It's hard to believe we've said goodbye to "The Walking Dead." After 11 seasons that spanned 12 years, the flagship show has finally wrapped. Some fans stopped watching (https://www.looper.com/112759/people-stopped-watching-walking-dead/) the show long before its end after they felt storylines went off the rail — for instance, the brutal murder of fan-favorite Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) and the drawn-out Saviors War storyline soured many viewers. As noted in a Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/thewalkingdead/comments/ezc6bn/when_should_twd_have_ended_in_your_opinion/) thread, some fans felt the show could've ended after Season 4 and the thrilling showdown with the Governor (David Morrissey).
However, when showrunner Angela Kang took the helm in Season 9, the fans who were still watching held hope for greatness. After protagonists Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) departed, Kang fleshed out the remaining heroes. Even supervillain Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) walked the path of redemption and became an empathetic antihero to cheer onward.
In the end, our heroes banded together to remind the tattered humans who remain that hope still exists even in the darkest spaces and life is always worth salvaging. With three spinoff series (https://people.com/tv/the-walking-dead-spin-off-shows-everything-to-know/) in the works, "The Walking Dead" still has much to say, but the original journey has sadly ended. Over its last season, the show had both amazing highlights and some head-scratching plot holes. Here are some of the best and the worst things about Season 11 of "The Walking Dead."
