I read an article recently that claimed 'Hollywood has a Showrunner Problem,' describing that the proliferation of all of these streaming channels trying to fill.out their catalog has led to relatively inexperienced writers and producers being placed in the 'showrunner' role of a major production, with neither the chops or the skill set to put out a quality product. This show is a textbook example. It succeeds based upon the strength of the intellectual property of Walking Dead and the charisma of two of the original series' biggest stars. It also has the strength of quality WD effects and score. Where it falls flat is the writing. The story has far too many inexplicable turns of events and charachter decisions to excuse, and the dialogue is bad enough to occasionally make you laugh dueing what's supposed to be a dramatic moment. If they are going to keep churning out WD spin-offs, they need to get a more competent captain to steer the ship.
