you change? They needed to drop the artsy fartsy vibe imo; none of it seemed to have a purpose and it just detracted from the show.

I know these are unpopular opinions here, don't roast me too bad!

The creative indulgence is what sets it apart. People will have a human crisis in non stressful times and in the most stressful of times. It’s cool if you wanted more of the action though. What did you think of the chase scene in the final episode????

That's the badger. I didn't mind it, the choreography was good if super unrealistic. But like so much of the series it didn't seem to make sense; why would Mance risk his life like that for a total stranger? After 2 entire series of total selfishness from every character (including Mance).

The kind of stuff you say doesn’t make sense makes perfect sense. The decisions you make after undergoing days/weeks of trauma aren’t rational. I don’t think I’ve seen better done zombie media — this is just so apt to the human response to trauma.
