The Walking Dead: 10 Mistakes That Must Be Learnt From In Season 6

5. Making Humans The Real Villains Of The Show

In some respects this should be refreshing; a show that emphasizes the horrors of human interactions above that of flesh-eating zombies, in a post-apocalyptic landscape, must have real integrity. Unfortunately that isn't really the case here. Ultimately the show is about zombies and there is a tendency to forget that. Increasingly the zombies appear to be less threatening. This isn't to say someone has to be killed off every five minutes just to prove how dangerous they are, just that the situations the characters are placed in need to become more tense than they have been. Many of the bigger emotional moments have involved humans recently, including the death of Beth, The Hunter's eating Bob, and the death of Herschel. This does not mean the writers should abandon the human elements of the show - just that they need to create better situations for the Walkers to leave a bigger impact. We've had rapists and cannibals, after all, so where else is there to go with human villains?
