‘The Walking Dead’ on AMC is TV’s highest-rated series, and 11.4 million people tuned in to the Season 8 Premiere, but the numbers were down 33% compared to last year’s Negan baseball bat swinging gorefest.
Season Six ended with a cliffhanger and Season Seven gave you the payoff, but that wasn’t the case for Season Eight. ‘The Walking Dead’ is back to building up the suspense, and as a fan of the comic, it might be hard to repeat the hype of Negan’s first swing. The ‘All Out War’ storyline may bore some viewers, and the playoff may not be what you want, but the show is still well written and remember, the series started with only 5.24 million people watching the first season. Whenever you start to doubt the creator of ‘The Walking Dead’ Robert Kirkman, he’ll start chopping heads off.
