I hate that Daniel wasn't there for 2b.

I also don't like that we're two seasons in and I barely give a shit about my favorite characters on this show. I didn't know about the comics for the original show until season 2, so I didn't go into the show with favorites already in my mind. The show itself made me care... This show isn't managing to pull that off. My favorites while watching season 2 were Nick, Strand, Chris, and Daniel. Chris died. I barely care. They are pretending Daniel is dead and left him out of an entire half-season(or killed him in a way that left people wondering and just forgot about him.) I barely care. If all the characters got onto a bus together and closed the door and the whole thing exploded and killed them all, I'd barely care.
No matter how hard I try, I just don't care about these people... I'm not sure what the problem is... I even connected to characters I didn't like in the original show. I cried when Lori died and I fucking hated her. I actually liked Chris and didn't really care much when he died. This show isn't able to rope in my feelings as well as the first one was.
Yeah I just can't connect with the characters, I don't know why that is but they're just unlikeable. Wouldn't care if anyone of them died. The show just doesn't work if all the characters are batshit unlikeable.
It's so jarring because we get some excellent action/character moments which are ruined by anti-climactic commercial breaks or awful editing tactics.
I hate seeing whiners complain about it.
They should have had a minor Hollywood star among the survivors for a certain time,. some B or C lister. Then have Strand leave him behind to be eaten.
I guess I like this show less and less all the time because I forgot about it. Is it coming back this summer or are they going to cancel it?
It was renewed for a third season shortly after season 2 premiered. I loved the first half of season 2 and loathed the back half. The fact that they split the season didn't help, but splitting it for almost the entire summer is something FTWD hasn't earned and can't support.
With all that said, I'm sure I'll be tuning in.
The fact that we didn't get to see more of society falling apart and Daniel dying.
