10 things nobody wants to admit about The Walking Dead

We all know how popular The Walking Dead franchise has become but there are some things people don’t want to admit when talking about it. 

The Walking Dead was a staple of television for over a decade. The show ran for 11 seasons across 12 years, entertaining and terrifying viewers all at the same time. And it made history for AMC as one of its longest-running shows, while also spawning its own shared universe of zombified shows.

The series may have concluded in 2022, but the franchise continues to experience success between the launch of new spinoffs Dead City, Daryl Dixon, and The Ones Who Live, as well as the long-running spinoff Fear The Walking Dead, which has also now come to an end.

But it wasn’t all sweetness and light for the TWD Universe (well, was it ever, really?). The main series started a lot of discussions over the course of its lengthy run, generating a lot of conversations among passionate fans about what it got right and what it got wrong.

As we reflect on the show’s legacy, now is the time to admit some of the things that people just weren’t ready to acknowledge during its run. Both good and bad; let’s talk about them all.
