While the season 8 is on winter break currently, it may be time to ask a number of questions about Walking Dead : what does it remain today of the series ? And should it go longer ?

If you read us regularly for a long time, you probably know that we have a relation of love/hate with the series Walking Dead. It was loved in its infancy, but with the time it was mostly understood that she didn’t care of our mouth and not a little. But as with all important relationships of our existence, it’s hard to move on to something else because we always have the illusion that it is possible and that the flame stage can be revived.

Where it leads us, the madness of men…

Except that here, it is not that we question, but also of millions of viewers around the world, as the series keeps tumbling in the run up to hearings. For example, at the end of the final mid-season, the show had met “that” 7,89 million viewers, which is very far from the 16 million the season 6. And a petition has not been slow to be put in line to get fired the showrunner. This proves the point that there has to be a problem. The fan feels betrayed, abandoned, taken for a schmuck, and he hoped that the channel AMC is going to react.

But for this, it would be necessary already that the producer of the series would be aware of this disenchantment is progressive and, obviously, it is not won. In fact, David Alpert, president of the company Skybound, producer of the show, was interviewed recently by Variety about these decreases in hearing and, for him, this is not a problem, everything goes well :

“I don’t think the series has lost some of its popularity, in any way. I think we are witnessing a decline of the more general, all media taken together, in our way of consume something in a specific time.”

What you need to understand in what experts commonly call the “big bullshit”, is that David Alpert is an assumption that the series has perhaps not lost its audience, but the latter does probably more likely the show at the time of its airing on AMC, but catches up later. And it could even be that it is because when one takes into consideration that Walking Dead remains one of the series most popular (and most pirated) in the world. But for this season 8…

Everything is going well.

“The ability to connect digitally with our fans to find what they want and give them products of the great creators, this is not a small idea. This is a huge idea. And we could be the production company of this new millennium.”

So, all is well in the land of the zombies, it’s just that people don’t watch the series when it is broadcast, it does not mean that it has become a parody of herself and she takes his audience for a fool. It must be good to live in the small world of Skybound Entertainment, there must be beautiful all the time. Even when it rains in torrents.

Since you are told that everything is going well…
