MAY CONTAIN MINOR SPOILERS. As others have said, the early seasons were exciting and captivating with later ones being increasingly ridiculous and formulaic. Season 11 is the worst one in my opinion. The acting is good, especially Cassady McClincy Zhang in the final episodes and the dialogue is okay but the plot and direction are entirely unconvincing. The Commonwealth is stated as having 50,000 people but you only ever see a few dozen and when they 'general citizens' are locked out there are only about 15 of them trying to get through the gates. The plot is also disconnected and confusing for no good reason. And what about the 'labour camp"? Just ridiculous. I watched it because i've watched all of them and loved it at the start but really, this last season is an insult to the intelligence. The main characters are still watchable and turn in good performances. There is a sufficient count of head-stabbings but even they come across as if a quota had been set before shooting began. There are also some genuinely moving moments, mostly because of good acting but the suspension of disbelief required is way over the top, even bearing in mind the level required for buying into the whole zombie thing anyway. And whose idea was it to make the zombies cleverer and more agile in the last few episodes when they hadn't been that way in the hundreds of episodes that had gone before. Watch it if you want to draw a line under it but be sure to follow it with something more intelligent, such as Barry or Curb Your Enthusiasm.
