The Walking Dead Ratings Drop to Six-Year Low

Well, this isn’t good.

Turns out that AMC’s hit zombie series “The Walking Dead” has hit a ratings low with the release of its newest episode, “The Big Scary U.” A ratings drop the likes of which the series hasn’t seen since the dog days of Season 2.

Personally, Season 2 was when I ditched the series, and I’ve never looked back. I’ve heard a lot over the years that the series improved greatly moving on from the disastrous second season, but I’m all good.

I have shows like “Stranger Things” (review), “Mindhunter” (review), and “AHS: Cult” (review) to keep me company.

For a full breakdown of the recent rating drop with a bunch of stats involving demographics and whatnot, you can check out Deadline‘s article on the matter. Everyone else I guess can just keep moving on with their lives.

“The Walking Dead” Season 8 is currently airing on AMC.

Season 8 Synopsis:
Last season Rick Grimes and his group of survivors were confronted with their deadliest challenge yet. With the comfort of Alexandria, they let their guard down, only to be reminded how brutal the world they live in can be.

Feeling powerless under Negan’s rules and demands, Rick advocated the group play along. But seeing that Negan couldn’t be reasoned with, Rick began rallying together other communities affected by the Saviors. And with the support of the Hilltop and Kingdom, they finally have enough fire power to contest the Saviors.

This season Rick brings “All Out War” to Negan and his forces. The Saviors are larger, better-equipped, and ruthless — but Rick and the unified communities are fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.

Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but it’s not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces, Maggie leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel leading the Kingdom — Negan and the Saviors’ grip on this world may finally be coming to an end.
