Perhaps I may have been misguided in that sense. I think it's more the IDEA of what Walking Dead represents (that I am aware of just by reading articles about it in magazines like Entertainment Weekly and TV Guide) I never really saw that much of Game of Thrones (maybe an hour of the entire series) but I knew enough about it that I found the idea of dislikable. (The fact that, in that case it took away Emmy nominations and awards that should have gone to series that were intellectually stimulating like The Good Wife and Justified DOES still bother me after a decade.

My criticism about what it has done to AMC is justified, regardless of your opinion of how good The Walking Dead is. It used to be a network for intellectually brilliant television; now half its original programming is related to The Walking Dead in some regard.

And I am opposed on principle to any series that kills off this many regular characters just as a matter of course. I didn't like it on Grey's Anatomy and I don't like the idea of it here.

It is possible this article is more of a diatribe against the IDEA of a series than what the series actually is. That said, I do think it is troubling the biggest successes on TV the last decade were Game of Thrones and Walking Dead. I'm not exactly wild that a series like Squid Game has become a sensation either, but I'm going to watch some of it before I draw any conclusions on that one.

Does this explain my opinion?
