Season 7 had a number of issues, but most of them were with storytelling choices, which they'll be sticking by - to an extent - in Season 8.

One of the problems not related to storytelling, however, was the laughable use of CGI. For balance, it should be said that the series regularly knocks it out of the park with its effects work - more-so practical ones - and Shiva looked impressive for the most part.

But for one of the biggest shows in the world, with a decent budget, to think *that* deer, or *that* backdrop behind Rick were acceptable? It's something that was noticed by a lot of viewers and critics, and looks a bit embarrassing for AMC.
