Walking dead (after rick got kidnapped?)
it was just so depressing and everything went to shit all the time
Fear the walking dead
Same, too depressing and cruel at times
Revenge
At times its ok but you never know when the next depiction of cruelty and emotional abuse hits
The A word
Can only watch it in small doses since the depiction of parents failing is hard if you have abuse history
The last one I still watch but not as the last thing before bed, otherwise I will dream horrible things.
How deep you got into TWD? My unsocial ass liked the first couple of episodes, this cop riding on a horse like in Hot Fuzz, but with all that interpersonal drama I got sick of it. It felt so weird these people are the last men on Earth and they still have something to fight each other over.
Jericho felt better in that aspect. Some suspect it was closed because it was too good and educative. I don't know if it's true, but it's 90's cinema slow, so you can become bored really quick.
The show is about interpersonal drama more than it is about zombies and that's not me being reductive. The creator himself has said as much. It's a drama set in a post apocalyptic zombie world, not a zombie drama set in a post apocalyptic world.
That's why it's not my piece of cake maybe. Too much of that IRL to enjoy the same on the silver screen. Pressing a play button, I want these fantasy persons to work together like Legolas and Gimli, not fighting each other over small things.
Yea same. I want some dope zombie fighting. That's why early on they established that everyone was infected and there's pretty much no way to cure it currently. Season 1 or 2 iirc.
As I mentioned. I stopped pretty soon after rick got kidnapped, his son had died, etc
And yes, the sheer infinite capacity for humans to be cruel to each other, even after an apocalypse just made me feel bad.
Resident evil was nice, Oblivion I liked, Book of eli, even i am legend. But twd is just too cynic for me.
Agreed.
