He doesn’t really have bad ideas, but basically drags out 5 episodes worth of ideas into 15 episodes. ![]() ![]() A showrunner is higher than a director on a movie set.Īnd as soon as Gimple moved to other projects and they replaced him as showrunner with the shows best writer Angela Kang, the quality rebounded immensely. Blame Gimple for not putting his foot down and contributing to all that but it's a billion dollar franchise, he's not single-handedly ruining it.Ī showrunner is involved in every decision in the show. In a day and age where IP is king and this is the IP that matters the most to AMC, it's absurd to blame a single writer over an entire company of suits that are likely constantly interfering with the product. There are also decisions higher than him that he likely has nothing to do with, like some of the top line characters getting killed off, or the Rick movies, or which new shows wind up getting picked up. He's clearly a good writer, he's written some of the show's best episodes. Considering the franchise's history with showrunners it seems pretty clear to me that he's just the guy that stopped resisting the network's bullshit after he got the job. I know people love their scapegoats (they do this with Star Trek and Alex Kurtzman too, among others) but the idea that a single person can ruin multiple shows that serve as the bedrock for an entire media conglomerate has always been pretty laughable to me. Though I personally don’t think there’s ever been an outright bad season. Personally, my favorites are s1, s3, s4, s5 and s9. Season 9 has some of the best reviews of the entire series.Īnd maybe it’s cause I’ve been around TWD since the beginning so I remember the bad old days of fan fights but I think you might be the first person to say something nice about the infamous season 2. They’re still very high ratings though when compared to most other shows.īut the actual reviews for the show are higher than ever for TWD once she took over. People are cord cutting and TWD is the #1 example of that. I can’t honestly judge those episodes since they were so heavily compromised.īut ratings for all of tv are in an absolute freefall. Basically had to burn it down and try again in a much different way on the fly because of covid. Well, the last couple seasons have been troubled for obvious reasons with the pandemic. ![]()
