Or what aspects do you think most contributed.
I think Madison leaving in Season 4, along with them trying stylized storytelling. Instead of just telling the story, they got hung up on trying to find a different frame for each episode to make it "clever"
I always thought Madison leaving was the best thing for the show, Bringing her back was/is the worst
Alicia was getting boring
Getting rid of John was a bad idea
For me, it mostly failed from the beginning, then S4 came around and revitalized/reinvented/re-everything'd it into fucking brilliance. S5 managed to keep that up for a little bit, but it slowly dwindled again into blah. But man, S4 with Morgan and John and Al and the back-and-forth between their stories and the baseball stadium, that was an outstanding season of television.
shareS4. It never got any better after that.
share"Nine days later" Once they hit that and skipped the entire premise of the show, it failed.
shareit got dumb towards the end of season 3, which ended up making that "cliffhanger" season finale a great place to stop watching
shareIn the episode when they got drunk, started playing the piano, and attracted every zombie in the building!!!
shareI thought the season after that where John Dorie and Morgan met up was the best season of that show. I was just trying to watch episode 2 of the new season, and it is truly horrible and revolting. They should just shut it down.
