Didn't his character die several seasons ago? Would these have been flashbacks?

I think the last season I watched he was decapitated and his zombie head left to look around at poo poo.

So yeah, probably either flashbacks or someone starts carrying his head around to make quippy one-liners.

I watched the first 4-5 episodes and said "wow, this is bad," and from everything I hear it didn't get better but is somehow still on the air?

There were these maps of "where in the US are different shows popular"

TWD was rabidly popular through all of Appalachia

I.e. everywhere that people wish rampaging hordes that they were allowed to shoot would charge onto their property

Those were literally the best episodes of the series.

Like seriously if you thought the first half of season 1 was bad you haven't seen even 1% of how bad the show got.

Dexter was really good for 1 and 4, pretty good for 2 and 3, and then it had the steepest quality decline of anything that I have ever seen on TV, including True Detective. I have no idea how anyone could have wrapped up Season 8 and been like "good job everybody".

Dexter was basically "will people watch a series with a main character worse than Seinfeld?" and the answer was yes.

Season 1 actually had themes of banding together in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and scrounging for resources while avoiding the shambling horde. The entire remainder of the show is devoted to character drama, only none of the characters are consistently written or sympathetic enough that you want to root for them. By season 3 the zombies have entirely ceased to be a threat and our heroes are instead fighting other survivors who have military vehicles and thunderdomes where dissidents are made to fight chained-up zombies. And if that sounds dumb enough that it'd be fun to watch, 80% of screentime is devoted to the same six-ish characters arguing about whether they can trust whatever seasonal characters are going to get eaten by zombies, and either getting betrayed because they trusted them, or watching them sacrifice their lives to save the group and feeling guilty about not trusting them.

E: I will always defend the Jimmy Smits season of Dexter. All the non-Jimmy Smits parts sucked, but that man carried it by his lonesome.

Jimmy Smits is great, but somehow everything he's in immediately gets terrible. Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, Star Wars, as soon as Jimmy Smits joins a project it takes a nosedive. It's like he's under some kind of witch's curse or something

He and Alan Alda saved the last seasons of the West Wing, arguably.

Not my argument, though. That show loved hero-worship a lot lot and too much.

You can actually stop watching when you hear the phrase "pardon my tits". Nothing good happens after that.

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."

I honestly thought this was true because of its proximity to the show's locations, like wish fulfillment. We have the same folks here in the Ozarks. Why are mountainous people crazy?

Exploration is ill-advised.
People do also like to watch shows set where they live, especially when it's not a place that usually gets shown in media.

Counterpoint: the highest elevation in Florida is 300 feet above sea level, and there's nothing in the mountains more crazy than any given Florida Man.

I liked Little Miss Pardon My Tits. Never watched past the end of that season because they killed off Cool Black Sargent.
