I was into this show for probably a couple seasons but somewhere around season 4 or 5 it just became absurd and I stopped watching it all together. When you constantly have to outdo last week’s cliffhanger ending with something more grandiose the story just becomes tired. I think I was pretty much done when they killed the one guy off at the end, had an entire Talking Dead episode dedicated to his shocking demise, only to bring him back the next week because he survived by crawling under a dumpster.

THIS. You break a lot of rules and survive, but a poignantly misleading cliffhanger is hard to forgive. That and other failures doomed it for me too.
