10 Recent TV Shows With The Worst CGI Moments

10. The Deer - The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead has never been the most consistent show, with even its most ardent fans agreeing that it is a far cry from the comics it is inspired on.

That said, the show has its merits, chief among them the cast's committed performances and its bleak tone expertly conveying the nightmare of living in a post-apocalyptic world. However, its effects work are all over the place.

This is best demonstrated in "Say Yes" (the seventh season's twelfth episode) when Rick and Michonne encounter a deer in an abandoned funfair. Now, this would not be noteworthy if the deer was well rendered, or real, but the CGI used to bring the animal to life is evidently incomplete.

The deer is onscreen for a brief moment before being mauled by walkers, but this did not prevent audiences from having a field day ridiculing the digital eyesore. Seeing that a real deer was used in the show's second season, it is clear that budgeting cuts or a rushed production schedule were to blame for the distracting moment.
