Things haven't quite gone to plan with Negan, at least not relative to the anticipation and hype that followed the character prior to his arrival.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is having a blast in the role, and is more than capable of channeling Negan's sadistic nature. The character has largely been very one-note though, until towards the end of the first half of Season 7 anyway, and we saw a bit too much of him throughout it (and he never shut up when he was there).

Still, he undoubtedly poses a big threat to, well, everybody, and we're gonna have to get used to seeing him. The various Negan-centric storylines are enough to fill much more than just one season of TV, and the response has been positive enough to stick to the script and keep him around. Hopefully Morgan and the writers can improve the character, because - unless the ratings decline forces them into a rather different direction - he'll be around a while yet.

Chance Of Dying: 3/10
