Spoiler for Well...damn.:
I don't know if I can keep watching the show. It's at the point now where the characters get one day of relief only to have a month of misery...it's starting to get exhausting as a viewer. I know it's a zombie apocalypse, but there needs to be more balance as a tv show. How much do you want to bet Maggie's baby is stillborn and it's like some kind of zombie baby in her womb? That would pretty much be par for the writers.

I was already planning on watching Black Mirror but I'll give it a go tonight after reading that Twilight Zone comparison. Don't let me down, duga.

Out of the first 2 seasons and the first 2 episodes of season 3, there have only been 1 or 2 episodes that I would count as just "alright", but every single one of them worth watching. Since each season is only a handful of episodes, the quality is really up there.

I watched it at 9:00 then the entire 90 minutes of The Talking Dead, which was great!, and then re-watched it at 11:30. Everything hit even harder the 2nd time. Linda taped it but I'm not sure she's going to be able to get through it.

I totally get it...and in that sense, it was very effective. But it's been years of every season the crew works towards something only to have it snatched away. The show has been on long enough that for me to keep going, I need to see a legitimate light at the end of tunnel. I'm getting fed up with every effort to survive seeming futile for the characters.

I couldn't get into The Walking Dead past season 1 since it really felt overdone and the suspense goes on for way too long with little to no pay off. Breaking Bad did that far better and will always be a structure of what television should be like. I'm not going to watch a half hour episode of the same scenes shown in the previous episode then come to find out that the interesting stuff won't happen until the episode after it.
