![]() In retrospect, I can think of no worse decision in the history of The Walking Dead than removing the man who came up with the TV adaptation in the first place. Shorter seasons, more quality control, better writing and direction-surely these things would have led to a better quality show overall. Perhaps instead of firing Darabont, AMC should have listened to him. Darabont is still facing off against AMC in a $300 million lawsuit which will finally go to trial in 2021. The termination was blamed on “his volatile and disturbing interactions with the staff and talent,” according to AMC’s lawyers. People acted more human-there’s a pretty graphic sex-scene in the opening moments of Episode 2 which made me think about just how sexless this show has become since.ĭarabont was fired during the second season, as he was apparently hard to get along with, and would write curse-laden emails about the incompetence of those around him to AMC. The writing-and especially the dialogue-was a lot better and more realistic. But that’s more of an observation than a critique. The zombies using rocks to break through glass doors. ![]() I should do some reviews of the first couple seasons since I’m pretty sure I didn’t start writing those until Season 3. I’ve started re-watching The Walking Dead from the beginning and it’s just crazy how much better the show used to be. This is where things took a real turn for the worse, and it was so early on in the show that I still to this day wonder what would have happened if Darabont had stayed on as showrunner-or if he’d gotten a greenlight from HBO and never turned to AMC to begin with.
