Well, I have not seen the 8th season, mainly because I gave up and left the show. For me, since the governor died, with the exception of some good times, the series was in decline. At some point it was one of my favorite shows, now I'm just waiting for it to end. I think that the creators were wrong when trying to follow the plot of the comics, they could have made a more radical change with respect to the comics, and the result would have been much better, in my opinion.
