with potential, but it never got there. At its best the show was only "good." It never reached great status.

For me it, it was can't miss its first 5-6 seasons. For several years it was a big deal.

For me as well.

Now, though, it has reached a level where it's kinda become embarrassing to admit to others that I watch it.

Haha, during the first 3 seasons, most people, I knew watched the show, but dropped off, I was the only one who defended it and kept watching while they all stopped. I wish now I was one of those who stopped during season 2

I'll finish out this season, but am not sure now that I will be back for the next one. It will depend on how the rest of this one makes me feel.

I did drop Fear the Walking Dead for good.

Yeah, I've been thinking this too, the show was never GREAT television, it was good for the first 3 seasons, but all that potential was squandered by AMC and Scott Gimple. The show should have been on HBO, it could have gone down as one of the best tv series ever, if it had a big budget and 10 episode seasons, of course Frank Darabont would still be the main man behind the show's success. I'd say it would have ran for about 7 seasons on HBO.

Agree with everything here. I would like to add that their def were SOME great episodes (before they got to Alexandria). After season 1, like many I was hooked, and I remember saying that HBO should have had this show.

Of it were on HBO they could have gone full Negan and the Governor would have been full Bolton.

It ironically became a walking corpse.
