Seasons 1-3 were fantastic. Skip the rest.
What started as a must-watch show, devolved sometime in season 4 to become a complete hodgepodge of woke garbage. It’s almost criminal - the show was brilliant and truly gripping until that point.

Stop after season 3
Watch season 1-3, as that is fantastic IMO. Then things started to go woke, and as usual that is when things go south. At least you can get some good episodes in before you have to look elsewhere.

An interesting one...
This show is an interesting one for me. There are a lot of LGB characters throughout- which isn't necessarily a predictor of wokeness... Same with characters of multiple ethic backgrounds- who are also likely to be found after a 'worldwide pandemic'! Very rarely did these feel forced to me (which is one of my main criticisms with wokeness).
Interestingly, there were a few characters of faith throughout the series as well, generally represented in a decent manner too. (I was very frustrated with a certain religious character when first introduced, but he changed, developed and became a solid character overall.) It is interesting seeing almost every character of faith question their beliefs through the series, which imho made them feel more relatable and realistic than other characters who never struggle with deeper concepts like that.

Good until series 7
Good until series 7. Not sure why everyone here is saying Season 3. Also it's not very woke.
Starts getting a little Woke at that point and becomes boring and repetitive.

The dead awaken season 8 or 9
Great fun until after the downfall of Neegan. By season 9, it is woke, annoying, unentertaining, and totally implausible, even by zombie fiction standards. I bailed.
