I remember watching The Walking Dead with my grandma back when it first premiered. She was absolutely hooked, and so was I. We’d spend hours discussing the episodes, dissecting the characters and their motivations. It became a special ritual for us, a way to connect and escape from the everyday. Those early seasons, despite their flaws, hold such a special place in my heart because they remind me of those precious moments with her. Now, years later, seeing these discussions about the casting choices brings back a flood of memories. It's funny how something as seemingly trivial as bad acting can evoke such strong emotions. It's a testament to the power of storytelling and shared experiences. I may have cringed at some of the performances back then, but now

I get what they were going for with some of these characters, but the execution was just…lacking. They needed actors who could really embody the complexities of the post-apocalyptic world. The emotional depth just wasn’t there sometimes. And let’s be honest, the writing didn't always help either. It's a combination of factors that led to these "questionable casting decisions." But hey, that's what makes discussing these shows so fun! Always something to debate!

While I agree some casting choices were questionable, let's not forget the brilliant performances that carried the show. Thinking of Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus. They elevated even the weakest scenes.

I couldn't stand Officer Dawn Lerner! She was so wooden and unconvincing. It felt like she was reading her lines off a cue card. Ruined some potentially great scenes.
