I feel they've gone too far with the character development to the point where it's forced and the dialogue is a bit too "Dawson's Creek"; really contrived and faux-deep and I often sit asking myself what the f**k they're talking about. I don't think the show knows what it is anymore. I watched it for the thrills and kills but those are long gone. Even the zombies are confused caricatures nowadays, there's more effort put into the zombie makeup than giving the audience what we first started watching it for.
