One of the common views I read online is that the entire show is amazing if binge watched, as it forms one great story. I liked the other aspects of post-apocalypse survival themes such as the danger of other human groups (Negan and the saviors, I really liked, the Negan actor is amazing and very charismatic). The reason is that "escaping the zombies" and being stressed & running all the time, gets old. It felt enjoyable to watch a slower paced story of survival and base/world building by the core cast of the show, mainly Rick Grimes and his son Carl. I even prefered the later seasons than the first seasons. Personally, I very much enjoyed binge watching this entire show. After season 1, the pacing becomes very slow (lots of episodes, each 1 hour), and the story drags on and is more about watching the cast settle down in bases/single locations. What I will say is that season 1 is definitely the fastest paced season, reminiscent of typical Zombie films such as Dawn of the Dead with a simple "escape the undead" premise. I decided to binge-watch in 2021 to make an opinion for myself. One common view is that the first seasons are great, then it becomes garbage. This is a very long running TV-show (10+ years) with many seasons.
