How and why the rules change in such a setting. Therefore relationships and major life events are key to the plot of the show, and so I find the soap opera comparison way off the mark.
George Romero is the man who famously called it a soap opera, and he hasn't made anything zombie related worthy of any credit for a long, long time. I'll listen to anything he has to say when he directs another zombie film that isn't terrible.

I have given the show a few chances yet it never seems like it's going anywhere. And you gotta admit the show looks like it's going to be all about Zombies, especially the way it's advertised. I get that it's supposed to be all about the survival stuff but that doesn't make it any less boring to me. I've seen upto midway season 3 and i just gave up. It feels like the show is always building up yet nothing really ever happens.
I usually like dialogue and character driven shows but TWD is just very meh to me. It also helps if the characters are interesting and like able, which I don't really get with the show.
