S3 is the worst season by far, it was comically bad. I watched it out of respect for the first two seasons. The last 3/4s of it especially. The prison and the governer were pretty interesting at first but the show has a lot of bloated and tedious exposition throughout with poor and laughable decision making from the characters. Getting over how stupid having a baby and eventually dying from it was, was one of the hardest things to do. Then we had to deal with the repercussions of that for half the season, so all I did was dwell over how dumb everything was. The finale was laughable, they built up so much and it felt like a complete copout. I'll continue to watch the show but man, it's a shame they dropped the ball in s3.
I thought it was a good season but the zombies aren't even a factor like they were before. Season 1 was terror if a zombie showed up and death if a herd of them did. Now they don't even kill it if its by itself and they mow through a herd.
Still pumped for season 4 though.
I think it was fairly obvious that the focus of this season was to showcase human survival and nature within a zombie disaster on a bigger scale. S1 and S2 had plenty of humans against zombies. S2 was more about the enemy being themselves and their own paranoia, doubt and fear of outsiders and the concern that brings when the central decision making of the group is questionable and risky to everyone. S3 took that to a foreign group that had survived in a slightly different way but with a more Shane like figurehead except with a lot more focus on manipulation and his own denial of his past. The whole season was kinda focused on that in a way now that I think about it. With Rick and The Governer both being in denial at times over their family member(s) death. They had a good idea imo, get a bigger group, larger and more fortified place to live and find a parallel group with a few psychotic quirks to wage war over fear and paranoia of eachother with delusional leaders at the front. Just wish that shit wasn't all started by a stupid decision to have a baby during a zombie pandemic.
I hated that character.
