As for multiple often pointless plot lines. Game of Thrones wins that contest. At least Walking Dead doesn't need to keep showing fuck scenes and girls tits.
The problem is the people who run the networks are too scared of trying something new, innovation and finding good writers. Watching Pure at the moment. It's a one series idea. Bet they try to spin in into as many as possible as long as viewing figures are good. When will they show the problems these cults have with inbreeding? Deformed children and child deaths?
