Fans have a bunch of reasons for letting TWD go
It goes without saying that the "Walking Dead" fandom isn't a monolith, and it includes folks with different ideas, perspectives, preferences, and more. Therefore, there's no one single moment that made people let the show go all at once. Rather, multiple different factors resulted in some people giving up on it as others in the community continued to watch, as evidenced by a Reddit conversation where user atrocw (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/ag83my/any_tv_shows_that_you_stopped_watching_midway/ee46pzr/?context=3) admitted they dropped "TWD" from their watchlist part of the way through.
"Right after Glenn's death. Turned it off then," wrote liamemsa (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/ag83my/any_tv_shows_that_you_stopped_watching_midway/ee4qpds/), referring to the brutal demise of Gleen Rhee (Steven Yeun) that kicked off Season 7. Faithless195 (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/ag83my/any_tv_shows_that_you_stopped_watching_midway/ee60ngc/) stopped watching around a similar timeframe, specifically mentioning that the Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) cliffhanger to conclude Season 6 sucked the excitement right out of his arrival. On the other hand, Ricochet888 (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/ag83my/any_tv_shows_that_you_stopped_watching_midway/ee4h9z2/) feels the show became a "Soap Opera with zombies," so they turned it off and -andiclare- (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/ag83my/any_tv_shows_that_you_stopped_watching_midway/ee50l59/) called it quits sometime post-Terminus.
At the end of the day, "The Walking Dead" still has its fans, and it'll undoubtedly go down as one of the most popular titles to ever grace the small screen. Simultaneously, for some, it'll live in infamy for how it left them so disappointed that they stopped watching entirely.
