The Walking Dead ratings hit six year low

I've said it before and I'll say it again, personally, I stopped watching AMC's THE WALKING DEAD after season 2. After Shane was killed off I had little stake in the remaining characters.

That said, I realized the series is now all but an entirely different cast, but still, I'm not interested in revisiting the show. However, I did watch Negan bust up heads in the season 7 opener so maybe there's hope for me yet.

Speaking of people watching THE WALKING DEAD, it turns out this last episode that aired called “The Big Scary U” marked a six-year low in rating for the zombie series.

I don't really know too much about all the rating specifics this recent Deadline article spit out, but if you care about such in-depth analysis you can check it out HERE.

Season 8 has the following 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.

THE WALKING DEAD S8 is currently airing on AMC.
