Also, Cutty being overpowered by a zombie, ya no....

From time to time they are able to service the large group and create compelling stories. Then there will be occasions where we'll spend half an episode with people arguing in a field. All just to set up an "oh no zombie danger" type situation where someone does something stupid.

I get why it's wildly popular and as mentioned the alternatives in the horror genre are just not all that good. Also TV just hasn't done action well in a long time and this kind of stands alone in its space.
