The Walking Dead

Can The Walking Dead Ever Get Its Mojo Back?

As the show returns from its mid-year break, the survivors’ greatest threat may be ratings erosion.

Ten seasons is a very long time for any TV series to stay on the air, especially a serialized drama. Most would consider themselves successful with a lifespan half that long. Since its explosive debut in 2010, The Walking Dead has had a pretty good run. Unfortunately, after a certain point, even cultural phenomenons have trouble holding viewers’ attention. Make no mistake, The Walking Dead is still one of the most-watched shows on television. Nevertheless, a steady ratings decline over the past few seasons has spawned numerous think-pieces about how much life the series has left. That can’t have escaped the notice of the franchise’s masters as they try to pump this well dry with further seasons, a second spinoff series, and the potential for one or more theatrical movies.

Since taking over in Season 9, current showrunner Angela Kang has attempted to staunch the outflow of viewers by broadening the scope of the story to incorporate multiple communities of survivors working to rebuild society, and by focusing more on character drama than on zombie attacks. On its own, the threat of shambling corpses has long since worn out its novelty value. The results have been mixed. While the series has arguably improved in some ways over the prior couple of seasons before Kang took the reins, it still continues to suffer maladies common to any long-running show: repetitive plots, drawn-out storylines, and characters who make dumb decisions for the sole purpose of generating drama. – Source
