I tend to alternate between screaming at the TV; "WHY THE HELL DO YOU IDIOTS KEEP SPLITTING UP!!??," loving the twists; Shane getting out of the school or Rick's "Of course I knew," and getting a kick about the black humor; the zombie who hung himself, the zombie in the well, or the farm's pet zombies in the barn.

My take is that the problem the series is one of expectations. It isn't really a zombie series, it's a soap opera about damaged people trying to survive, and process, the Zombie Apocalypse.
