Who’s still watching FTWD?

Just watched the finale last night and thought it was much better than most of the other episodes. I liked the Proctor John character and I'm guessing he'll be the "Negan" of this show and keep showing up and playing the villain. The Christmas dinner scenes and the grave seen were odd, wasn't sure if they were dreams or just symbolic representations of Madison's guilt/fears.

I agree this season was better than the first two, though the bar was very low.

I was hoping this series would have focused primarily on the days leading up to the beginning of the apocalypse and what happens in the first few weeks as things descend to chaos. What were doctors seeing locally, what was the CDC observing around the nation, what were first responders in the field encountering, what was the military doing . . . ? It would be fascinating to see the breakdown of society from many vantage points (you know, a different societal breakdown than what we have right now in our real lives .

I know they showed a sliver of that but then it quickly became a clone of TWD. A deep dive into the early days would have been truly different from TWD and riveting if done right.

I completely agree as to what you were hoping for. That is what the show was billed as. It would have been far more interesting to see how society broke down in the early weeks of the outbreak.
