After 11 seasons and 177 episodes, AMC’s The Walking Dead has finally shambled toward the moral coil. After becoming the House that Walt built, the network followed up in 2010 with a post-apocalyptic comic book adaptation by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. And although there were a few deviations from the original source material, showrunner Frank Darabont steered the ship in an engaging way that pleased veteran comic fans and television newcomers alike. That is until Darabont was fired after the second season, then things creatively and behind the scenes began to decay.

"The Walking Dead" may be officially ending with its series finale tonight, but it lived up to its title long before that. Once one of the most talked-about shows on TV, the series became a shell of its former self, shambling along like a zombie even as it bled viewers and left critics increasingly underwhelmed. For the record, season 5 was when I jumped ship and the season 6 finale killed any chance of the show winning me back.
It may not have been in the same storytelling league as AMC's crown jewels like "Breaking Bad" or "Mad Men," but "The Walking Dead" was a ratings juggernaut. From 2010 to 2017, viewership for "The Walking Dead" kept climbing. Then during season 7, the trend reversed. The season's premiere, "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be," brought in 17.03 million viewers. The next episode, "The Well," dropped nearly 5 million to 12.46. Compare the show's ratings peak,...
