Is The Walking Dead really milked?
I think this is the thing we hear the most as TWD fans. Honestly, I don’t see it that way because the show was based on the comics (Yeah, it’s not 100% the same, but the storyline and arcs are still similar, except for a few things like the CRM, the Reapers, or Beth’s hospital arc.) and from what I’ve heard, they were supposed to start and end it like the comics since it was one of Robert Kirkman’s conditions (I heard that from one of the TWD content creators on tt named Derek.) And they did that. The show ended with the Commonwealth arc and started with Rick searching for his family. So, I don’t get how people expect all these events and storylines to fit into just 5 or 6 seasons.
That said, I won’t deny that there was some filler from the writers. For me, the only thing that might feel a little milked is the spin offs (Maybe except TOWL, since it ties into what happened to Rick after the bridge and Michonne searching for him.. etc.)
Again I know the show isn’t super similar to the comics, but I’m talking about the flow of the story, like the arcs starting with the Atlanta camp, then Hershel’s farm, then the prison and so on. That’s what I mean. As for the events, yeah they changed a lot of things, but I’m focusing on the storyline’s order.
