Hell, The Walking Dead suffers from horrible bottle episodes and it's only 16 episodes. This recent Mid-Season-Finale would have been a great ending for this season.


In addition to seasons being too long with filler episodes, shows like TWD have just gone on too long period. It's on what, nine seasons now? Shows tend to run out of ideas and start to decline in quality after four or five seasons. TWD has been pretty bad for years now because it has been going on too long. I lost interest in it long ago. I finally dropped it this season Rick being replaced by Judith. Judith is as annoying as Carl, in my opinion, and I just couldn't stand watching this trainwreck of a show anymore.

So basically the ideal show will have 12 episodes seasons and only last for 5 seasons at most. Any more than that, and quality suffers as you have too much filler crap and start to run out ideas.

Well, I think with the show being able to adapt material from the Comic book it's based on, it can stand on it's legs a bit longer than most shows. The problem with it, is they have to stretch that material out over 16 episodes, and with that being done, the material has filler thrown in to it and detracts from the actual story.

Ever since the introduction of Negan, things have just begun to slow down. All Out War was adapted horribly, it's not meant to be covered in 16 episodes, it should have been covered in 10-12. Season 5 ended things perfectly and set-up for the Alexandria storyline.

Season 6 should have been 10 episodes, had the whole conspiracy against Alexandria and end with the No Way Out finale. Rick begs Carl to wake up and experience the New World.

Season 7 should have thrown us forward into future and the beginning interactions with the Hilltop and Saviors. End episode 9 with the beating of Glenn and Abraham, episode 10 has them capture Dwight and proceed into Season 8 with All Out War

Season 8 is All out War, with only 10 episodes.

Season 9 is The beginning of the Whisperers. End the Season with Jesus' death by Whisperer.
