70. I only watched the first episode this season.

Feb 2017

And it was well into the 4th episode when I finally did watch it because my had son called me and told me he would never watch the show again. He said it had crossed a line into things so dark he didn't think he could stand to watch anymore. He did start watching again but we haven't talked much about it.

My younger daughter hasn't watched even one episode because she read a spoiler before seeing the first episode and felt similar to the way my son felt without having even watched it.

Sunday was Walking Dead family night for us. Our night included a no red meat, no red or green sauce, meal.

So, my question to you. Is it worth watching anymore? Does it get better after that first awful episode? Should I give it another try?
