I love the original and kept hoping for improvement assuming it would get better. It took longer than expected. This is my favorite genre of horror type movies so its easy for me to get absorbed. FTWD had good things in season one, I just had a hard time liking characters. Season two was much better but still had a lot of nonsense mixed with brilliance. Season two is worth a watch but if you are impatient, just skip to seasons 3 and 4, they are fantastic.
I don't watch much TV to be honest. Ive seen all of TWD and FTWD, Ozark and Breaking bad. Outside of that, I probably havent seen it if it came out in the last 5-8 years. No GoT, no vikings, none of it.
