I guess I bashed TWD hard after I saw the first series, however the mix of soap opera and post-apocalyptic drama was too much to miss out on, even if for the crap value, so I couldn't help and watched also the second series, I guess the dramatic value improved, although it was quite a drag being spread out over 13 episodes.
Now the third series - I found that at least 100 pct. better than the past ones - in general much better momentum and pace, a good conflict, a charismatic villain, less annoying characters (as they tend to die) some surviving characters becoming less annoying over the course of time (apart from Carl - not sure if it's the actor, but his very lame impersonation of juvenile wanna be tough ass is almost brain damaging, even worse after his voice mutilated).
The fourth series (watched ten episodes yet) wasn't such a bad follow up although a bit inconsistent on the way up until the mid season finale, now it's lost and it looks like the soap opera writing prevailed again.
