One year later, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live remains one of the most disappointing entries in The Walking Dead franchise. In this retrospective, I dive deep into what went wrong with Rick and Michonne’s long-awaited return and why the franchise as a whole has been in steep decline.

In this video, I explore:
🔹 The Walking Dead’s biggest problem—its refusal to end and how endless spin-offs (Fear the Walking Dead, World Beyond, Dead City, Daryl Dixon) have diluted the impact of the main series.
🔹 The Ones Who Live’s storytelling issues—why Rick and Michonne’s reunion fell flat and how the CRM storyline ultimately disappointed fans.
🔹 Franchise fatigue—why The Walking Dead has struggled to stay relevant despite once being one of the biggest shows on television.
🔹 How AMC mismanaged the franchise, turning what was once an unstoppable force in TV into a never-ending cycle of diminishing returns.

With The Walking Dead franchise continuing to expand rather than conclude, is there any way to bring it back to its former glory? Or has the series lost what made it special? Let’s break it all down.
