Probably a hot take but long before <insert favorite character> got killed I got bored of it because I actually wanted a sci-fi story with a logical conclusion. Everyone hated the season 1 CDC episode but I enjoyed that little tidbit of investigation and possible clues towards solving the outbreak. Then the creator had to go and disavow it and say "This isn't sci-fi, there are no happy endings, it's just a story about zombies. We don't plan to explain the zombies." I wasn't really into it any more and finally stopped watching when it was obvious that guy who was supposedly traveling to DC to report what he knew about the outbreak was bullshitting everyone.
The thing is, ever since Night of the Living Dead it’s been a given that the zombies don’t get explained or resolved. It’s hardly groundbreaking to do that shit, and yet people still think they’re blowing our minds by going that route.
I agree 100% actually, and hated how they threw away the world building that Darabont managed to introduce in Season 1.
I stuck around a little while longer, to see if they could actually pull off what the comic managed to in terms of great antagonists and interesting personal conflicts (largely in the form of The Governor). But the show never really found its footing after losing Darabont imo. S2 was a fucking boring slog, then they went on to screw up the Governor and every change they made to the characters of the comics was worse and worse. The women characters were insufferable which is again disappointing because the comic actually had some really good ones.
In fact, the show was so bad it killed any interest I had to finish reading the comic lol, knowing that Kirkman was supporting this shit full-steam
Now that sounds a hell of a lot better than the shit we got, with more filler than DBZ’s original run (“WHATS IN THE BARN” for what was it, 24 episodes? Fuck right off).
Instead of that, which could have been really interesting vinettes which would have probably tied into eachother and the mainline group eventually (like we saw with Morgan kind of), we got, what are they up to now, 6 fucking spin off shows? I’ve never met someone in my entire life who has discussed watching a single episode of any of those shows, despite knowing tons of people who saw at least some of the main show.

Everyone knows it was a virus brought to earth by a crashing probe from Venus.
That or Hell literally flowing over, I liked how he left it open while also pointing in some directions.
