Can you expand on this? I never thought of it like that, and watched for the first ~4 seasons (largely because I had quite enjoyed the comic up until that point)
The shows have almost identical tropes. Danger is only exceeded by drama, acting is all hyper emotional, characters are killed off for dramatic effect, random acts of betrayal, etc.
Ehh I don’t really see it, beyond the over-reliance on interpersonal drama between characters who should realistically have far bigger concerns than, for example, carol’s husband being kind of a dick. When I think police procedural I think adamantium-lined plot armor for the main characters, while TWD almost had the opposite problem of killing characters for no reason beyond shock value

Thank women for that one. Their love of “true crime” and hyper emotional drama created some of the laziest tv tropes ever seen.
