I don't usually like Parker Posey, but her gradual change in character totally sold me.  

I’m enjoying this humor they’ve randomly decided to add, it’s a totally different spin.

Same with the first. It's good that they changed it up with just enough humor.  Now, when they get to Alpha, humor may be a little tough, but I expect it to be lighter than her WALKING DEAD run.

Episode 3:    Dee

    Welp, Alpha never dressed well from the beginning.  Seeing her torturing Lydia reminded me why she truly deserved Negan.

Episode 4 :   Amy, Dr. Everett

     I really enjoyed perky Amy and felt bad she got stuck with grumpy Dr. E.  Anthony Edwards was perfectly cast for the role. Poor Amy not making it sucked.

Episode 5 : Davon

     Allegory. Sad that it was the batshit crazy son killing children, but fits in (see 'look at the bunnies'). Davon trying to get the people to change, which never works post-apocalypse.

Since I know they were the only reason both @DRW50and I kept watching for awhile, this is newsworthy:

 

Apparently Danai Gurira co-wrote their spinoff miniseries, which I will be watching. I don't know if/when I'll watch the actual final seasons of TWD though. It seems very odd that the actual ending of the main show appears to largely just be a springboard for the multiple spinoff shows - I think they are remiss to not show these two main characters at least reuniting with the rest of the longtime ensemble (and their two young children) before going off on a new adventure, unless that reunion is going to happen in the spinoff. If the show ends up in syndication somehow new people are going to be wildly confused.

Apparently Carol is left caring for the Grimes kids and helping to run whatever the current settlement is. I'm glad she's happy. I do hope she eventually got back together with Ezekiel. They were neat together around when I stopped watching. But I still think killing off Carl was an unforgivable mistake.

Thanks @Vee . My days of watching anything with the show are pretty done (I just lost interest, rather than any outrage), but I am going to wait and see how the spinoff ends. Either way I hope they will give a positive ending, if possible, for Rick and Michonne.

I'll watch anything Danai Gurira is in, and Lincoln is brilliant as well. The others spinoffs hold no interest for me.

Meanwhile:

Why do you feel that way about Carl’s death? I was actually so happy about it. I found the character insufferable.

I thought Carl had improved a lot in recent years, and he was a foundational part of the show who was always intended by the creators to go on. I thought it stripped a key piece of the core out of the show. I also had zero interest in Negan's 'redemption.'
